Evansville Police are investigating after an elderly man was threatened out of nearly $8,000.
Officers responded to a gas station on Washington Avenue after a man was seen placing several 100 dollar bills into a bitcoin machine while on the phone.
The victim told officers the caller threatened to take away his Social Security if he did not comply.
The caller allegedly told the man to go to three different banks and pull all of his money out.
The offender told the victim not to tell family members until the process was over.
