Missing Woman's Family Hit with Cryptic Bitcoin Demands

The family of a 63-year-old woman who went missing in Las Vegas on August 8 has reported receiving strange Bitcoin demands from someone posing as the missing woman.

Alisa Goods, from Brooklyn, New York, was last seen leaving her friend's house to visit a CVS Pharmacy. Her niece, Alana Calloway, said she began receiving suspicious text messages from Good's phone days later, claiming that her card had stopped working and asking for payment in Bitcoin.

The texts included instructions on how to send Bitcoin using the Cash App and even offered to share the wallet address. When Calloway asked her aunt to call her, the person texting back claimed they were at a gas station and couldn't talk.

Goods' son also received a suspicious phone call, which he believes was from someone impersonating his mother. He recorded parts of the conversation and shared it with police. In the call, the imposter claimed to be 'at home' when asked for their location.

The family has turned over all evidence to the Las Vegas police, who have classified Goods as a missing adult and said there is 'nothing to suggest she is in danger.' However, they believe the calls and texts may be the result of spoofing - a tactic used by scammers to disguise their identity.
