UK Law?

On another site I have interacting with some one that appears to
fallen for an employment scam. The "employee" is request further
payments be made via Cryptocurrency before paying them for work
done. Stonewall scam to me.
Their initial question what contract rights they have, when
pressed on which law making body the contract conforms to, they
say it says UK Law. As far as I know UK Law just plain doesn't
exist. It would have to. for example, England/Wales, Scotland or
Northern Ireland. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Stupid people say stupid things. Often, the terms “England” and
“UK” are used interchangeably. But since it’s a scam, who cares?

Law is potentially relevant if they can be physically tracked
down. Perhaps the cryptocurrency transactions can be traced?

Not sure, luckily they are only £150 down and couldn't afford
the requested further payment of £300. I listen to a podcast
about suspected North Korean hackers raiding crypto wallets and
it seems almost impossible to trace payments if the
hackers/scammers are determined.

I know a Nigerian Prince who can trace cryptocurrency
transactions for £200. Should be able to recover that on top of
the £150.

He must be about 90 now, he was writing to me in 1987 saying he
had £3m to put in my account. Did Nigeria ever have a king?

They had rulers or non-sovereign monarchs in the various
regions.
