Show Notes
Crypto ATM fraud surged in the US, with $333 million lost last year. These machines, offering quick cash conversions with minimal ID checks, became a prime target for scammers. Seniors, accounting for 86% of victims, were often lured by romance schemes, fake government calls, and other cons. AI-driven deepfake videos and personalized scripts boosted profits four and a half times. Lawmakers are now pushing for stricter kiosk safeguards and new crypto rules to combat this growing issue.
