美國聯邦貿易委員會警告美國比特幣用戶提防涉及允許比特幣轉帳的 ATM 機的詐騙。詐欺者越來越多地使用自動櫃員機作為誘使人們將資產轉移到錢包的手段。

The US Federal Trade Commission has warned US Bitcoin users about scams involving ATMs that allow Bitcoin transfers. Fraudsters are increasingly using ATMs as a way to get people to transfer assets to their wallets.

美國聯邦貿易委員會警告美國比特幣用戶警惕涉及允許比特幣轉帳的 ATM 機的詐騙行為。詐欺者越來越多地使用自動櫃員機作為誘使人們將資產轉移到錢包的方式。

In a blog post on its website, the FTC warned readers, “Is there a legit reason for someone to send you to a Bitcoin ATM? The short answer is NO. Will someone from the government send you to a Bitcoin ATM? NEVER.” It said that scammers will try to convince users to act quickly to protect their bitcoin and ask them not to let anyone know, including close friends and family members. After inciting this panic, they ask users to protect their at-risk bitcoin by moving it elsewhere.

在其網站上的一篇部落格文章中，聯邦貿易委員會警告讀者：「有人將你送到比特幣 ATM 機有正當理由嗎？簡短的回答是否定的。政府會有人送你去比特幣 ATM 機嗎？絕不。據稱，詐騙者會試圖說服用戶迅速採取行動保護他們的比特幣，並要求他們不要讓任何人知道，包括親密的朋友和家人。在煽動這種恐慌之後，他們要求用戶透過將其轉移到其他地方來保護他們的有風險的比特幣。

“No matter what the caller says, there’s no such thing as a government Bitcoin account or digital wallet. There are no Bitcoin federal safety lockers,” the FTC said.

「無論打電話的人說什麼，都不存在政府比特幣帳戶或數位錢包之類的東西。沒有比特幣聯邦安全儲物櫃，」聯邦貿易委員會表示。

The agency also offered tips to avoid falling for the scams, including never moving their funds to ‘protect’ them, calling the relevant bank, investment advisor, or broker, and reporting the scammer to the FTC.

該機構還提供了避免落入騙局的提示，包括永遠不要轉移資金來「保護」他們、致電相關銀行、投資顧問或經紀人，以及向聯邦貿易委員會舉報詐騙者。

Bitcoin ATM Scams Up Tenfold Since 2020

自 2020 年以來，比特幣 ATM 詐騙數量增加了十倍

A recent CNBC report, citing FTC data, noted that Bitcoin ATM scams have risen 10X since 2020. In 2023 alone, scammers have reportedly drawn over $110 million using ATMs to separate users from their bitcoin. It also mentioned that people over the age of 60 are three times more vulnerable to falling for these tactics.

CNBC 最近的一份報告引述FTC 的數據指出，自2020 年以來，比特幣ATM 詐騙數量增加了10 倍。億美元。它還提到，60 歲以上的人受這些策略影響的可能性是其他人的三倍。

“In many of the incidents the FTC identified, fraudsters contact a victim — or the victim inadvertently connects with them — claiming to be a customer service representative flagging an attempted identity theft or an account breach,” the CNBC report said. The victim is then sent a QR code, which, upon scanning, initiates a transaction that would be fulfilled after depositing cash into an ATM.

CNBC 的報告稱：「在聯邦貿易委員會發現的許多事件中，詐騙者會聯繫受害者——或者受害者無意中與他們聯繫——聲稱自己是客戶服務代表，舉報企圖身份盜竊或帳戶洩露的事件。然後，受害者會收到一個二維碼，掃描二維碼後，就會啟動一項交易，將現金存入 ATM 機後即可完成交易。

“The victim is typically directed to scan the code and deposit cash into the Bitcoin ATM, which converts it into bitcoin that immediately gets transferred to the scammer — all while the victim thinks they’re protecting their assets.”

“受害者通常會被指示掃描代碼並將現金存入比特幣 ATM，ATM 將其轉換為比特幣，然後立即轉移給詐騙者 - 而受害者認為他們正在保護自己的資產。”

While that is one way a lot of these scams occur with users already holding bitcoin. Scammers use these ATMs as a tool to get them to transfer assets to their wallet addresses.

雖然這是許多此類騙局發生在已經持有比特幣的用戶身上的一種方式。詐騙者利用這些 ATM 作為工具，讓他們將資產轉移到他們的錢包位址。
