愛荷華州總檢察長佈倫納·伯德（Brenna Bird）說，她正在起訴加密貨幣ATM公司比特幣倉庫和硬幣翻轉，以允許三年內將愛荷華人騙取2000萬美元。

愛荷華州總檢察長佈倫納·伯德（Brenna Bird）起訴加密貨幣ATM公司比特幣倉庫和硬幣翻轉，以使愛荷華州在三年內被騙取2000萬美元。

Bitcoin Depot and CoinFlip profit directly from Iowa scam victims by imposing excessive, and often hidden, transaction fees, according to the lawsuits. The suit also alleges that Bitcoin Depot deceives Iowans about its refund policy.

根據訴訟，比特幣倉庫和COINFLIP直接從愛荷華州騙子受害者那裡獲利，從而徵收過多，通常隱藏的交易費用。該訴訟還聲稱，比特幣倉庫欺騙了愛荷華州的退款政策。

Attorney General Bird’s investigation found that Bitcoin Depot takes a 23% cut of the money sent through the machines, and CoinFlip claims 21%. The Attorney General is suing both companies for violating the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act.

總檢察長伯德（Bird）的調查發現，比特幣倉庫削減了通過機器發送的23％的錢，而Coinflip宣稱21％。總檢察長正在起訴兩家公司違反《愛荷華州消費者欺詐法》。

The investigation into crypto ATM companies is ongoing.

對加密ATM公司的調查正在進行中。

Also speaking at the news conference was Iowa Bankers Association president Adam Gregg, who talked about scams.

愛荷華州銀行家協會主席亞當·格雷格（Adam Gregg）也在新聞發布會上發表講話，他談到了騙局。

“Every day in the United States, 57,000 Americans are scammed. That’s enough to fill a baseball stadium, and they’re scammed out of enough money to build that stadium, $430 million every day from 57,000 Americans every day,” Gregg says.

“在美國，每天，有57,000名美國人被騙取。這足以填補一個棒球場，他們用足夠的錢被騙取了該體育場，每天每天有4.3億美元的價格從57,000名美國人身上造成4.3億美元，”格雷格說。

Gregg says cryptocurrency machines are being used in the latest scam.

格雷格說，最新騙局正在使用加密貨幣機器。

“Whatever the specifics, the scammers create an urgent reason for victims to take cash from their bank account in the Bitcoin ATM. The cryptocurrency ATM is the key method by which scammers actually get their hands on the funds,” Gregg says. He says crypto ATM scammers are fooling a lot of people.

“無論具體細節，詐騙者都會為受害者從其銀行帳戶中的銀行帳戶中的現金帶來緊迫的理由。加密貨幣ATM是騙子實際上動手資金的關鍵方法。”格雷格說。他說，加密ATM騙子正在欺騙很多人。

“According to the FTC, fraud losses to these types of crypto ATMs top $65 million just in the first six months of 2024.”

“根據FTC的說法，僅在2024年的前六個月，這些類型的加密貨幣ATM造成了6500萬美元的欺詐損失。”

Attorney General Bird says it’s almost impossible to recover the money once it is sent through one of these machines.

總檢察長伯德說，一旦通過這些機器寄出的錢，幾乎不可能收回這筆錢。

A woman named Loree who is a retired nurse and widow, was a victim of a bitcoin scam.

一個叫洛雷（Loree）的女人是一名退休的護士和寡婦，是比特幣騙局的受害者。

“It all started with an urgent call from Amazon to return the call, and it was regarding a iPhone that I ordered. Well, I don’t even have an Amazon account,” she says. She says the woman told her several fraudulent accounts had been opened up in her name.

“這一切始於亞馬遜的緊急電話，要回電，這是關於我訂購的iPhone的。好吧，我什至沒有亞馬遜帳戶。”她說。她說，這名婦女告訴她，幾個欺詐性賬戶以她的名字打開了。

Loree says she then got a call from someone who said he was a federal marshal.

洛雷說，然後她接到一個說他是聯邦元帥的人的電話。

“He proceeded to tell me that I was there was a warrant out for my arrest for money laundering, and if I didn’{~}t use him to help eradicate my case, then I would be extradited to Texas and face trial there.”

“他繼續告訴我，我有逮捕我因洗錢而被捕的逮捕令，如果我沒有用他來幫助消除我的案子，那麼我將被引渡到德克薩斯州並在那裡面對審判。”

Loree says the man told her to go to the federal marshal’s website and check for his name and there was someone with the name he gave her. The fake marshal then told her to take out $25,000 to help them create a secure account so they could catch the scammer. The money was put into the bitcoin machine and sent to various banks.

洛雷說，該男子告訴她去聯邦元帥的網站並檢查他的名字，有一個名字叫她的人。然後，假元帥告訴她拿出25,000美元，以幫助他們創建一個安全的帳戶，以便他們可以抓住騙子。這筆錢被放入比特幣機器中，並寄給了各個銀行。
