尼克·雷默（Nick Reimer）在Womt's Be My Guest計劃中說，比特幣ATM的零售店和加油站一直在城市周圍彈出。

Recently, scammers have been contacting people claiming to be from government agencies or other organizations and requesting victims pay a fee in Bitcoin to obtain a service or license.

最近，騙子一直在與聲稱來自政府機構或其他組織的人聯繫，並要求受害者支付比特幣的費用以獲得服務或許可。

一名受害者被騙取了1,300美元，試圖獲得企業的健康許可證，但總數卻更高。

“We’ve seen as much as $18,000 get pumped into these (scams). So, my goal of course everyday is to let the public be aware of this and be very cautious if somebody is telling you to do cryptocurrency with these machines.”

“我們已經看到了多達18,000美元的$ 18,000（騙局）。因此，我當然每天的目標是讓公眾意識到這一點，並非常謹慎，如果有人告訴您使用這些機器進行加密貨幣。”

Manitowoc Police are looking to act on the issue.

馬尼托瓦克警方正在尋求對此問題採取行動。

The city is working on an ordinance allowing them to place signs on the Bitcoin machines warning people about being scammed and what they should do.

"Call your banker, call a relative, call the police and say hey, does this sound legit,” he suggested. “We will help you out. And a lot of times, it will definitely be a scam and we’ll be able to recognize that."

他建議：“打電話給您的銀行家，打電話給親戚，打電話給警察說嘿，這是合法的。” “我們會為您提供幫助。很多時候，這絕對是一個騙局，我們將能夠認識到這一點。”

The machines are usually located next to ATM’s.
