美国联邦贸易委员会警告美国比特币用户提防涉及允许比特币转账的 ATM 机的诈骗。欺诈者越来越多地使用自动柜员机作为诱使人们将资产转移到钱包的手段。

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.

美国联邦贸易委员会警告美国比特币用户警惕涉及允许比特币转账的 ATM 机的诈骗行为。欺诈者越来越多地使用自动柜员机作为诱使人们将资产转移到钱包的方式。

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.

在其网站上的一篇博文中，联邦贸易委员会警告读者：“有人将你送到比特币 ATM 机有正当理由吗？简短的回答是否定的。政府会有人送你去比特币 ATM 机吗？绝不。”据称，诈骗者会试图说服用户迅速采取行动保护他们的比特币，并要求他们不要让任何人知道，包括亲密的朋友和家人。在煽动这种恐慌之后，他们要求用户通过将其转移到其他地方来保护他们的有风险的比特币。

“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.

“无论打电话的人说什么，都不存在政府比特币账户或数字钱包之类的东西。没有比特币联邦安全储物柜，”联邦贸易委员会表示。

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.

该机构还提供了避免落入骗局的提示，包括永远不要转移资金来“保护”他们、致电相关银行、投资顾问或经纪人，以及向联邦贸易委员会举报诈骗者。

Bitcoin ATM Scams Up Tenfold Since 2020

自 2020 年以来，比特币 ATM 诈骗数量增加了十倍

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 最近的一份报告援引 FTC 的数据指出，自 2020 年以来，比特币 ATM 诈骗数量增加了 10 倍。据报道，仅 2023 年，诈骗者就利用 ATM 机将用户的比特币骗取了超过 1.1 亿美元。它还提到，60 岁以上的人受这些策略影响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 的报告称：“在联邦贸易委员会发现的许多事件中，诈骗者会联系受害者——或者受害者无意中与他们联系——声称自己是客户服务代表，举报企图身份盗窃或账户泄露的事件。”然后，受害者会收到一个二维码，扫描二维码后，就会启动一项交易，将现金存入 ATM 机后即可完成交易。

“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.”

“受害者通常会被指示扫描代码并将现金存入比特币 ATM，ATM 将其转换为比特币，然后立即转移给诈骗者 - 而受害者认为他们正在保护自己的资产。”

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.

虽然这是许多此类骗局发生在已经持有比特币的用户身上的一种方式。诈骗者利用这些 ATM 机作为工具，让他们将资产转移到他们的钱包地址。
