爱荷华州总检察长布伦纳·伯德（Brenna Bird）起诉加密货币ATM公司比特币仓库和硬币翻转，以使爱荷华州在三年内被骗取2000万美元。

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.

根据诉讼，比特币仓库和COINFLIP直接从爱荷华州骗子受害者那里获利，从而征收过多，通常隐藏的交易费用。该诉讼还声称，比特币仓库欺骗了爱荷华州的退款政策。

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.

总检察长伯德（Bird）的调查发现，比特币仓库削减了通过机器发送的23％的钱，而Coinflip宣称21％。总检察长正在起诉两家公司违反《爱荷华州消费者欺诈法》。

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

爱荷华州银行家协会主席亚当·格雷格（Adam Gregg）也在新闻发布会上发表讲话，他谈到了骗局。

“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.

“在美国，每天，有57,000名美国人被骗取。这足以填补一个棒球场，他们用足够的钱被骗取了该体育场，每天每天有4.3亿美元的价格从57,000名美国人身上造成4.3亿美元，”格雷格说。

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

格雷格说，最新骗局正在使用加密货币机器。

“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.

“无论具体细节，诈骗者都会为受害者从其银行帐户中的银行帐户中的现金带来紧迫的理由。加密货币ATM是骗子实际上动手资金的关键方法。”格雷格说。他说，加密ATM骗子正在欺骗很多人。

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

“根据FTC的说法，仅在2024年的前六个月，这些类型的加密货币ATM造成了6500万美元的欺诈损失。”

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

总检察长伯德说，一旦通过这些机器寄出的钱，几乎不可能收回这笔钱。

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

一个叫洛雷（Loree）的女人是一名退休的护士和寡妇，是比特币骗局的受害者。

“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.

“这一切始于亚马逊的紧急电话，要回电，这是关于我订购的iPhone的。好吧，我什至没有亚马逊帐户。”她说。她说，这名妇女告诉她，几个欺诈性账户以她的名字打开了。

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

洛雷说，然后她接到一个说他是联邦元帅的人的电话。

“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.”

“他继续告诉我，我有逮捕我因洗钱而被捕的逮捕令，如果我没有用他来帮助消除我的案子，那么我将被引渡到德克萨斯州并在那里面对审判。”

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.

洛雷说，该男子告诉她去联邦元帅的网站并检查他的名字，有一个名字叫她的人。然后，假元帅告诉她拿出25,000美元，以帮助他们创建一个安全的帐户，以便他们可以抓住骗子。这笔钱被放入比特币机器中，并寄给了各个银行。
