美国元帅服务公司周二发出警告，说非冒名顶替的骗局针对个人，声称有针对性的人如果不通过从其个人银行帐户中撤回现金并将现金存入比特币ATM的罚款，则可能会被捕。

A warning was issued Tuesday by the U.S. Marshals Service about imposter scams targeting individuals with claims that those targeted are subject to arrest if they don't pay a fine by withdrawing cash from their personal bank accounts and depositing the cash into bitcoin ATMs.

美国元帅服务公司周二发出警告，以指责冒名顶替的骗局，该骗局针对的是，如果他们不从其个人银行账户中撤回现金并将现金存入比特币ATMS，则有针对性的人可能会被捕。

Bitcoin ATMs are automatic teller machines that allow the purchase of cryptocurrencies by using cash or debit card. According to the online resource Coin ATM Radar, there are more than 30,000 bitcoin ATMs in the U.S., 240 of which it says are in Arkansas.

比特币ATM是自动柜员机，可以使用现金或借记卡购买加密货币。根据在线资源硬币ATM雷达的说法，美国有30,000多个比特币ATM，其中240个说在阿肯色州。

According to the advisory, scammers spoof actual government agency telephone numbers and impersonate government officials in an effort to persuade people that they must pay a fine or risk arrest due to identity theft, failure to report for jury duty or other civil process issues. During these calls, the release said, scammers attempt to collect a fine in lieu of arrest, telling the targets that they must withdraw cash from their bank accounts and transfer the money to the government by depositing cash into bitcoin ATMs.

根据咨询的说法，骗子欺骗了实际的政府机构电话号码和假冒政府官员，以说服人们必须因身份盗窃，未报告陪审团职责或其他民事流程问题而罚款或逮捕罚款或风险。新闻稿说，在这些电话中，骗子试图收取罚款以代替逮捕，并告诉目标他们必须从银行帐户中撤回现金，并通过将现金存入比特币ATMS将资金转移给政府。

The release said scammers use a variety of tactics to sound and appear credible, such as providing badge numbers, the names of actual law enforcement officials and federal judges, courthouse addresses and spoofed government telephone numbers that appear on caller ID displays as the U.S. Marshals Service or other government offices. Scammers often mine public information sites to obtain old residential addresses, phone numbers and other personally identifying information in an attempt to add an air of legitimacy to their claims, the release said, and end the call by advising the victim that they will be contacted by an investigator.

该新闻稿称，骗子使用各种策略来听起来并显得可信，例如提供徽章号码，实际执法官员和联邦法官的名称，法院的地址和欺骗的政府电话号码，这些电话号码出现在呼叫者ID上，作为美国元帅服务或其他政府办公室。该新闻稿称，骗子经常开采公共信息网站，以获取旧的住宅地址，电话号码和其他个人识别信息，以试图增加其索赔合法性的气氛，并通过告知受害者将与他们联系，并结束呼吁。调查员。

A short time later, the release said, the victim is contacted by another individual claiming to be a U.S. marshal who is looking into the case. That person will then review the previous conversation and tell the victim the issue can be resolved by either hiring a lawyer or withdrawing "80% of their physical assets" for deposit into a digital wallet (bitcoin) while saving the withdrawal and deposit receipts for review by investigators once a meeting can be established. The victim is then told their money will be transferred back to them once the process is completed and the victim will be cleared of any criminal wrongdoing.

新闻稿说，不久之后，另一个声称是正在调查此案的美国元帅的人就联系了受害者。然后，该人将审查以前的对话并告诉受害者，可以通过聘请律师或撤回“ 80％的物理资产”存入数字钱包（比特币）来解决问题，同时保存提款和存款收据进行审查一旦建立会议，调查人员就可以。然后被告知，一旦过程完成后，受害人的钱将被转移回他们，并将受害者清除任何刑事不法行为。

The release said as a final step, the victim is told to send a photo of their driver's license and of the QR code scanned at the deposit kiosk to a phone number provided by the scammer.

该新闻稿说，作为最后一步，受害者被告知要发送驾驶执照的照片以及在存款亭扫描的QR码发送到骗子提供的电话号码。

Deputy U.S. Marshal Jeremy Hammons, public information officer for the U.S. Marshals Service's Eastern District of Arkansas office, said people should be aware that no legitimate law enforcement agency, including the U.S. Marshals Service, would ever contact the subject of an arrest warrant and demand payment of a fine to avoid arrest.

美国元帅服务局的公共信息官员杰里米·哈蒙斯（Jeremy Hammons）副元帅杰里米·哈蒙斯（Jeremy Hammons）说，人们应该意识到，包括美国元帅服务在内的合法执法机构都不会与逮捕令和要求付款的主题联系罚款以避免被捕。

"That's not how we operate," Hammons said. "If anyone does get such a call, they can contact our district office or the federal court clerk and ask if there's a subpoena they missed or something like that but we never make a phone call to tell someone they have a warrant out and give them the option to pay a fine. Never."

哈蒙斯说：“那不是我们的运作方式。” “如果有人接到这样的电话，他们可以联系我们的地区办公室或联邦法院职员，询问他们错过了传票或类似的传票，但我们从不打个电话告诉某人他们有逮捕令并给他们。从未支付的选择。”

Asked if someone were to come to the U.S. Marshals Service to pay a fine if bitcoin would be a suitable currency, Hammons laughed.

当被问及是否有人来美国元帅服务处，如果比特币是合适的货币，哈蒙斯笑了。

"We don't even accept fines in the U.S. Marshals Service office, period," he said. "The only one who can accept payment of a fine is the federal clerk and I doubt they take bitcoin."

他说：“我们甚至不接受美国元帅服务办公室的罚款。” “唯一可以接受罚款的人是联邦文员，我怀疑他们会服用比特币。”

Federal Clerk Tammy Downs confirmed that her office does not take bitcoin or any other type of cryptocurrency in payment for fines, fees or assessments of any kind.

联邦店员塔米·唐斯（Tammy Downs）确认，她的办公室不需要比特币或任何其他类型的加密货币来支付任何形式的罚款，费用或评估。

"We do not," Downs said Tuesday.

唐斯周二说：“我们没有。”

Hammons said anyone who gets such a call should not engage with the caller beyond getting a name and phone number to contact in order to report the incident.

哈蒙斯说，任何接到这样的电话的人都不应与呼叫者互动，除了获得姓名和电话号码以报告事件。

"These guys are pretty well versed," he said. "They'll have answers that will probably align with factual information. The best thing to do is to get their name, tell them now isn't a good time to talk and get off the phone. It's important to get a name and document the phone number so we can see if the information aligns with other complaints."

他说：“这些家伙非常精通。” “他们会有可能与事实信息保持一致的答案。最好的办法是获取他们的名字，告诉他们现在不是交谈和下电话的好时机。获取名称和文档很重要电话号码，因此我们可以查看信息是否与其他投诉保持一致。”

Hammons said similar scams in the past have often targeted well-educated professionals, such as doctors or other professionals who tend to have busy schedules and could plausibly have overlooked a jury summons or other legal contact.

哈蒙斯说，过去类似的骗局经常针对受过良好教育的专业人员，例如医生或其他倾向于忙碌的时间表，并且可能忽略了陪审团传票或其他法律接触的专业人士。

"They call up a doctor and say, 'Hey, you missed a jury trial,' and the first thing they may think is they don't want their name ruined," he said. "So they go out and follow these directions and end up being out a lot of money."

他说：“他们叫医生，说，'嘿，你错过了陪审团的审判'，他们可能认为他们的名字不想毁了。” “因此，他们出去遵循这些指示，最终赚了很多钱。”

People who do lose money to such scams, Hammons said, are sometimes reluctant to report it out of embarrassment for having fallen for the ruse, but he said reporting any such incidents is key to putting a stop to them. The same, he said, goes for people who recognize

哈蒙斯说，那些损失了这类骗局的人有时不愿意为借助诡计而尴尬地报告，但他说，报告任何此类事件是停止他们的关键。他说，同样的是认识的人
