币界网报道：Australian cryptocurrency ATMs are increasingly being exploited by scammers, with victims coerced into depositing funds under fraudulent pretenses, according to recent reports. Scammers often impersonate government officials or tech support, convincing individuals to transfer money via crypto ATMs under threats of legal action or account suspension. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has warned that these scams have surged, with losses exceeding $1.6 million in just a few months. Crypto ATMs, which allow quick cash-to-crypto conversions, are particularly vulnerable due to their anonymity and irreversible transactions. Authorities urge vigilance, advising users to verify requests independently and avoid sharing personal information. Meanwhile, regulators are considering stricter oversight of crypto ATM operators to curb misuse.
