俄克拉荷馬州的新法律打擊比特幣ATM騙局

加密貨幣自動櫃員機看起來像常規的ATM，允許人們進行合法的加密貨幣交易。但是，它們也可以用於進行欺詐活動。

A new law going into effect on November 1 is cracking down on scammers who have been using Bitcoin ATMs to steal money from unsuspecting Oklahomans.

11月1日生效的一項新法律正在打擊那些一直在使用比特幣自動取款機來竊取毫無戒心的俄克拉荷馬人錢的騙子。

Senate Bill 1083 was authored by Sen. Darrell Weaver (R-Moore) and Rep. Mark Lepak (R-Claremore), and it introduced ways to protect Oklahomans from falling victim to these scams.

參議院第1083號法案是由參議員達雷爾·韋弗（R-Moore）和眾議員馬克·萊帕克（R-Claremore）撰寫的，它引入了保護俄克拉荷馬人免於陷入這些騙局的受害者的方法。

Cryptocurrency ATMs, which look like regular ATMs, allow people to conduct legitimate cryptocurrency transactions. However, they can also be used to carry out fraudulent activity.

看起來像常規ATM的加密貨幣ATM允許人們進行合法的加密貨幣交易。但是，它們也可以用於進行欺詐活動。

These scams are becoming increasingly common across the nation. In 2024, the FBI had more than 10,956 complaints about these kiosks, with $246.7 million stolen. Oklahomans alone lost $37.7 million to cryptocurrency-related scams, including scams related to cryptocurrency ATMs.

這些騙局在整個國家變得越來越普遍。 2024年，聯邦調查局（FBI）對這些售貨亭有10,956多個投訴，被盜了2.467億美元。僅俄克拉荷馬人就損失了3770萬美元，與加密貨幣相關的騙局，包括與加密貨幣ATM有關的騙局。

“They prey on the vulnerable, which I really don’t like, and that’s what they do,” said Sen. Weaver.

參議員韋弗說：“他們捕食脆弱的人，我真的不喜歡這就是他們所做的。”

Victims are coerced to deposit cash, which unknowingly goes right to the scammer.

受害者被強迫存入現金，這在不知不覺中直接騙取騙子。

Last year, News 4 reported on an elderly lady who lost her entire life savings to a bitcoin ATM. A scammer pretended to be a federal agent and convinced her that her identity had been stolen and the only way to protect her money was to convert it into cryptocurrency.

去年，新聞4報導了一位年老女士，她的一生都為比特幣ATM損失了。一個騙子假裝是聯邦特工，並說服她自己的身份被盜了，保護她的錢的唯一方法是將其轉化為加密貨幣。

“I never thought it would happen to us, and she’s humiliated, she’s embarrassed, she’s doubting her choices, and she’s a smart woman, she’s bright, and so it’s heartbreaking,” said Jamie Moore, whose mother was scammed.

傑米·摩爾（Jamie Moore）說：“我從來沒有想過這會發生在我們身上，她羞辱了，她很尷尬，她懷疑自己的選擇，她是一個聰明的女人，她很聰明，這令人心碎。”

This new law will help in scenarios like that one.

這項新法律將有助於這樣的情況。

“Right now, in states across the country, these cryptocurrency ATMs are very unregulated,” said Joy McGill, advocacy director, AARP Oklahoma.

俄克拉荷馬州AARP倡導總監Joy McGill說：“目前，在全國各地，這些加密貨幣ATM非常不受監管。”

Now, all kiosks will be licensed and tracked by the state.

現在，所有售貨亭將被國家許可和跟踪。

“We’ll figure out where they’re at, what the process is if there is a fraud, how they can go about it, and getting the bankers involved in this, the banking authorities involved in this is very key,” said Sen. Weaver.

參議員韋弗說：“我們將弄清楚他們在哪裡，如果有欺詐行為，如何解決問題以及讓銀行家參與其中的過程是什麼，參與此過程的銀行當局是非常關鍵的。”

There will also be daily transaction limits, along with fraud warnings on the machines.

還將有每日交易限制，以及機器上的欺詐警告。

Victims will also be able to seek refunds if they are reported within 14 days to the police and the kiosk operator.

如果受害者在14天內向警察和亭運營商報告了受害者，則可以尋求退款。
