Crypto scams like this are on the rise, and because Bitcoin is nearly impossible to trace, it makes it a go-to for fraudsters.

像這樣的加密騙局正在上升，並且由於比特幣幾乎無法追踪，因此它是欺詐者的首選。

So, how did she get tricked, and what can you look out for with similar scams?

那麼，她是怎麼被欺騙的，您可以用類似的騙局尋找什麼？

Eagle-eyed clerk saves woman from fraud

鷹眼店員拯救了女人免於欺詐

According to the report by WWLP, the incident occurred when a detective entered the Cumberland Farms store and was alerted by a clerk who suspected a woman was being scammed.

根據WWLP的報告，這一事件發生在偵探進入坎伯蘭農場商店時，並受到一名懷疑一名婦女被騙的店員的警報。

The woman explained that she’d been on the phone with a man who instructed her to withdraw $4,000 from her bank and deposit it into a Bitcoin machine inside the store. The scammer had told her to tell anyone who questioned her that the money was for a trip.

該名女子解釋說，她已經與一個男人打電話，該男子指示她從銀行中提取4,000美元，並將其存放到商店內的一台比特幣機中。騙子告訴她，告訴任何向她詢問這筆錢的人。

The detective intervened just as the woman attempted to create a PIN on the machine. He advised her not to proceed, effectively preventing the scam. The South Hadley Police Department commended the store clerk for their vigilance and quick action in alerting authorities.

偵探干預了那個女人試圖在機器上創建別針的時候。他建議她不要進行，從而有效防止騙局。南哈德利警察局讚揚商店店員的警惕和快速行動，以提醒當局。

If the transaction had gone through, once funds had landed in the scammer’s wallet, it would have been nearly impossible to retrieve them thanks to the irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transactions.

如果交易完成了，一旦資金降落在騙子的錢包裡，由於加密貨幣交易的不可逆轉性，幾乎不可能取回它們。

According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), once a deposit is made, these ill-gotten gains are often moved quickly to accounts overseas, making recovery extremely difficult.

根據聯邦調查局的互聯網犯罪投訴中心（IC3）的說法，一旦押金，這些不義之的收益通常會迅速轉移到海外的帳戶，這使得康復非常困難。

This incident highlights the growing trend of cryptocurrency scams, where fraudsters exploit the anonymity of digital currencies to scam victims. Which is why it’s even more important these days to stay vigilant and exercise caution when dealing with unsolicited requests for cryptocurrency payments.

這一事件凸顯了加密貨幣騙局的日益增長的趨勢，欺詐者將數字貨幣的匿名性用於騙局受害者。這就是為什麼如今，在處理未經請求的加密貨幣付款請求時保持警惕和謹慎行事更加重要的原因。
