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.

根据WWLP的报告，这一事件发生在侦探进入坎伯兰农场商店时，并受到一名怀疑一名妇女被骗的店员的警报。

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.

该名女子解释说，她已经与一个男人打电话，该男子指示她从银行中提取4,000美元，并将其存放到商店内的一台比特币机中。骗子告诉她，告诉任何向她询问这笔钱的人。

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.

侦探干预了那个女人试图在机器上创建别针的时候。他建议她不要进行，从而有效防止骗局。南哈德利警察局赞扬商店店员的警惕和快速行动，以提醒当局。

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，一旦资金降落在骗子的钱包里，由于加密货币交易的不可逆转性，几乎不可能取回它们。

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.

根据联邦调查局的互联网犯罪投诉中心（IC3）的说法，一旦押金，这些不义之的收益通常会迅速转移到海外的帐户，这使得康复非常困难。

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.

这一事件凸显了加密货币骗局的日益增长的趋势，欺诈者将数字货币的匿名性用于骗局受害者。这就是为什么如今，在处理未经请求的加密货币付款请求时保持警惕和谨慎行事更加重要的原因。
