Texans lost $56 million to scams involving crypto kiosks last year, prompting lawmakers to call for regulation. A recent incident involved a 72-year-old woman who was nearly scammed out of $5,000. She was targeted by a fake officer who claimed she needed to post bail and instructed her to use a crypto kiosk at a grocery store.
The woman was coached through the process over the phone, but became suspicious when she saw the machine. Further details of the incident are available from news outlets.
Lawmakers are seeking to address the issue of crypto kiosk scams, which have resulted in significant financial losses for Texans.
