The FTC's report shows a massive increase in Bitcoin ATM scams, with $110 million scammed last year. This year alone, the figure has already reached $65 million just in the first half. If we compare this to 2020, there's been a tenfold increase in scams...isn't that alarming?
What do you expect from these figures? I don't think I ever expected the figures to reduce, the figures directly corresponds with the increasing crime rate. By next year, the figures may be higher if the economic situation in some countries do not change and improve for the better because as people become more desperate, they are more willing to find more ways to get money even if it is stealing. Bitcoin ATM's may just be the easier target currently for these criminals.
