Bitcoin ATMs are used to steal money. Using some phishing email, a phone call or even a fake AI audio, targets are persuaded to send money using a Bitcon ATM to the recipient's wallet address because the transaction must be kept secret. A QR code is often provided that has the address and Bitcoin ATMs can scan the code. Because Bitcoin transactions are private, the transaction cannot be reversed or easily traced, and the funds go directly into the scammers crypto account. See
