CFTC Hoa Kỳ cảnh báo về các vụ lừa đảo máy ATM tiền điện tử, báo cáo tổn thất hơn 388 triệu USD vào năm 2025

The Huoxing Finance report, according to a notice from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), scammers are frequently impersonating government agencies, banks, investment firms, utility companies, or technical support personnel to deceive victims into transferring funds via cryptocurrency ATMs, gift cards, unfamiliar apps, or courier services, exploiting the irreversible nature of transactions and the difficulty in tracing wallet addresses to carry out fraud. Data from the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) shows that in 2025, reported losses from scams involving cryptocurrency ATMs exceeded $388 million, a 58% increase from the previous year; actual losses may be even higher due to underreporting. The CFTC states that legitimate government agencies, financial institutions, and businesses will never require users to transfer assets via cryptocurrency ATMs, gift cards, or courier services; if someone pressures you to act under the pretext of “an urgent risk to your account or identity,” or demands secrecy, remote device access, or transfers to a specified wallet address or QR code, these are high-risk indicators. Regulatory authorities advise users to halt transactions, independently verify information through official channels, and promptly report suspicious scams to the CFTC or FBI IC3.
