🚨73-Year-Old Woman in the U.S. Scammed Out of $41K via Bitcoin ATM — But There’s a Twist…

A scammer duped a 73-year-old woman into sending over $41,000 through a Bitcoin ATM — but the story didn’t end there.

Thanks to Ohio’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), authorities followed the digital trail, froze the funds, and successfully recovered $35,000.

Using a mix of cybercrime tools, forensic tech, and court orders, experts shut down the scam’s success.

In response, local police are now working even more closely with state agencies to tackle these rising crypto frauds.

Scammers are getting more sophisticated — from fake tech support calls to pop-ups pushing people to use crypto ATMs under pressure.

And this case? Just the beginning.

Authorities emphasize this: Early reporting can make all the difference.
