PANews reported on May 23 that the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) released data showing that in 2025, IC3 received over 13,400 complaints about the use of cryptocurrency self-service terminals, resulting in losses exceeding $388 million. Compared to 2024, the number of complaints increased by 23%, and the amount of loss increased by 58%. More than half of the complaints involved individuals over the age of 50, with losses exceeding $302 million. Cryptocurrency self-service terminals are ATM-like devices or electronic terminals that allow users to exchange cash and cryptocurrency. Criminals may lure victims into sending money through cryptocurrency self-service terminals. In typical cryptocurrency self-service terminal complaints received by IC3, criminals provide individuals with detailed instructions, including how to withdraw money from a bank, how to locate the self-service terminal, and how to use it to deposit and send money. IC3 cautions that the statistics represent fraud complaints involving the use of cryptocurrency ATMs, and the overall losses are not necessarily entirely caused by cryptocurrency ATMs alone.
