Ah, the wonders of technology—used treacherously. In a disheartening scam, an unsuspecting widow lost $281,000 to criminals exploiting crypto ATMs. Yes, these digital spin doctors persuaded her to cart $13,000 in cash, pouring it into the crypto abyss with the promise of returns.
These bandits, and the hole-ridden system that enables them, are a cautionary tale for the rest of us navigating this brave new digital world. Beware of the allure of technological utopias; they often come with lurking sharks instead of catfish.
