In Texas, cryptocurrency ATMs have been used to scam people out of money. One such incident involved a 72-year-old woman who was threatened with arrest if she didn't put $5,000 into a crypto kiosk. The threat came in the form of fabricated court documents supposedly sent by the Travis County Sheriff's Office.

The total amount scammed from Texans last year is reported to be $56 million. Lawmakers are now seeking regulation of crypto kiosks.

Further details about these scams and the push for regulation can be found through the San Antonio Current.
