Nevadans are falling victim to cryptocurrency scams, with millions lost annually, and bitcoin ATMs contributing to the issue.

The FTC reported $247 million in losses and 11,000 complaints in 2021, with seniors over 60 being the most affected. Nevada has 447 bitcoin ATMs, with no specific consumer protection laws in place. AARP Nevada urges lawmakers to establish regulations to safeguard citizens from these scams.
