A scam targeting Texans has led to losses of $56 million, prompting lawmakers to call for regulation of crypto kiosks.

In one instance, a 72-year-old woman was nearly scammed out of $5,000. She had been sent fake court documents and was coached by a voice on her phone to feed the money into a crypto kiosk at a grocery store.

The woman became suspicious when she saw the machine, realizing it was a Bitcoin machine. Further details of this incident and the broader scam are available from news outlets.
