To solve the problem, he said, I had to deposit $1,500 into a supermarket’s Bitcoin ATM. I was afraid of revealing something – the man on the phone had so persistently stressed the need for secrecy. I then drove to the supermarket in another area and asked the clerk where I could find the Bitcoin ATM. He said he needed another $6,000 to be deposited into the Bitcoin ATM at the same location. He told me it was a scam and the money was gone – no one would issue a refund.
