It says:

If someone has asked or forced you to use this bitcoin ATM to send them cash - please STOP.
This is a scam and your money will be lost.

No official authority will ask you to pay through a bitcoin ATM. This includes, IRS, Police, SSN Department, immigration, Utility, or Collections company

It goes ahead listing examples such as sweetheart scams, oil rig equipment, Craigslist deals, etc.

And the final red line:

Crypto transfers are irreversible. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Sort:  

Oil rig equipment? I'm interested what kind of great scam that is :D

Lol, I have no idea. I know there are refineries around here, but it seemed oddly specific.

Oh that makes sense now. I was thinking they were referring to anyone to include private individuals that just so happened to have a preference for payment. I think must criminals with half a brain cell would probably use something like Monero anyway.

XMR is not mainstream enough to fool normies with.
