Tech support scams also play a significant role, where fraudsters trick consumers into believing their computers are infected and require immediate payment for fixes.

The lies told by these scammers may differ in detail, but they share a common goal: creating a sense of urgency that compels consumers to withdraw cash from their bank accounts and deposit it into a Bitcoin ATM.
