Essex DA Paul Tucker has credited local officers with helping to retrieve approximately $20,000 lost in these types of scams. These scams involve individuals convincing them to send over $11,000 using a Bitcoin Depot ATM in Danvers, and demands that money "owed" be paid back with Bitcoin, gift cards, and other non-traditional payments. In response to these scams, Danvers and Peabody have been prompted to restrict or ban these ATMs. The Essex DA's Office has urged residents to be wary of anyone offering money via cryptocurrency.
