TYLER — The Better Business Bureau, The Secret Service, and the FBI team up at a news conference in Tyler on the dangers of cryptocurrency scams. The BBB’s Mechele Mills notes that cryptocurrency operates completely on the Internet and there’s no way “to reverse charges or things like that.” Mills says one reason for the danger is that cryptocurrency is “trendy,” with people “wanting a piece of the action in a way.” She tells us cryptocurrency is being used in employment and romance scams, scammers are using the new Bitcoin ATMs to get money, and they’re using cryptocurrency in the ways they normally perpetrate. Mills says it’s very important to be as knowledgeable as you can and not to react emotionally. <\/p>\n
