<p>Machines that exchange cash for virtual currency — commonly known as crypto kiosks or “crypto ATMs” — are rapidly appearing in supermarkets, convenience stores, gas stations and other everyday locations across the country. </p><p>Unfortunately, these ATM look-alikes have become a prime vehicle for scams, often targeting older adults and costing Virginians thousands of dollars. </p><p>To combat this growing threat, AARP is advocating for state laws that regulate crypto kiosks and strengthen consumer protections. Legislation establishing a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency kiosks passed the Virginia Senate unanimously, and an identical bill passed the House of Delegates with strong bipartisan support. Join us for an important discussion on how AARP Virginia is leading the fight to protect consumers from crypto kiosk scams. </p><p>This webinar will be led by State Advocacy Director Jared Calfee, and will feature Delegate Michelle Maldonado to talk about her work on this in the General Assembly. Learn what this legislation means, how these scams work and what steps Virginians can take to protect themselves and their loved ones.</p>
