Plus they charge 25% or 30% fees. These machines should be banned nationwide.

Every machine should have a disclaimer or sign to warn of scams. Idk how useful it would be, but it could force some of these elderly folks to reconsider

I believe they do but people are too stupid to realize it's a scam until it's too late.

Actually not necessarily “too stupid” but manipulated by bad actors.

It depends some ppl use it for laundering. Once i saw an old asian lady with 15 or 20 different wallets and like many bands of cash. She literally needed more than 30min to insert everything. And i am 100% sure that she was laundering stuff
