  I thought I should share my experience. Following some brokers on Instagram, I end up losing my saving money and profits. With the help of ' wikihelpdesks on G-mail address ' I was able to retrieve my losses.

  ****** Depot refused a full refund of a recent deposit made to an account through one of theirs Bitcoin Depot ATMs. This deposit was made under duress as a result of a sophisticated scam involving psychological manipulation and coercion.On 08/15/2024, the individual, who made the deposit, was subjected to an elaborate scheme by scammers who used psychological engineering techniques to compel them into transferring funds. The scammers strategically utilized your Bitcoin Depot ATM as a means to facilitate their fraudulent activities, thereby implicating your system in this criminal act.Given the severity of the situation, which has involved significant emotional distress and financial loss, I have reported the incident to the local authorities. The police are currently investigating the matter as a case of fraud. We have substantial evidence, including communication records and witness statements, to support our claim.In light of these circumstances, we requested an immediate refund of the full amount deposited. The funds were transferred under fraudulent pretenses, and as such, we believe we are entitled to a refund under the principles of equitable relief and restitution.

  Subject: Continued Request for Refund and Further Documentation of the Transaction

  Dear Consumer Protection Manager,

  Thank you for your most recent response dated September 4, 2024. I would like to again emphasize that I am seeking a full refund for the deposit made at a Bitcoin Depot ATM on August 15, 2024. While I understand your position, I must stress that this transaction was made under duress as a result of a highly sophisticated scam involving coercion and psychological manipulation, which directly utilized your ATM to facilitate the fraud. This issue is still under investigation by local law enforcement.
  

  I respectfully disagree with your assertion that Bitcoin Depot has no record of this transaction. I have already provided documentation of my communication efforts and proof of the transaction, which I insist be reviewed in greater detail. The fact that I may not have a formal account within your internal system does not negate the occurrence of the deposit in question or the impact of the scam.
  

  Given the circumstances, I once again request that Bitcoin Depot provide a full refund of the funds that were transferred under fraudulent conditions. It is imperative that Bitcoin Depot review its policies to ensure that vulnerable consumers are protected from such scams when using your services.
  

  Should you require additional documentation or evidence, I would be more than happy to provide anything necessary to move this process forward. Furthermore, I expect Bitcoin Depot to collaborate fully with law enforcement in their investigation.
  

  I insist that Bitcoin Depot reconsider its position and resolve this matter promptly by issuing a full refund for the deposit. Please confirm the next steps to ensure this issue is resolved.
  

  Thank you for your continued attention to this matter.
  

  Sincerely,

  *************************

  through. Commencing on or around 6th of September,2023, I fell victim to a multi-layered scam operation orchestrated by Tech Support Scam (the Fraudsters),with the design, development, manufacturing, promoting, marketing, distributing, labelling, and/or sale of illegal and outright fraudulent investment services, all of which aim at contributing to the goal of robbing and defrauding clients through a predetermined cycle of client losses to gains in the equivalent of ****** USD which was transferred from my wallet utilising your services. I do not have a proclivity to blame others for my downfalls, however, I cannot help but link this enormous loss with the trust I had instilled in your institution which is regulated.

  I followed two individuals that helped me trade through *******. ******* then accused us of doing something wrong which as far as I know we did not do anything wrong. And said I had to pay them $10,000. Well, I paid the $10,000 to withdraw my money from their accountand then it was another $4000 then it was another $2700. Then they could not use my withdraw address because it was not binded. Then they sent me to a risk management who told me I had to pay $3500. Well, I sent Them $3510 which they kept and then told me I had to send another $3500. Now they say I need to send them another $6000 to get my money out.

  Today on 7/9/2024 I used a bitcoin depot atm to purchase bitcoin and send it to my wallet on coinbase. I usually do this on the exchange but needed to use cash to make the purchase at this time. I went to the machine and followed the prompts to make an account. It walked me through everything and stated there was a $3.00 service fee. I put $2300 in the machine to purchase that amount of bitcoin. When I received a text that the transaction was completed, I checked my coinbase wallet and saw that only $1621 was deposited, I called the phone number and the person told me that their fees are in their terms or service.. No where on the machine, near the machine, or during the sign up for an account or during the transaction does it inform you that they will charge 17-50% of your transaction. I only was able to read this once the employee emailed it to me AFTER the transaction was completed and they stole $680 from me. This is FAR more than a simple network or service that is a normal charge by exchanges. This is unacceptable practice for any business to do. The consumer should be advised of this BEFORE using the machine and be able to make the decision after knowing it. Bitcoin Depot does not take responsibility for this. Consumers have the right to know what they are purchasing along with associated fees PRIOR to making the purchase. Waiting until someone complains and sending the policy after the fact is ridiculous.

  I am rejecting this response because: I was at the kiosk and there most certainly was NOT a notice discussing fees associated with the purchase. I was in fact sending it to my own bitcoin wallet. There was NOT a page that displayed the fees and what the total amount of bitcoin I would receive  vs the amount of cash entered. If I had seen the ridiculous fee, I would have cancelled the transaction.  It ONLY said there was a $3.00 service fee and nothing more. The receipts also say only the amount of cash put into the kiosk, and the $3.00 service fee. Several other folks have made the same exact complaint as I have, as I researched it after speaking to the customer service person for **********************. No reasonable person would agree to deposit $2300 in cash knowing they will only receive $1680 worth of bitcoin to their wallet. 
  
  Sincerely,

  I am rejecting this response because: This "business" has an F rating on BBB, horrible trust pilot reviews, and pending lawsuits. As stated by BBB, the pattern of complaints are all the same: there is NO disclosure on the *** PRIOR to purchasing bitcoin regarding the massive 20-28% fee they charge. No reasonable person would ever accept a fee like that, especially for large transactions. All complaints report only finding out about it when the funds that reach their wallet are drastically reduced from the amount they purchased. This is fraud at best, theft at worst. Your company is despicable, and I'm willing to bet that this disgusting practice will catch up with you eventually and hopefully you'll be shut down for good along with paying restitution. 
  
  Sincerely,

  I used a bitcoin atm owned by bitcoin depot. After the first use I got an email that said if I sent $150 I get $15 in free bitcoin sent to my wallet within 48 hours of redeeming the promotion. I went back in I sent $210. There are excessive fees that are not listed on the receipt provided by the atm or on a notice anywhere. You find out how much they take when the bitcoin deposit gets to your wallet. They took $56 of the $210. The receipt says $3.00. I redeemed the promo and after 48 hours still hadnt seen the Bitcoin. I kinda spaced it out until the 7th day I reached out. Multiple reps said it takes 10 business days. That is not what the promotion says and if I would have known it took 10 days I most likely would have just used cash app. I brought to their attention what the email said snd sent it to them. They immediately said it was being escalated to a manager and they would resolve it. Its been 9 days now they ignore me and Ive seen nothing. This is a running promotion they are supposedly running so you would think they have a way to send $15 in bitcoin plus I provided the wallet address at redemption they needed it again. They clearly have no process to send bitcoin. It was false advertising in order to get people to use their atms, its the bait and switch. Also the fake promotions were sent via email which means they commited wire fraud. This has been reported to regulatory agencies and I want to post this anywhere I can to warn future victims
