🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: DON'T FALL FOR THE SCAM! 🚨

Scammers are getting more convincing, often pretending to be law enforcement officers or other government officials.

They may tell you:

🚔 You missed jury duty and have a warrant for your arrest.
⚖️ You must pay a fine immediately to avoid going to jail.
📞 Your child or grandchild is in jail and needs bail money.
💰 You need to deposit money into a Bitcoin ATM to resolve the situation.

REMEMBER: Law enforcement will NEVER call you and demand payment over the phone to avoid arrest or clear a warrant. They will NEVER require payment through Bitcoin, gift cards, or other unusual payment methods.

⚠️ ALREADY BEEN SCAMMED? ACT QUICKLY!

A new Mississippi law (House Bill 1625) provides refund protections for certain victims of Bitcoin ATM scams.

If you've been scammed:

✅ Contact your local police department immediately.
✅ Notify the Bitcoin ATM company.
✅ Save all receipts and transaction information.

Some victims may qualify for a refund if they report the fraud to both the Bitcoin ATM operator and law enforcement or another government entity within 90 days of the qualifying transaction. Eligibility requirements apply.

❤️ PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION! Talk to your parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors. One conversation could save someone thousands of dollars.

When in doubt, HANG UP. VERIFY. REPORT.
