Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes’ office has helped 35 victims of cryptocurrency ATM scams secure full refunds totaling $171,332, according to ChainCatcher. The refunded money came from transactions that victims were induced to make through fraud, and the reimbursements covered all fees tied to those transactions. Under Arizona law, mandatory full refunds are available only to new customers who have used a given ATM operator for fewer than 10 days. Victims must also contact the operator and either law enforcement or the attorney general’s office within 30 days of the transaction date, and they must submit an official report confirming that the transaction was fraud-induced. FBI data cited in the report shows that Arizona recorded 460 complaints involving cryptocurrency kiosks in 2025, with adjusted losses of $14.53 million. Nationwide, the total reached 13,460 complaints, with adjusted losses of more than $388.98 million. Of that amount, people aged 50 and older accounted for more than $302 million in losses.
