please help me about bitcoin atm! SCAM or No

[arklan]

it's a scam. definitely.

i've used bitcoin ATM's in america. once, several weeks ago. the ATM did not require anything like what you are describing.

do not EVER send someone money expecting them to send you more money back. ever. as an example: did you mother call you from her death bed and ask you to send five dollars so she can send you 50? it's a scam. it's not your mother, they are lying.

SCAM. do NOT send money to this person or anyone associated with them, EVER.

hi guys
one of my friends want to send me 30000$ bitcoin from america california with easybit bitcoin atm
but he  says you should send 700$ to atm bitcoin wallet to confirm transaction!
is there anything like this in usa ?
also he says i send money to atm and it is pending for your 700$ verification from your distance wallet
he says just in usa atm machins needs this verification
is he lier or not ?

He is not just a liar but a scammer, and a serial one most probably. Do not communicate with your friend ever again. If you do not send him that amount he might give you another option, a sort of a compromise to make things smoother, just so that you will be releasing a certain amount. To avoid all further moves from this scammer better cut your communication totally. There is no Bitcoin ATM that would collect as high as $700 simply to verify.

Maybe the reason for that is because of the huge price that you are trying to sell, imagine if you are sending 30,000 dollar worth of bitcoin, the transactions fee is quite too high as well. But to the point that the transaction fee goes for about 700 dollars is quite not normal. May be there are some errors on the codes that is used to program the percentage of the payment to confirm the transaction that you are about to create. I advise that you contact the support team of that particulat bitcoin atm.

Many members here say that they have never tried a Bitcoin ATM, I am among those who have never tried it and have never seen it. Scam or not I myself can not conclude because I have not tried it myself. Bitcoin ATMs are certainly still in the process of development and there are still many weaknesses. Rather than transacting at bitcoin ATMs, I trust more in exchanges such as Binance, Huobi, Okex and others. You can also buy bitcoin at people who offer trusted bitcoin buying and selling services, with fees which are certainly cheaper than ATM bitcoins.

it looks like a scam. because as far as I know in bitcoin the atm only deducts the cost from the amount of bitcoin that is sent, not we who send some money for verification. so it is definitely a scam and fraud

using bitcoin atm is probably one of the easiest ways to trade but it is also very possible for users to experience fraud honestly at this time I have never used bitcoin atm for transactions or other purposes.
But I am very sure what you say seems really a scam because so far I have never heard of such a thing if we want to send or receive bitcoin via atm, you should not send money to that friend so you won't suffer losses.

Yes it is definitely a scam, and OP should never trust his so-called friend anymore.

And also, there is no such thing where you will send money directly to a person, then after that, you will gain money. There is no other intention to this but a clear scam.

[Shasha80]

I am very sure that such a method is clearly a scam, it's better not to follow his request. Because of the trap of sending money to
candidates victims but potential victims must pay first money for certain conditions is a characteristic of fraud that is often used
by scammers. Always be careful with that kind of thing, the logic is that if people want to give money they will not ask for conditions.
Moreover this is sending via ATM, there are no such rules in any type of ATM. Asking for $ 700 for verification requirements is a lie.

[Kprawn]

The ATM is not a scam, but I have my doubts about the friend saying that the ATM is asking for a $700 verification fee. It might be that the $700

is just the lower limit when you want to send bitcoins without some verification and that it requires more verification before you can send such a

large amount. I would rather open a online wallet for your uncle and send the bitcoins in small amounts via the wallet to a Bitcoin wallet to avoid

these limits. I also think the friend is the scammer here, ask him to take a photo of that message with his phone and then paste it here, so that we

can give you better advice. 

[DreamStage]

It is too good to be true, do not get yourself fooled in this scammy world

A normal transaction takes a penny as fee so how come that would be even 700x greater?
Think about it, you already mentioned being a scam.

I would rather get myself a new bank account just for that and exchange at some online exchanger such as Coinbase.

Never trust any one who want to sent bitcoin first from you, it scammer and give your source people want to try scam you and protect the other never been people who scam by them. I got many request from telegram channel always have the same thing like you because they can't withdraw their bitcoin wallet and ask for me to sent several bitcoin balance and them give me about 1 btc, block people like this and never trust again.

[Casdinyard]

What a pity bitcoin, always been use by those moneygrabbing people.

-------
As so many had said, it's totally scam.

Being well informed and knowledgeable in what you're into is a must so you won't be fool because the moment they sense that you're easy to believe in they'll slowly eat you up.

[imstillthebest]

where do you know this friend , only on online  ? or he is your long time friend  ?

 if you knew him online and you only knew him for quite some time then chances are that he is a lier and will only trying to scam you  . at first thought i think this is some kind of a stuck transaction and you need to pay that specific amount in  order to speed up the process but i remeber that this tactic was also popularly used by scammers these days  to scam inoscent individuals  .

I think this is a scam because you don't need to send some Bitcoin to make the transaction confirmed, only the miner fee is necessary. You should ask your friend to send Bitcoin with a regular wallet like Blockchain.

He is the one who wants to give the money so he must shoulder the fees and don't ask the receiver some money to pay because first of all your friend didn't ask that money to him/her and $700 for verification? like what? getting ID's really cost you $700? Don't get fooled.

Indeed, that person you consider as friend is only trying to deceive you and take advantage of you because you don't have enough understanding about bitcoin ATM's. If I were you, I'm going to have some research to find out if he's telling the truth or not, it seems like he's just getting the benefits he wanted from you so you should be cautious particularly these days because you can't easily say people's true intention.

[BigBos]

LOL, that's very clear of fraud. I prefer not to use a bitcoin ATM at all if the system is like that. Well, even for bitcoin trading, people are still considering fees even though it's 0.001 bitcoin. if it's your best friend, he lied to his advantage. LOL, $ 700 for 1 transaction, I suggest not doing it.

[ubercool]

If you have already sent it then am really sorry for your loss because you got scammed already. You should have understood it when the amount was 700$. That's too big of an amount to ask mate..

@omidkhs let me guess this is an online friend of yours, and you’re getting a good deal trading with him but I would like to break your heart by telling you that this is a big scam and advise you to stay away from him. Also remember that whenever you’re dealing with bitcoins the person sending bitcoins has to pay the fees, and the recipient never has to pay any kind of fees. I’m glad you used your mind and decided to take a second opinion otherwise you could have been scammed, and would have lost your $700.

[Pamadar]

Not even it is your friend such amount is huge and there's no way you can send transactions to bitcoin atm more likely it's your friend btc address and
he will benefits once you send the bitcoin. Be very careful and good thing that OP ask first, never to send anything without any knowledge regarding to
the transactions that you will going to deal with. That amount of money can be scammed out of your hands.
