Gillette

Scammers have stolen more than $4.6 million from residents in Wyoming's three largest cities—Cheyenne, Gillette, and Sheridan—primarily via cryptocurrency ATMs, with $3 million lost in Gillette alone. Operating often from abroad, fraudsters target older victims using familiar tactics like impersonating authorities. Law enforcement reports highlight the untraceable nature of these machines, while education campaigns and proposed regulations seek to stem losses.
