AARP West Virginia

Working alongside law enforcement and policymakers, AARP has helped expose the scale of fraud linked to crypto kiosks while leading the push for stronger safeguards. Those efforts have translated into action: Three states — Indiana, Tennessee and Minnesota — have banned the machines, while 27 other states — including West Virginia — have enacted laws to regulate them. Momentum is also building in states that have not yet passed laws, as well as in Congress.

As a major operator files for bankruptcy, new laws shaped by AARP are exposing the widespread scamming tied to these machines

Representatives from AARP are here tonight as we recognize April as Fraud Prevention Month. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimated in a 2025 report to Congress that, when accounting for underreporting, as much as $195.9 billion was stolen from Americans via financial fraud in 2024 alone. Of that, as much as $81.5 billion was stolen from older adults. Stay informed, recognize the red flags and stay safe against fraud and identity theft.
