Forest Lake Minnesota is one of several Minnesota cities battling with what to do about Crypto-ATMs. They are a common tool used by scammers to steal money from their victims, which makes it difficult for law enforcement to track where the money/crypto goes.
Kwik Trip is everywhere in our region, with nearly 900 stores spread around Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, and South Dakota. But this type of scam can happen at any gas station.
Emails and text messages continue to be common ways scammers are attempting to steal your information and money. Alicia Mages from Tri County Crime Stoppers indicates the amount of phishing activity has picked up in Central Minnesota.
