When a Texas woman overheard scammers getting another woman to feed thousands of dollars into a Bitcoin ATM, she called police.

On Thursday, Myndi Jordan happened to stop by the Chevron gas station off of Cherry Lane in White Settlement and noticed something that prompted her to call 911.

Police said the suspect then arranged for another rideshare to take the victim to a convenience store with an ATM and, when she couldn't find a Bitcoin ATM, had the rideshare take her to the Chevron off of Cherry Lane in White Settlement.I would’ve loved to have taken him to jail," White Settlement Police Sgt. James Stewart said.

Investigators said they have been able to contact Bitcoin and arrange for the victim's already-deposited money to be sent back. He said the best thing to do is hang up and call your bank's branch directly, using the number listed on the bank's website.
