A new phone scam involves impersonators from government agencies who pressure people to use Bitcoin ATMs to "secure" their money. 

This is a lie - there are no government Bitcoin accounts and Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed. 

Don't be rushed into sending money and remember, if someone tells you to keep it a secret, it's a scam. 

Beware of these Bitcoin ATM scams!!
