DUNLAP, Tenn. — The Dunlap Police Department (DPD) is warning locals about a bitcoin scam.

They say they had a report of a Bitcoin scam of individuals pretending to be a deputy from the Hamilton County Sheriff Office.

They are reminding locals that they will never ask for Cash App money or Bitcoin.

They share a local business has a bitcoin transfer machine and that these are not ATMs. These machines are not currently illegal, but are used to exchange your money into cryptocurrency.
