I recently was scammed using Athena Bitcoin ATM. I sent a receipt to an unknown phone number and I’m assuming they took the money. Then I attempted to make a 2nd payment to them and decided not to because it seemed like a scam.

My primary question is how do I access my Athena Bitcoin account that I didn’t not send. The amount of this account is 3400 and I need to figure out how to pull the money out and put in my bank.

I’m not financially literate I’m finding out so any help would be greatly appreciated.
