The Pilot Travel Center in Muddy Creek Township was scammed into depositing $5,000 into separate cryptocurrency kiosks as payment for a bogus Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspection, state police said in a news release Monday.

Police said $2,000 was recovered during the investigation.
