OpenAI Closes ChatGPT Accounts Belonging to Scam Groups

OpenAI has announced the termination of numerous ChatGPT accounts that criminal groups used to write scam messages and trick money out of victims worldwide.

How they use AI for scams:
• Creating fake dating profiles and fake “investment experts”
• Translating messages into multiple languages and sending them via WhatsApp and Telegram
• Impersonating law enforcement agents to intimidate victims into paying “fines”
• Generating AI images such as fake documents and trading screens
• Persuading victims to invest in non-existent crypto and gold schemes

[Insight: If a stranger promises high returns or intimidates you into urgently transferring money — that is a sign of a scam. Do not transfer money, and do not send photos of your ID card.]
