Archive item — written before sources were shown.
OpenAI banned a ChatGPT account network tied to Cambodia-based scam compounds running fake dating, investment, and law-enforcement-impersonation fraud.
OpenAI said it banned a coordinated network of accounts, likely based near Poipet, Cambodia, that used ChatGPT to build fake dating personas, translate scam messages, generate promotional content, and impersonate law firms and the FBI in recovery scams. OpenAI began investigating after a tip from WhatsApp and shared threat signals with industry partners and authorities.
