OpenAI disrupted a Cambodia-based scam network operating out of Poipet that used ChatGPT to power a wide range of fraud and human trafficking-linked operations. Working with WhatsApp, OpenAI banned a coordinated cluster of accounts that used its models to create fake personas, draft and translate messages, generate forged documents (such as passports, legal notices, stock confirmations, gambling pages), and produce ads for “chatter” jobs targeting people in India and Bangladesh with false promises of high pay, free flights, and visas. The same tooling supported internal operations of drafting announcements, tracking “employee” debts, fines, and visa issues, and documenting situations consistent with forced labor and detention. The scam followed a “ping zing sting” pattern where initial outreach was made on WhatsApp/Telegram, trust-building via romance, investment, gambling, or law-enforcement narratives, then demands for deposits or “fines,” backed by fake screenshots. OpenAI says the network likely interacted with hundreds of victims, with some losing thousands of dollars, illustrating how criminal groups now use AI to automate and scale every stage of their scams.
