Nowadays ChatGPT is dominant everywhere. Chat GPT is an artificial intelligence tool developed by OpenAI company. Any technology has advantages as well as disadvantages. Many scams are also done on the internet by misusing the ChatGPT tool. In today's post we are going to know about 5 ChatGPT Scams so that you can protect yourself online.
ChatGPT Scam 1) Phishing Scam
While speaking this word 'Phishing' sounds similar to the word 'Fishing'. For example, while fishing, you put a hook in the water to catch a fish. In exactly the same way, online scammers send you links or messages to trap you. When you click on these unknown links or messages, your sensitive information like login credentials and passwords go to the scammers.
Scammers use ChatGPT to create such messages that appear to be genuine but send malicious links along with them. If you receive any message or email about which you have no knowledge, check whether it is authentic or not before clicking on it.
ChatGPT Scam 2) Fake Customer Support
This scam especially happens while shopping online. Scammers pretend to be a customer support executive. They use smart tools like ChatGPT to make sure what they say is absolutely true. They will ask for your sensitive information regarding technical issues, account problems and to refund the money.
Often, be it a bank or a big e-commerce company, they do not ask for all the information through message. They always use official channels like official email. Still, to keep yourself safe, ask the executive what his identity is. If he doesn't tell, then stay away from that chat.
ChatGPT Scam3) Misleading Investment Advice
ChatGPT is such a smart tool that scammers can use to create such enticing messages that you will be forced to read and take investment advice. Scammers create free Telegram, WhatsApp channels and send investment advisory messages created using ChatGPT.
