A recent FTC complaint highlights an alleged job scam involving 'OpenAi-etc,' which reportedly affected over 6,000 individuals in Bangladesh. Complainants, varied in age, claimed financial losses due to the scam, which effectively vanished with their investments. OpenAI is aware of the situation but has not confirmed prior knowledge of the scam or future actions. Meanwhile, Telegram, the messaging platform used for communications in these scams, stated its commitment to monitoring such fraudulent activities using advanced AI tools to combat them.
"Telegram actively moderates harmful content on its platform, including scams; moderators with custom AI tools monitor public parts of the platform to remove millions of harmful pieces of content."
"Over 6,000 people in Bangladesh were potentially impacted by the OpenAi-etc job scam. Ages ranged from teenagers to people in their fifties, across multiple cities."
