OpenAI has shut down a coordinated network of ChatGPT accounts linked to a scam operation based in Cambodia's Preah Sihanouk province. This network was involved in creating fake online personas, generating scam messages, and promoting fraudulent schemes. The operation was reportedly connected to human trafficking and multi-vector fraud. OpenAI's investigation was prompted by a lead from WhatsApp earlier in 2026, leading to the disruption of the scam syndicate. The company has shared indicators with industry peers and authorities to prevent the network's reconstitution. The full scope of the scam's impact is still being assessed, but it highlights the misuse of AI technologies for criminal activities.
