ChatGPT was used 'to help scammers do their thing' at Asia fraud compound
ChatGPT was used'to help scammers do their thing' at Asia fraud compound ChatGPT owner OpenAI says it actively works to identify and disrupt scam-related misuse of ChatGPT." Duncan Okindo says he was lured to Southeast Asia last year by the promise of a customer service job in Thailand. Instead, he ended up spending four months in a scam compound on the lawless Myanmar-Thai border, where he saw first-hand how criminal groups are at scale. Okindo, 26, says he was struggling to find a job as the breadwinner for his family in his native Kenya when a local recruitment agency promised him work in Bangkok. The flight was his first trip overseas. On landing, he says, he was abducted at the airport and spirited across the border, into the notorious KK Park complex, guarded by heavily armed men and fortified like it was meant for war."
