☠️ ChatGPT helped a San Jose woman realize she had fallen victim to a major crypto scam — after nearly a year of chatting with a “romantic” online acquaintance, she trusted him enough to invest about $1 000 000 into nonexistent crypto opportunities.

That warning stopped her just in time: she cut off contact, and police later confirmed that her money had been transferred overseas by the scammers.
