According to a blog post published on 20 February, at least three BingChatGPT tokens appear to be part of honeypot schemes, which are smart contracts that trick a user into transferring Ethereum [ETH], which the attacker then traps and retrieves.
Moreover, PeckShield confirmed that at least two of the identified tokens have already lost nearly 100% of their value. Additionally, a third token lost 65%. The creators of a pump & dump scheme typically orchestrate a campaign of misleading statements and hype to persuade investors to purchase tokens; the investors then secretly sell their stake in the scheme as its prices go up.
Deployer 0xb583, a bad actor behind the tokens, created dozens of tokens using a pump and dump scheme, mentioned PeckShield.
It is being speculated that the scammers could attempt to capitalize on a recent announcement of OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology being integrated into Bing, Microsoft’s Edge web browser. The token’s name could be an attempt to dupe victims into thinking they are connected to Microsoft. Thus, they would be under the assumption that they were capitalizing on the hype surrounding AI chatbots.
