Scammers Deploy Fake Google Coin Chatbot
|
6.1
Malwarebytes researchers uncovered a live 'Google Coin' presale website that used a chatbot impersonating Google's Gemini AI to solicit irreversible cryptocurrency payments. The site showed fake progress counters, provided specific return projections (for example, 100 tokens at $3.95 allegedly becoming more than $2,700), and instructed visitors to send Bitcoin; Google has no such cryptocurrency, underscoring AI-enabled brand-impersonation fraud risks.
