Spanish police arrested six individuals allegedly behind a €19M ($20.9M) global investment scam powered by AI.

Incident 15892 Report
Purportedly AI-Powered 007TG Platform Reportedly Used by Scam Networks Linked to $75 Million in Proceeds

2024-04-01

007TG was a software suite reportedly used by scam compounds to run fraud across social media, using AI-assisted messaging and translation to help operators manage targets while concealing their identities. Wallet records linked the platform to at least four known scam networks that collectively received at least $75 million, though the evidence does not show how much was directly attributable to 007TG.
