Beware of ChatGPT Scams and Malware Infiltrating App Stores

Scam apps pretending to offer access to OpenAI's chatbot service ChatGPT through free trials that eventually start charging subscription fees are infiltrating Google Play and Apple's App Store. These apps, known as fleeceware, hook victims into paying a regular weekly or monthly fee and are difficult to stamp out. Users may encounter them by searching in Google Play and the App Store. The apps take advantage of people who have heard about this new technology but don't have much additional context for how to try it themselves.
