A user attempted to develop an automatic upvoting bot for pump.fun and asked ChatGPT for help, but ended up falling victim to an online scam. They followed the code guidance provided by ChatGPT and visited a recommended Solana API website. Unfortunately, this website was a scam, resulting in users losing approximately $2,500.
The user later realized that part of the code required submitting the private key through the API, and they had used their main Solana wallet without reviewing the code. Upon discovering their mistake, the user contacted the community to help block the @solana website and remove related information from the @OpenAI platform.
They hope to track down the scammer and bring them to justice. A Scam Sniffer investigation found a malicious code repository designed to steal private keys through AI-generated code. The user’s private key was sent directly to the phishing website in the HTTP request body. SlowMist founder Yu Xian commented on the unsafe practices and lack of content on this malicious code website, urging users to never blindly use AI-generated code, review code carefully, keep private keys offline, and only use trusted sources.
In summary, a user fell victim to an online scam while attempting to develop an automatic upvoting bot for pump.fun. The scam led to users losing money, and the community is now trying to help block the malicious website and bring the scammers to justice.
