200,000 fake AI ‘victims’ deployed to scam bait online fraudsters
Apate’s 200,000 fake AI ‘victims’ are so good at scam baiting, the company has a monthly KPI for how many F-bombs scammers drop at the infuriating bots.
Australian tech firm Apate deploys a vast array of AI-bot characters worldwide that play the role of gullible scam victims to waste millions of hours of con artists’ time each month.
Hilariously, one of the company’s monthly performance metrics is how many times frustrated scammers swear at the idiot ‘victims’ who are playing dumb and stringing them along.
“I think we’re the only company in the world that is actually keeping as part of their KPIs the number of F-words that scammers are dropping at them,” Apate founder Dali Kaafar tells Magazine with a chuckle.
