Beware these fake websites selling subscriptions to AI assistants
Malwarebytes found fake sites selling AI assistant subscriptions that can bill cards and collect uploaded files.
Malwarebytes reported polished websites selling fake subscriptions to AI transcription tools, image generators, and assistants. The sites impersonate products including GPT-6 Astra, DaVinci Resolve, PixAI, and OpenCut, plus defunct services such as Omegle. They use genuine Google sign-in to obtain name, email, and profile details, charge about $10 a month to $2,000 a year, and sometimes request uploads of documents or recordings. Researchers believe one operator built the sites with a commercial website kit; the examined sites did not deploy malware or fake password forms.
