Anyone aware of the CHATGPT OPENAI.COM fraud?

Have a look at

https://community.openai.com/t/my-card-was-used-for-chatgpt-subscription-payment-fraud/172663/46

Below what happened to me:

I received a 2FA from my bank on 26/04/2023 at 22:40 for 24 USD CHATGTP subscription , I did not notice the request so it was discarded, but at the same time I received a SMS from my bank, telling me that there was a potential fraud. Saw both the request and the SMS 27/04/2023 at 10 AM. I cancelled my credit card right away.

Unfortunetely, the 28/04/2023, I received a notification for 2 x 24 USD CHATGTP subscription which where authorized by my Bank the 27/04/2023 without 2FA …

I have never used ChatGTP, I guess the money does not go to OpenAI, their billing system seems completely fooled …

No, I was unaware of this until I saw this post. Looking at the openai community, I see that there are many users who report the same unwanted charges. I think it's best to open a chargeback with your bank for the respective amounts and block your card. A quick search on the internet revealed they experienced an outage in March and some data might have been exposed during this:

According to their statement, I quote: "Upon deeper investigation, we also discovered that the same bug may have caused the unintentional visibility of payment-related information of 1.2% of the ChatGPT Plus subscribers who were active during a specific nine-hour window."

I hope you'll get to the bottom of this and I'm sorry this has happened to you.
