Editorial summary
FTC consumer alert describing the agency's sweep against AI-powered scams — bogus chatbot lawyers, AI-written fake review services and "guaranteed-earnings" AI store schemes. Tells consumers how to spot the pattern and report fraud to ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
Why this matters
The FTC publishes its consumer alerts in plain language because it wants victims to actually recognise a scam before they hand over money. This alert describes the agency's sweep against AI-powered frauds — bogus chatbot lawyers, AI-written fake review services, and guaranteed-earnings AI store schemes. The pattern it documents is what the agency's investigators saw across real cases, so if something you are considering matches the description, you are almost certainly looking at the same scam. The alert also tells you exactly where to file a report, which is the step most people skip and the one that funds future enforcement.
