 Facebook Live Boost: 'Who will become a millionaire?', this is how you can ask ChatGPT to find out if it is a scam

The styles of online fraud (scam) are becoming more complex and impossible to identify day by day. Moreover, social media platforms are also becoming addicted to such fraud for their income.

A vivid example of this is Facebook. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has revealed that it earned $16 billion from fraudulent and fraudulent advertising in 2024. After Facebook made scams a means of income, users have become more security challenged. The incidents of boosting scam posts (advertising) on ​​Facebook and creating verified pages to commit fraud are now becoming commonplace.

At such a time, the famous cybersecurity company Malwarebytes has collaborated with ChatGPT to bring an integrated security service within the AI ​​chatbot.

This is the world's first cybersecurity service available directly within ChatGPT. This integration allows users to instantly check suspicious links, phone numbers, and emails without leaving the chat. The service is based on Malwarebytes’ decades-old ‘Threat Intelligence’ database.

Which contains a huge database of phishing scams, malware, and malicious domains. It instantly analyzes the reputation, ownership details, and risk level of the links.

How to use it?

This feature is very easy to use and does not require a separate Malwarebytes account or fee. First, you need to go to your ChatGPT app or browser. (Here we have used a computer’s web browser.)

First of all, ChatGPT and Malwarebytes need to be linked to each other. For this, open ChatGPT and log in to it. Now click on your profile icon in the bottom left corner and go to Settings.

Click on the Apps option under ChatGPT’s Settings.

After going to Apps, select the option called Explore apps.

Now here you will be able to see various apps that can be linked to ChatGPT. Type Malwarebytes in the search box above it and click on the Malwarebytes app that appears below.

Click Connect to connect Malwarebytes to ChatGPT.

Once connected in this way, Malwarebytes will be available on your ChatGPT forever.

After doing this, if you find any message or email suspicious, you can ask @Malwarebytes, Malwarebytes, is this a scam? on ChatGPT. You can paste the suspicious message or upload a screenshot of it.

Malwarebytes studies and analyzes the language used in the message, the sender's details, and the links. According to Malwarebytes, it immediately identifies and warns about new domains registered less than 30 days ago, redirecting links, and phone numbers used in international scam operations.

If any content does not seem safe, Malwarebytes also gives the user practical suggestions such as 'block', 'do not reply' or 'contact only through official channels'.

Now let's get back to our original question and try to determine whether a boosted post on Facebook Live is a scam or not. There is a person speaking, an ad-like content in the background, and a comment from the live page is pinned in the comment box of the post. This includes a link.

First, we ask ChatGPT, '@Malwarebytes is this a scam?'

With the help of Malwarebytes, ChatGPT analyzes the screenshot and shows that it is 99 percent likely to be a scam, and also tells us how such a scam works and how you can protect yourself.

Apart from this, we also have another basis to check whether this Facebook Live post is a scam or not, which is the link provided in the comment box. Now let's ask ChatGPT again as before, including the link.

With the help of Malwarebytes, ChatGPT analyzed the link provided by ChatGPT and answered that even though the link was not found in the threat database, such links are used by scammers and have a high probability of being suspicious and scamming.

Another interesting aspect of this feature is 'two-way reporting'. This means that if you find any new type of scam, you can report it directly by clicking the Report as Suspicious button within ChatGPT.

As we have seen above, when asking whether a link is a scam or not, Malwarebytes' threat intelligence report is also included. You can click Report as Suspicious as shown in the screenshot below.

This helps to strengthen the company's database and protect other users from such fraud. This new feature is available for free on ChatGPT. It is a 'real-time' security assistant that warns you before you click or send money.
