- Anthropic and other researchers documented how dating scam apps used LLM-generated replies from Claude and other models to catfish thousands of people.
- Security researcher Matthew "Zigula" Gore-Kormanik uncovered the operation while analyzing a fraudulent dating app called Dora, one of the apps tied to the scam network.
Why it matters: The investigation surfaces thousands of victim-level cases of LLM-driven romance fraud, a consumer-scale harm that tends to get overshadowed by geopolitical abuse of the same models and puts pressure on dating apps and model developers alike to detect automated conversational scams.
