Google has initiated legal action against a Chinese group known as Outsider Enterprise, which is accused of conducting an extensive AI-driven scam campaign. The company is collaborating with law enforcement and mobile carriers to combat these activities. According to the legal filing, Outsider Enterprise operates on Telegram, offering phishing services to individuals lacking technical expertise. The group allegedly provided guidance on using Google's Gemini AI to create fraudulent websites mimicking those of Google, YouTube, and government entities such as New York’s E-ZPass, with nearly 300 scam templates available. Google reports that the scams linked to Outsider Enterprise resulted in over 2.5 million text messages sent to Android users, with approximately 55,000 messages sent in a two-week period last month. The company has identified 9,000 fake websites and 1 million URLs associated with this scam network.
