Hi r/ChatGPT,
I’m a final-year student researching online scam detection. Instead of only analyzing message content, I’m studying how scammers behave across conversations (trust-building, escalation, pressure tactics, persistence, etc.).
To test this, I built a Telegram bot that acts as a chatbot honeypot and responds to scam-style conversations automatically.
Bot: u/Harry_tech_bot
I’m looking for people to test it by pretending to be a scammer and messaging it naturally for a few minutes.
Examples:
- Package fee scam
- Tech support scam
- Investment scam
- Prize scam
- Wrong number opener
- Fake job offer
The goal is to collect behavioral interaction data for academic research and improve early scam detection systems.
No personal information is required — only the conversation flow is analyzed.
Would also love feedback on:
- how realistic the bot feels
- where it breaks
- how it could be improved
