AI Çip Borsası Scam: Fake Crypto Exchange and Romance Fraud

A platform with a Chinese name, which can be rendered in Turkish as "AI Çip Borsası" (AI Chip Exchange), turns the global interest in artificial intelligence chips into the front of a crypto exchange. In the account on record, a person who first built an emotional relationship with the user then taught them step by step how to download the app and said that profits were certain.
💬 From the Relationship to the App
In schemes of this kind, the acquaintance begins on a social media or dating app. Once trust is built, the other side talks about their own "profits" and has the user download the platform from a link that is not found in the official app stores. After the first deposit, profit is shown on the screen and larger amounts are requested; when a withdrawal is requested, new payments such as tax, collateral or account verification come up.
🧠 Why Is the "AI Chip" Theme Used?
The shares of companies that make AI chips have been near the top of the news agenda in recent years. By carrying this agenda into its name, the platform gives the user the feeling of "getting into the industry of the future early". Yet the app in question has no connection with any chip manufacturer or with a real exchange. These schemes are assessed under the qualified fraud provisions of Article 158/1-f of the Turkish Penal Code.
