Fraudster Uses ChatGPT to Deceive Pakistani Student in Visa Scam

October 15, 2026 • 1 hour ago •

ISLAMABAD: A suspect has been accused of defrauding Laiba Ejaz in a fraudulent scheme involving fake US university admissions and student visas, allegedly utilizing ChatGPT to craft convincing communications.

The incident, which has raised alarms about the intersection of technology and fraud, reportedly took place earlier this year. Laiba Ejaz, a hopeful student, fell victim to the scam after receiving what appeared to be legitimate correspondence regarding her admission and visa application. Authorities have stated that the suspect used AI-generated text to manipulate and mislead the victim.

This case highlights the growing concerns surrounding the use of artificial intelligence in fraudulent activities, particularly as more individuals seek educational opportunities abroad. Experts warn that such scams could undermine trust in legitimate educational institutions and complicate the visa application process for genuine students.

Investigations are currently underway, with law enforcement agencies working to track down the suspect and prevent further incidents. Officials are urging students to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of any communications related to university admissions and visa applications.
