Beware of www.retune.so – “The Missing Front end to ChatGPT3”

It seems that I may have been scammed. I asked if retune could extract data about symbols on a drawing, but it was not able to do so. Instead, it offered to create a tool for me. In order to start with retune, I had to provide it with an OpenAI API key. The conversation seemed too good to be true and the email address provided, which was example@example.com, raised suspicions. But one strange thing was it said it might take a couple of days to finish my "project". After the email address bounced, I was given another email address, multiple times, but it was redacted every time. I checked my OpenAI API key and it had not been accessed. I believe that the company is gathering API keys to exploit them in some way, nothing else makes any sense. The website also lacked customer service links or an "about" page, making it impossible to get any assistance or clarification. I have cancelled my API key and would advise others to be cautious, as it seems like a scam reminiscent of the early days of cryptocurrency where unscrupulous individuals take advantage of uncertainty and lack of knowledge.
