Recently, the AI firm DeepSeek released a notice, urging users to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes. In recent times, certain criminals have been impersonating official representatives or staff members of DeepSeek, carrying out fraud under the pretext of 'computing power leasing' and 'equity financing.' They have gone as far as to forge employee badges and licenses, thereby seriously infringing upon users' rights and tarnishing the company's reputation.

DeepSeek clarifies that it has never required users to make payments to personal or non-official accounts. Any private transfer of funds should be regarded as fraudulent. Activities conducted in the name of the company without authorization are illegal, and legal measures will be pursued against those involved.

It is advisable for users to acquire information solely through the official website and verified official accounts. Both the official website and the App are provided free of charge. For API call services, recharging is necessary through the official open platform, with payments being made to the account of 'Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Fundamental Technology Research Co., Ltd.' Users are strongly encouraged to promptly reach out to official authorities for verification or report any suspicious activities to the public security authorities.
