A WhatsApp message pops up. But instead of offers for a free credit card or instant home loan, this one promises discounted AI credits for tools such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude.“Hey, are you willing to buy AWS credits? I have $10,000 worth of credits, can give it for $2,000-3,000,” read one message reviewed by ET. Another said, “Willing to sell Azure credits, want to buy?”Such messages, offering AI credits that startups and builders use to access expensive compute power and developer tools, are increasingly appearing across developer WhatsApp groups and Reddit threads.ETtech
