Pascual D. Diago is a professor in the Department of Teaching of Mathematics at the University of Valencia in Spain tells: "In October 2025, I wrote to someone named Henry Jackson, who had sent the article invitation from the Clinical Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, well outside my work in mathematics education in August (despite the fact that no such person is listed on the journal’s website). I sent a manuscript generated entirely by ChatGPT. On November 12 a certain Susan Lee (also not listed on the journal’s website) demanded an immediate response within 24 hours to the review comments on the submitted paper. I resubmitted the same file five minutes later, randomly highlighting passages in yellow and making no actual changes.

Within less than an hour, I received final acceptance from the editor. Shortly after, I was sent an invoice for APCs amounting to USD $2,949, payable within two to three days. I replied angrily and embedded references to songs by the singer Robbie Williams (the real one), with a fake receipt attached from the “CheatBank of Spain” generated by AI. A few days later, I discovered that the article had indeed been published on the journal’s website with an assigned DOI. My email of November 18 was my last communication with them. Since then, Robbie Williams has continued to email me every five or six days requesting payment."
