I’ve seen so many empathy scams on TikTok. Here is an example of a ‘dog rescue shelter that is on the brink of closing’ (fake). This TikTok account was created only 4 days ago and the actual website (through the TikTok link) was only created this month. One of the videos is clearly AI of a fake person holding fake dogs.
Empathy Scam exploit a persons good nature to get something out of it like money in the form of donations, or in this case, to buy a ‘handmade’ pet ‘toy’. The website is vague and has no real background story but yet all the information is geared towards the payment options.
Be wary of sob stories on social media. Not just TikTok, all of them. I am sick of scammers.
