How Does The tiktok Paypal Live Scam Work?

The tiktok creator uses an app called ‘Fake PayPal Money Send Page Simulator’ to display a ridiculous balance like $8m to fool people into sending them gifts so as to get money in return. Once they receive a gift, they request for the gifters PayPal username and ‘send’ a large amount of money. However, it’s all a hoax.

People never get their money after the live. It’s all just a scam to get people to send them lots of gifts.

Though the real PayPal and the fake PayPal simulator share same interface, the fake one does not Autosuggest during transaction process.

On PayPal, when you attempt to send money, just like the tiktok scammers are doing, as you begin to type a username or email a dropdown box with that user’s name will show up confirming that it found that username. Whereas on the fake PayPal interface there’s no form of confirmation.

They simply type a username and click send. The amount gets deducted on the interface but the transaction is a hoax. Recipients never receive the money.
