Today, I learned that the cancer patient in a foreign country I sent money too from an ad on TikTok was a deepfake AI used by scammers. I thought I'd actually helped someone. FML

Your money went to the wrong place, but your heart was in the right one. Next time, look to reputable cancer charities or crowdfunding sites that verify the need.

while it was nice if you to try to help, unfortunately most online stuff is fake. at least now you know.

Sorry OP, but FYL for falling for that obvious scam. TikTok is full of them. I hope you didn't send too much money. Be careful next time you're scrolling.

A whole new generation of people are going to fall for the old "Nigerian Prince" email, now updated with AI.

your heart was in the right place. nothing in TikTok is real. almost nothing on the Internet period is real

Repeat after me: Nobody mooching money from a foreign country for cancer, plane tickets, because they love you, because their kids are sick, etc. online is for real. NONE.
