A TikTok prank known as the 'Apple Pay' prank led to a confrontation in a Kmart in Adelaide. A young man filmed himself approaching an older man and pretending to make a mobile payment by tapping their phones together. This act prompted an angry reaction from the older man, who demanded to know what was happening and attempted to grab the prankster's phone. The incident, which concluded without resolution, sparked widespread criticism from viewers labeling it as dangerous and embarrassing.
The prank, coined the 'Apple Pay' prank, has been circulating TikTok over the last few days. The goal is to elicit some kind of extreme response from the target for the sake of a viral video.
When the man pulls out his phone to check the time, the teen reaches over and pretends to tap the man's phone while playing a recording of the distinct Apple Pay sound.
Viewers were quick to label the prank as 'dangerous and embarrassing.' 'This is a dangerous thing to do in Australia,' said one person.
The clip, which has been viewed over 900,000 times, then abruptly cuts off before any resolution is made.
