In a troubling incident, Daisy Yelichek discovered a TikTok video exploiting her father's image to solicit donations for a non-existent cat sanctuary. The account masqueraded as a sad man at risk of losing his shelter, enticing users to buy slippers purportedly made by him. Many unsuspecting followers were misled into believing they were supporting a noble cause. Complaints ensued when customers received mass-produced slippers instead of handmade items. This case underscores a broader trend of impersonation affecting elderly TikTok users.
It's thieving, it's stealing, and it's not right. Users on TikTok are exploiting the identities of elderly individuals. Instead of helping, they profit from deception.
The account posting the plea for funds appears to be a front for a scheme seeking to sell mass-produced slippers while misleading millions with a false narrative.
