US shoppers targeted in sophisticated TikTok scam amid global trade uncertainty  — Online scammers are reportedly targeting US shoppers on TikTok in an elaborate fake luxury products scheme in which the seller claims to have obtained "factory direct" designer clothes. Recently, many users on TikTok have encountered convincing ads promoting discounted items from high-end brands, like Lululemon leggings and a Hermès Birkin lookalike. The voiceover purports that the cheap clothes were pulled straight out of the factory, meaning they possess the same quality materials from the same suppliers—a deal too good to be true.
