TikTok warns users about a surge in scams where fraudsters impersonate customer service representatives. These scammers trick users into downloading fake apps, like a bogus “TikTok Meetings” app, and then use screen-sharing to access bank accounts and steal funds. TikTok explicitly states there is no official “TikTok Meetings” app and advises skepticism toward unsolicited requests to download software or transfer money. They also caution against post-shopping festival delivery scams that lead to malware downloads. TikTok emphasizes they will never ask users to download third-party software or share screens.
