I just joined Tik-Tok expressly for #PowerPointBibleStudy. I have been avoiding it mainly because of all the scandal that it has been involved in.
These are a few of the messages I’ve received, from “Tik-Tockers” who are looking for Love…on Tik-Tok:
Her: “Sorry, I rarely use tiktok chat, sometimes I don’t reply to your messages in time, I hope you don’t mind. Because there are a lot of strange people on here, these people often message me and ask me for money and gift cards. It’s the presence of these people that causes me to dislike using this software for chatting. Have you not met these people? But still, let me say this. Have a great weekend.”
Me: “It seems like a lot of the people on here are trying to take advantage of people in one way or another. It seems that there is A LOT of prositution happening on Tik Tok. A lot of people say: “I don’t like chatting on her, do you have HangOut?” I ask them why they don’t like chatting on here and they’ll respond with “I like my privacy”. Which is quite funny! First of all HangOut is OWNED by Google…so much for your privacy. Secondly there is NO privacy left on the planet…annywhere. So chatting here is fine with me.”
Her: “This sounds very interesting and I would be happy to have a conversation with you. I guess I should introduce myself first. My name is Jessica Linda and I am from Singapore. I am a cheerful girl who suffered from depression after some bad experiences. My therapist suggested me to meet more people with a good sense of humor to talk to because they can bring a smile to my face. I hope we can all make a good impression on each other. It’s the start of a great friendship. Can you introduce yourself?”
Me: I introduced myself and I never heard from her again!
It seems that when you confuse them by knowing what they’re up to and then calling them on it in an indirect was, as I did, they are totally unprepared. I hope by giving responses the way I did, that it helps them to see what they’re doing is wrong…that is if they are actually trying to pull a scam.
In the 23 years that I’ve been online, I’ve never been taken in by one of these poor souls. I’m not bragging about it, it’s just that it makes no sense for a woman that you’ve never seen or met or even spoken with on the phone…it just seems odd that a person could not see what is happening.
The “woman”, if it actually is a woman that you’re corresponding with, will go from “Hi, my name is…to I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you”, all in a matter of a few messages. Then they’ll add, “I want to come and see you, but my mother is in the hospital and I need to pay the doctor…”
What’s very sad is that there are people that believe people like that and they get taken by the demons that are possessing these people.
I have to make a retraction: I said I was never taken in and I wasn’t…not really. In the early 2000’s I joined a dating site, this is how I found out ALL dating sites are SCAMS and years later a co-worker said he started a dating site for people in the military and he said his site was loaded with FAKE PROFILES! Think about it, is there any other way to start a dating site and continue to grow it by having NO members?
I digress, I joined a site and this girl sent me a message, but a lot of the site don’t allow you to give a full reply unless you’re a paying member, that’s clue number 2. So I joined, sent “her” a message and NEVER heard from her. I realized right then that I had been taken in.
Tik Tok seems to be FULL of these Godless people. This is where we are as a civilization right now. The Evil ones have firmly implanted themselves in our governments, corporations, churches, organizations that claim to do good for this group or another, but they are all lying. Look where Tik-Tok is from…China…I shouldn’t say China, it’s the CCP (Chinese Communist Party)!
