The app looks poorly made and there are clear spelling mistakes plus the fact that it was not offered by TikTok which should have made you suspicious. It sucks this happened but maybe you should have done some research and checked if this app actually did belong to TikTok. I assume the app also asked you to login to Facebook directly rather than OAuth which should also made you suspicious.
- klmadfejno 6y agoI've often heard the argument that scams add spelling mistakes to only catch the idiots that have a high conversion rate for the scam. That doesn't feel like it makes sense on something like this which is highly sophisticated. Is it just bad quality?
- except 6y agoMy point was that official applications rarely ever include them, not that it was intentionally placed there.
- Avamander 6y agoVery American opinion. You are aware that there's a lot of non-native English speakers who can absolutely miss a few typos?
- except 6y agoMy apologies, I missed that possibility. The app still looks poorly put together regardless.
- babuskov 6y ago> you should have done some research Just to be clear, this didn't happen to me. I just posted what Niek van der Maas wrote on his GitHub. I don't think he's even reading this HN thread, so no use giving him advice.
