Is it just me, or the screenshots just scream "scam"?
1. Inconsistent spelling TikTok vs Tiktok, business vs Business in app names and logos
2. Inconsistent font in Tiktok logo (Times New Roman like font in Android app, wut)
3. Typos and clumsiness: "vocher" instead of "voucher"; space between $ and 3000 on confirmation screen.
4. As mentioned, the app developer not being TikTok
I'd not be surprised for random person to fall for this, but an experienced techie should have seen many red signs.
(Having said that, as some other comment said, logging with FB on mobile is inherently unsafe because you can't really tell if it's FB or impostor site. Plus the way the ads markets work, which is just built for scams like this. Modern web sucks).
