Have you ever impulsively checked out an item from the TikTok shop at 3 am after watching a video that convinced you how much you needed it? This scenario is all too common among TikTok users, boosting the platform as a powerhouse in the social media landscape.

The article from Rappler discusses the phenomenon of "budol" on TikTok, where users are tricked into buying products through deceptive marketing tactics. It highlights how TikTok has become a platform for scammers to exploit the trust of users by showcasing fake or misleading product demonstrations, often involving beauty, health, and tech gadgets. These scams typically involve products that promise unrealistic results or are outright counterfeit. The article warns users to be cautious of overly enthusiastic reviews, suspiciously low prices, and sellers who pressure for immediate purchases. It also provides tips on how to avoid falling for these scams, such as checking seller credibility, looking for genuine reviews outside of TikTok, and being skeptical of products that seem too good to be true. The piece emphasizes the importance of due diligence before making any purchase influenced by social media trends.
