TikTok acne product led to card fraud

A reddit report about a impersonation scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I was getting tired of my acne getting out of control and saw this ad on TikTok from a Dr Melaxin skin thing, and it was supposed to help remove my blackheads and stuff. Bad idea, cause I didn't know much of what I was ordering. It took almost a month for it to arrive at me in the UK, and it was the wrong product as well. Their support just stopped answering my messages, and I couldn't reach them anymore. I took my losses and moved on till random US companies that I haven't heard of started charging me small amounts that I didn't have, 30 here, 40 there, and it was declining cause I didn't have enough money in my account. I am quite sure this company was the one giving out my debit card info, as it was the only website I had put in my information and debit card info, thus I'm sure it was them. I had to change my card, and I'm lucky I only lost the money I spent on the fake products. Be careful of trysyrup. I am first time poster, sorry for all errors in my typing. Have a good day.
