Friend or Fraud: An Entire TikTok Following Gets Manipulated

Social media has its perks. Through it, we can reconnect, keep in touch, and even meet new friends. The downfall? Behind the mask of a keyboard, we can be whoever we want to be - and so the new friends you meet might not be who they say they are. This was the case for our two guests today and another 170,000 people who followed a prominent figure in the TikTok healthcare community to get information during the peak of COVID. But when his facade began to unfold, thousands realized they'd been lied to - and that's on a macro-level. Our guests today share just how far this person's manipulation and control could go, impacting their lives individually in ways that will shock you. Today's guests, Meredith and Stephanie, share their stories of making friends with a fraud, the hurt that transpired, and the healing they've encountered since. If you or someone you know is being bullied on the Internet, please make a report at IC3.gov [https://www.ic3.gov/]. If you or a loved one is in need of immediate psychiatric assistance, please call the 24/7 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.
