TikTok faux jock

A person on the social media app TikTok who creates fake videos showing merchandise that is popular with TikToks youngest users such as Apple iPhones and Airpods and says they are giving them away to each person that follows, likes, shares and comments. They also do livestreams where they tell users that are viewing that they will give them the merchandise if the user "gifts" them a "drama queen"($50) which they do, and never get the merchandise because the TikTok faux jock never had the merchandise to begin with. This type of TikTok #fakeclout hustle and livestream scam is almost exclusively done by teenage boys targeting pre-teen to teenage girls as seen in many of Verified TikTok "star" Brandon Mandaras page and livestreams.
Brandon Mandera: Yo, I'm giving away all these phones! Do you want one? All you gotta do is Follow me, share this video, like this video, like all of my other TikToks, follow me on Insta-gram then comment when done, I'll know if your lying so hurry up and do it!

12-year old girl: Done! I want an iPhone please! Mines broke and I really need one.

TikTok Gamer: OMG! you don't believe that TikTok faux jock do you? its a scam smh.....
