It began in January of 2023, a young Chinese woman, a teacher from the northeast looking to grow her TikTok channel and gain supporters so that she could earn money and buy her own home. It quickly devolved into a charade of lies and manipulation with love and money being the only prizes. The names of those mentioned in this story have been changed to protect their anonymity. If you have been a victim of manipulation and fraud through a Chinese teacher on TikTok, please reach out. I would love to hear you story and help warn others away from the trap you encountered
