As the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day in 2026 approach, Douyin issued a safety warning, stating that criminals are creating and sending counterfeit “gratuity cards” with the “Douyin” logo. These packages often come with inferior mooncakes, water bottles, and other low-cost goods to deceive users into trusting them. After users scan the codes to claim prizes, they are led by so-called “fake customer service” to download fake applications, participate in fake shopping tasks, or share screens, resulting in financial loss. In response to such scams, Douyin’s anti-fraud center recommends that if users receive calls claiming to be official customer service, receive related packages, or encounter suspicious people in live streams, they can verify the authenticity through the “Verification Assistant” function within the Douyin App.
