TikTok Scam Alert Documentary

Media entrepreneur and celebrated storyteller Chude Jideonwo has released a new documentary titled “The TikTok Scammer”, a chilling exploration of how digital platforms are being used to exploit love and vulnerability.
The documentary investigates the story of Jlove, an American man who used TikTok to build romantic relationships with Nigerian women under false pretenses.

What began as seemingly harmless online exchanges developed into calculated scams, resulting in emotional and financial loss for women who believed they had found genuine connection.

“The TikTok Scammer” takes an unflinching look at how dating apps and social media platforms have become effective tools for deception, where love is used as bait and trust becomes the first casualty.

This story is told entirely through firsthand accounts. One of the women featured, Jasmine Okafor, who went as far as marrying Jlove, shared that she saved $13,000 with him over time. “I even bought the shoes and suit he wore on our wedding day with money I borrowed from my mum,” she said in the film.
Another woman, Lola, revealed that she considered Jlove a brother. Even when people warned her he might be a scammer, she defended him and continued to believe he was genuine.

The documentary draws attention to the real-world consequences of online manipulation and the growing pattern of cross-border romance scams. It adds to the WithChude platform’s growing catalogue of bold, investigative content that confronts the emotional and social realities often left out of the headlines.
