She bought an influencer’s $75 PR package. A month went by, and she still didn’t receive her package from UPS: ‘The issue is, you are a scammer’
She waited four months for a package that never came.
Asia (@aisebruh) said a TikTok content creator allegedly scammed her by selling her a $75 makeup PR package. After waiting months for it to arrive via UPS, she claimed the content creator failed to deliver it.
Asia explained that she bought a makeup PR package from the content creator in May 2026. The creator is known for selling her PR packages, and Asia said she had bought items from her before.
“Basically, she gets makeup PR, and she would sell them to her viewers,” Asia explained. Instead of selling the bundle as a whole, Asia said she could pick and choose items from the packages, which the content creator would mail out. Asia claimed that she and the influencer were mutuals on Instagram and TikTok. Regardless of their connection, Asia alleged that the influencer still scammed her.
“I had bought a bundle from her back in March and April, and I got both of them, no problem at all,” Asia told TikTok. The previous bundles cost $80 each, and she received the tracking number for both packages. Because they reached her, Asia thought the content creator was legitimate.
In May, Asia alleged that the content creator reached out and asked whether she was interested in a bundle she was selling. The bundle included a plush, a hand mirror, and several cosmetic items, valued at $75. Asia agreed and said she sent $75 through Apple Cash on May 17.
Six days after sending the cash, Asia asked the content creator for the bundle’s UPS tracking number. Asia alleged she didn’t receive a response until three days later. The influencer apologized, but claimed that she didn’t receive a tracking number from UPS.
“I didn’t get a tracking number ’cause it was extra 0.50 for each package!” the influencer’s message to Asia reads.
Waiting on a UPS package without a tracking number
“UPS does not charge you for a tracking number,” Asia said. UPS automatically assigns tracking numbers to packages after the customer pays the shipping fee. In Asia’s case, she said she paid the influencer $15 for shipping, included in the $75 total. Regardless, Asia said the influencer never sent her a tracking number.
By June 9, Asia said the package still hadn’t arrived. She messaged the influencer to ask about the bundle and follow up on the tracking number. She was starting to feel confused because packages from the same influencer had arrived within days in the past. However, Asia said that the influencer “ghosted” her, like a bartender from Ohio who canceled on a wedding at the last minute.
Asia alleged that the influencer left her on read even after she sent two more messages. On June 13, Asia claimed the influencer reached out to her on Instagram and said she had to change her number. Regardless, the influencer reassured Asia that her package would arrive the following week. The influencer explained that she entered the wrong address, so the package was returned to her. Since she was supposed to resend the package, the influencer told Asia via chat that she would send a tracking number this time.
“Maybe UPS is messing my stuff up. I’m like, there’s no way,” Asia mused. It’s not uncommon for UPS to make delivery mistakes, like when they mistakenly sent a $4,000 laptop to a neighboring house, which ended with cops getting called. However, Asia’s mother already believed her daughter was being scammed.
A week later, Asia said she still hadn’t received a tracking number. She then went to the influencer’s livestream and asked them to check their direct messages to send the tracking number.
She gave up on the package
“Then she gets on live with an attitude towards me,” Asia alleged. She claimed that the influencer told her she already responded. Screenshots of Asia’s message history with the influencer show otherwise. Regardless, she confronted the influencer on TikTok. Again, the influencer said she didn’t “pay” for a tracking number, even though she promised to send one.
“The issue is, you are a liar. The issue is, you are a scammer,” Asia said about the influencer. In the end, Asia filed a dispute with her bank when she got back from her Fourth of July trip. As of September 13, Asia says she still hasn’t gotten her money back. Although her online shopping experience was a bust, at least she didn’t have to deal with an impersonator at a sheriff’s county office in Ohio.
