Tikshop (tik-store5988.com) Fake TikTok Shop Task Scam

Savun Law & Consultancy · Updated 7 November 2026

Tikshop is an operation that presents itself as a sales partnership linked to TikTok Shop and promises "commission per task" at the address tik-store5988.com. The process, which starts with small tasks, turns into ever larger payments required to unlock the tasks.

In short: Tikshop is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK) and has no connection with the real TikTok Shop. The method is task payments of rising amounts and locking the withdrawal with a "cancellation penalty". Legal routes exist for claiming back money that was sent.

🚩 The Task Lock and Cancellation Penalty Scheme

The first tasks involve small amounts and the commission appears on the panel at once.
To open the following tasks, a deposit into the account is demanded; the amount grows with every task.
At the withdrawal request, the platform says "payment cannot be made without completing the last task", and the largest payment is demanded at this stage.
Anyone who wants to leave the tasks is hit with a "cancellation penalty"; this penalty is not deducted from the balance but is required to be paid in separately.

🔍 Findings About tik-store5988.com

The platform is reached through a subpage of a domain with a number in it. Payments are taken by bank transfer, converted to USDT at a crypto exchange and then moved to the platform account; this route is chosen to make the money harder to trace. The operation is not authorised by SPK; an institution can be checked through the SPK list of authorised intermediary institutions. Acts of this kind, in which computer systems are used as a tool, are assessed as qualified fraud under Article 158/1-f of the Turkish Penal Code.
