What began as a hacking incident has turned into a prolonged nightmare for Pollito Tropical. The Cuban influencer has spoken out again to report that his main TikTok account, where he has amassed 4.8 million followers, is still in the hands of scammers.

Weeks ago, it was already revealed that access to her profile had been compromised since June 1. As she explained at the time, the perpetrators changed the device, the country of registration, and the email associated with the account, and they even demanded 10 thousand dollars to return it.

But rather than being resolved, the problem persists. In his latest video, he stated that hackers continue to publish his content and, more seriously, using his identity to collect money and contact sponsors while pretending to be him.

“My TikTok account is still hacked. They keep posting my videos. They are charging and reaching out to sponsors who are my friends. It’s frustrating,” she expressed.

The creator confessed that he needs to open a new account, but TikTok won't allow him to do so while the previous one is still active. “I need to open a new account, but they won’t let me unless I take down the other one,” he explained, once again asking his followers to report the profile so it can be permanently shut down.

Meanwhile, her account with 4.8 million followers continues to operate without her control, keeping a situation open that has already lasted over six months and, for now, seems to have no immediate solution.
