Transgender TikTok star Debbie Crankin accused of scamming followers

TikTok star Debbie Crankin has been accused of stealing hundreds and thousands of dollars from her fans.

Dubbed as Debbie the Scammer, Crankin, who is a transgender woman based in California, is accused of using her trans identity to scam her TikTok followers.

Crankin set up a GoFundMe account in order to raise $300,000 for her medical procedures, required for her to fully transition.

As her TikTok videos went viral, she ended up raising $91,444 but as things were looking well for her, she was accused of stealing people’s money to fund her luxurious lifestyle.

At first, she was called out for her target goal as it was deemed to be exorbitant as many pointed out that she needed only one third of the amount she was seeking.

"Criminal mastermind. First of all, all male to female surgeries combined would be less than 100k – even if you went to upscale surgeons for all of them," TikTok user ceeceejacobsencc commented.

Furthermore, it was revealed that Crankin could have received her transition surgeries for free, which continued to stir scandal as to why she needed to raise funds. 

What was the straw the broke the camel's back was when another trans woman TikTok user by the handle zayaperysian exposed Crankin with proof. 

She revealed that Crankin was not looking to fund her transition surgeries but rather used her supporters' money to buy a brand new car and backed the claim with a proof of purchase. 

Not only this, Crankin was exposed for living in a $3300 per month luxury apartment in Los Angeles. 

Furthermore, it was also revealed that she had set up nine different GoFundMe accounts to add to her already overwhelmingly large income as well as multiple accounts on other funding pages, some as large as $700,000.

Despite all this, Crankin continues to post TikTok videos asking her followers to support her funding pages and insists that the money is for her surgeries and basic survival as a trans woman.
