Thousands of TikTok users seemed to be fooled on July 6 when an account appeared to pass off an old video of Billie Eilish as a live video.

In the video, Eilish appeared to select fans at random to go live with her. Comments poured in begging Eilish to "pick" them to talk to her. Eilish answered fan questions, though none of the questions appeared to come from the TikTok live chat. 
When the video ended, the same clip immediately started over, tipping off viewers that the stream wasn't live.

The account "Billie" was live streaming from was not her verified, official TikTok account, but one suspiciously named @billieeilishlive_1, which has since been deleted.  

The incident wasn't the first time an old video of Eilish appeared on TikTok. On June 24, another TikTok account streamed a different video of Billie Eilish. At least 43,000 people tuned in to that livestream

A fake Billie Eilish TikTok streamer also had the app's gifting feature enabled during the stream. It allows other users to purchase "gift points" that cost real money. These points can be used to buy virtual "gifts" that can be sent to streamers and eventually redeemed. It's not clear how many gifts were sent during either of the livestreams.

Why would they do this to an unverified account?

Also, I love wasting time on TikTok (and am working on building my account), but they really need some more age restrictions or something. There are a lot of videos I see that aren't appropriate for people underage. That's probably another thread, but it makes me think that these were most likely fans underage giving money.
