Mexico City- A recent TikTok video has exposed a case of online impersonation involving the popular influencer Valeria Marquez. The video, created by Kevin Portillo (@soykevinportillo), details how a user created a TikTok account falsely claiming to represent Marquez, leveraging her name to accumulate followers and gifts. Portillo shows screenshots of the account's initial description, which indicated it was the official account of Valeria Marquez, and later changed it to a fan page after being exposed. "This person used Valeria's name to gain followers and gifts," Portillo states in his video. "Then, they tried to cover it up by saying it was just a fan page."
