Malaysian TikToker Kaki Komen has called out fellow self-proclaimed financial experts on TikTok for renting a private jet to create a false image of themselves.

The TikToker uploaded a compilation this week in which many TikTokers from his country are seen boarding the same aircraft that none of them actually own, reported The Strait Times.

Most of these TikTokers captioned their videos with offers to help their followers "earn your first million in six months" and "become a multimillionaire."

Kaki Komen’s content has been confirmed by another TikToker, who goes by the name MrTurboProp and is also a pilot. Using data extracted from Flightradar, MrTurboProp says the aircraft in the videos pointed out by Kaki Komen has not been flown in a long time, which means the TikTokers only hired it for photoshoots.

None of them actually owns the plan, and they haven’t even actually flown on it, according to MrTurboProp.

Netizens have been having a good laugh criticizing the online "financial experts" for their fantasies.
