TikTokker gets instant karma for money stealing prank
A TikTokker's prank has left him in handcuffs after a viral trend quickly turned sour. The prank has gained massive popularity in recent weeks, where people tap their phones on a strangers device and play the apple payment ding noise, leading the victim to believe they have had money taken out of their accounts without consent. Many videos of people emulating the prank have popped up all over the social media platform TikTok, but one man has received instant karma for his attempt.

In the video posted online, the TikTokker, @fboogielivee, went up to a London bystander and tapped his phone before trying to walk away. The confused victim quickly followed up and grabbed on to his arm, while the influencer repeatedly yelled 'hairline' before clarifying. 'I took £1000 ($2087 AUD) out of your account for a new hairline,' he told the man who had him by the arm. The TikTokker received instant karma for his prank.

However, it took a downward turn for the offender as arms were moved into a chicken wing position and police were called over. 'It's a prank bro, it's a prank,' he began to yell in a much more frantic and panicked tone. The TikTokker received instant karma for his prank.

The TikTokker was then placed in handcuffs by two officers and his cameraman asked if he should keep recording the ordeal. As he was put in cuffs the law authorities told him to remain still, while the culprit became more frantic. The TikTokker received instant karma for his prank.

The video gained 800,000 views across Instagram and TikTok, and is one of many that are across social media of people copying the Apple Pay prank to enact a reaction out of innocent bystanders. People online condemned the TikTokker for his actions and said it was a 'deserved' outcome. 'Good lesson for the pranksters,' a comment said. 'Unsurprisingly, shoving a device next to a phone/making the same sound a card reader might, shouting that you've just taken £1,000 off someone, and then claiming it was all a prank - may lead strangers to not believe a word you're saying - shocking eh!,' another pointed out. 'Good police work!!! Get that nut job off the streets,' one said praising law enforcement for their response.

'I will end your life': Knights star targeted by vile abuse, death threat
Knights winger James Schiller has been subjected to a death threat and abhorrent abuse on social media after Newcastle's dramatic 26-22 win over Manly on Thursday night. Schiller took to his private Instagram account to expose comments from a supposed fan after the game. The fan sent Schiller a direct message and told him to "count your days c--t I will end your f---ing life". The Knights are aware of the incident and have called a press conference with coach Adam O'Brien for later this morning. The NRL Integrity United will also monitor the situation and the NSW Police may be asked to investigate given the nature of the threats. It's the second time in 12 months Schiller has put the spotlight on unacceptable abuse of players. The incident on Thursday night comes almost exactly 12 months after Schiller revealed he had been subjected to foul abuse while playing for the Canberra Raiders following a post-match interview. At the time he posted a screenshot with the words: "Footy bra" after an Instagram follower took aim after a Fox Sports interview. "You're a f---ing gayc--t ... worst post-match interview I've ever seen." This time the abuse was more targeted and Schiller decided to expose it. His Knights teammates shared his post on social media. "Count your days c--t I will end your f---ing life," the user said. "Doesn't make up for it even though you won. "5 errors, 2 penalties, 1 six again and a partridge in a pear tree I hope Dane jams his c--- down your throat and you choke and die." By his own admission, Schiller had a disappointing first half at McDonald Jones Stadium to the point where Knights coach Adam O'Brien switched him positions at half-time. But moving back to his usual position of right wing from left centre, the 23-year-old played a starring role in Newcastle's epic comeback, scoring a try and setting up another as the Knights came from 16-0 down at the break to win a thriller in golden-point extra time. The Knights have been contacted for comment. The incident came after Knights coach Adam O'Brien took a swipe at fans, who booed his team off when they trailed 16-0 at half-time. "I know the scoreline is not what they want, but to boo the effort that went into that first half, from a really young team, the people that booed don't know anything about rugby league. "It's really disappointing," O'Brien said. "They're probably the ones that cheered at the end too. "I thought that first half, we defended our hearts out. You've got to remember, there's a really, really young footy team there against a very good opposition ... You saw what they did last week to a pretty full-strength Brisbane team. They've got some dangerous players there. "We made a few errors leading into half-time that gassed us a little bit ... but a tremendous effort in the second half. I think we only made the two errors and there was plenty of ball movement. "I know people are disappointed with us, but they're trying their backsides off. We don't have a front-rower available. A play-one or play-two front-rower." More to come...

Jonathan Joss 'was the victim of a hate crime'
Jonathan Joss' husband feels the actor was the victim of a "hate crime". The 'King of the Hill' star was shot dead in San Antonio over the weekend, and Tristan Kern de Gonzales, his husband, has rubbished the police's suggestion that the murder wasn't related to Jonathan's sexual orientation. In a video posted on TikTok, he said: "I'm gonna keep talking about, not only what happened on the day of my husband's death, but also, we're gonna share just everything about Jonathan and everything that he stood for." Tristan disputed the outcome of a police investigation, and insisted that he "won't be silenced". He said: "We won't stop talking about this. I'm not going to let the San Antonio Police Department or anyone else silence the fact that this was a hate crime, and I just won't be silenced. "I may not be as loud as my husband, but I carry his strength with me. I won't stop fighting for what I know is right and for my love." Jonathan was shot dead on Saturday (31.05.25), aged 59, and Tristan announced his passing via a post on social media. He wrote on Facebook: "My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. "Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. "When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. "While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. "Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. "Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. "He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other." Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez has been charged with first-degree murder.
