Yes, TikTok does send official email communications to TikTok for Business account holders about advertising programs, including credit offers and incentive notifications. However, not every email claiming to be from TikTok is genuine. Scammers regularly send phishing emails impersonating TikTok Business to steal advertiser credentials or collect payments for fake credit. Knowing what a legitimate TikTok email looks like is essential for protecting your account. ## What Legitimate TikTok Business Emails Look Like Genuine emails from TikTok regarding your advertising account share several consistent characteristics: - Sender domain: Official TikTok Business emails come from addresses ending in @tiktok.com or @business.tiktok.com. Any email from a different domain, including Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, or a domain designed to look like TikTok (such as tiktok-business.com or tiktokads-support.com), is not from TikTok. - Links go only to tiktok.com or ads.tiktok.com: Hover over any link in the email before clicking. If the URL does not point to an official TikTok domain, do not click it. - No request for your password: TikTok will never ask for your Ads Manager password, full payment card number, or account credentials via email. - No unusual urgency: Legitimate credit notifications do not threaten account closure or demand immediate action to avoid losing credit. Scam emails frequently use urgency as pressure. - Your name or account information is referenced: Official communications typically address you by name or reference your account details, not generic greetings like “Dear Advertiser” or “Dear TikTok User.” ## When TikTok Sends Credit-Related Emails TikTok may send email notifications in these circumstances: - When you register a new TikTok for Business account and qualify for the new advertiser incentive program. - When a credit balance is nearing expiration, TikTok sends a reminder to spend it before the deadline. - When TikTok launches a new promotional credit offer for your region, and you are an existing eligible account. - As part of account management communications, when your account manager or TikTok’s outbound team reaches out about advertising opportunities.

Instead, open a new browser tab and navigate directly to ads.tiktok.com by typing the address yourself. - Log in to your Ads Manager account and check the billing section for any new credit balance. If the credit is real, it will appear there. - Check in-platform notifications within Ads Manager. Legitimate credit offers are also reflected in your account notifications, not only in email. For what the current official credit terms say, see [TikTok’s new advertiser incentive program documentation](https://ads.tiktok.com/help/article/about-the-incentive-program-for-new-advertisers) and [TikTok coupon terms](https://ads.tiktok.com/help/article/tiktok-coupon-terms). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What should I do if I receive a suspicious email claiming to offer TikTok ad credit? Do not click any links, download any attachments, or reply to the email. If the email asks you to log in or enter personal information, do not do so. Mark the email as phishing or spam in your email client. If you are concerned about your account, log in directly to ads.tiktok.com through a manually typed URL and verify your account status and credit balance there. ### Can I contact TikTok to verify whether an email I received is real? Yes. TikTok Business Support can be reached through the official help center at ads.tiktok.com/help. You can submit a support ticket describing the email you received and asking for confirmation of whether it is from TikTok. Provide details such as the sender’s email address and the subject line rather than forwarding the email itself to avoid any risk associated with the email content. ### Does TikTok send ad credit offers via WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS? No. TikTok does not distribute advertising credit offers through WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, or any messaging app. Any message on these platforms claiming to offer TikTok ad credit on TikTok’s behalf is not from TikTok. These are common channels used by scammers because they are informal, difficult to verify, and easy to use for impersonation. ### How can I tell if a TikTok Business email is genuinely from TikTok’s outbound sales team versus a scam? TikTok’s outbound sales and account management team contacts advertisers by email, and these are legitimate. Verify by checking: the sender domain is @tiktok.com or @business.tiktok.com; any links in the email go to ads.tiktok.com or tiktok.com; the email references your actual account or business name; and the offer described matches something you can verify in your Ads Manager account. For what common scam patterns look like in contrast, see [the most common TikTok ad credit scams](https://getadcredit.com/question/what-are-the-most-common-tiktok-ad-credit-scams/). ### Does receiving a TikTok credit offer email mean my account is definitely eligible? An email notification about a credit offer is a strong indicator of eligibility, but the definitive confirmation is the credit balance appearing in your TikTok Ads Manager account billing section. Emails can be delayed, filtered, or sent to the wrong address. The account balance is the authoritative record of what credit is available to you. If an email says you have credit, but nothing appears in your account, contact TikTok Business Support to investigate.
