- A TikToker from New Jersey recently made a viral public service announcement about finding a wallet.
- After the video gained traction, people started impersonating the wallet’s owner, creating a humorous trend.
- The owner, Jake DeMarco, woke up to multiple texts from friends who saw the TikTok and eventually got his wallet back.
On Friday night, a TikToker named @antonio_marchiano discovered a wallet in Ocean City, New Jersey and shared a video about it.
In the video, @antonio_marchiano explained that he found the wallet while walking on the street. He showcased a photo of a person in graduation attire, claiming it was the wallet owner named Jake Joseph. @antonio_marchiano then revealed that he hid the wallet in a bush across from Ocean Manor hotel.
The video quickly gained over 20 million views in just three days and sparked a trend of people pretending to be “Jake Joseph” by changing their account names and profile photos.
Fortunately, the wallet’s actual owner, Jake DeMarco, saw the viral video after receiving messages from friends who had watched it. He was able to locate the bush where @antonio_marchiano had left his wallet and was reunited with it.
According to DeMarco, he had realized he lost his wallet the previous night after going mini-golfing and getting Cinnabon. He spent 30 minutes searching for it, worried because it held sentimental value as a gift from his grandfather. The wallet also contained important items like photos, his debit card, and coupons.
Despite the hoaxes and memes surrounding his name, DeMarco found them amusing and appreciates the internet’s humor. He even filmed a FaceTime video with @antonio_marchiano that gained hundreds of thousands of views.
Now, after being reunited with his wallet, DeMarco is grateful for @antonio_marchiano’s help and considers the entire experience a cool and unique way to find his lost item.
