Woman Finds Tracking Tile In Her Purse After Day Out: Issues Terrifying Warning

A TikTok user Sheridan Ellis got a really creepy shock when she decided to check her purse after coming back from a day out. 

After finding a tracking tile in her belongings, she quickly removed the batteries and made a video telling people to be careful. 

Sheridan explained in the video that she didn't normally carry a purse.

"This weekend on Saturday I went to dinner with a group of friends for this girl's birthday. If you know me I don't normally carry a purse, but on Saturday I did because we had decorations and stuff for the table."

"Anyways, at the end of the night, I'm cleaning my purse out and... I find this. If you don't know what this is, it's a Tile. It's basically a tracker, people put it on their keys and whatnot."

Most women who use purses on the daily, don't clean their purses out after use.

"It's not mine. I don't know how it got in my purse. I immediately took the battery out, don't worry. But yeah... Check your purses and stay safe out there."

She said that she didn't know who the tile belonged to or who put it there and that it was terrifying to think someone may have been tracking her.
