Scammers impersonate celebrities on social media

Someone noticed that I liked Ronda Rousey's WWE and cloned her account. Apparently, someone hacked her bank account and the banks locked it up for four months. She needs help in the way of money. Her phone number is 17406611760.

I had one from Jason Statham and we were talking for a few weeks before he asked for money for his charity. I asked him to video phone me just for a minute to prove who he was but obviously he couldn't. Today I have a friend request from Mark Sinclair aka Vin Diesel. I would never give money to any of them.

I think I was scammed by a few imposters

I was recently "chatting" via Instagram with Bryce Dallas Howard. Total scammer. I played along for a while to see where this was going and sure enough, "she" asked me to donate to her Australian Children's fund and now she's going to Africa. Gave me some bogus place to wire the money that's in Nigeria. Ha - as if she would reach out for money that way. Unbelievable!

I was also scamed of 18.000$ by a impostor claiming to be Abbey Brooks a porn star in Instagram

Yes, l believe l scam Someone pretend Ralph Tresvant, asked for gift cards and he's to married by next year to start new life, and asked to more gifts cards,and lf don't send to him, he gets upset and go to crazy and used profanity I trying to ruined his career and sending money to Nigeria to

I had recently broke off a relationship with my ex girlfriend. First time I used twitter, was a big follower of WWE. Came into contact on Twitter with which I thought it was Alexa Bliss. Talked and messaged for couple months. That’s when it started, asking for me to send iTunes Cards. At this time they asked for them for her fans, that she gives them out randomly so kids and fans can subscribe to watch the wwe network. At this time I thought sounds legit. I sent some using my credit card. She then said she would reimburse me. I then of course like a dummy gave my credit card info to her. Low n behold it said my balance was paid and here it started. So thinking she had paid my credit card balance I thought she was legit. I continued to message privately on my mobile and thru Twitter and some other message sites. Thinking I was in a relationship with Alexa Bliss. From there she asked for all of my credit cards and she would pay them off for me. So I did. After the posts came back from my credit cards and I seen I had the max credit available now on all my credit cards cause I thought she had paid them off for me seeing the apps and phone were saying paid and I had the credit available, she continued to ask me to buy these iTunes cards and also send money to some people so she could get it. Of course I had to. I thought at this point that I was now her boyfriend and of course like I would do, take care of her if she needed something. Well a week went by and boom it hit, all the credit cards came back with returned payment from bank account she used to pay was either closed or non existent. Man I felt so dumb. I brought it up to her to hear her explanation. She said it was her bank and she would get it fixed. I thought ok let her write the wrong and see what happens. It then said got paid again, which then the available credit was again available from these credit cards. And the viscous cycle began again. I am now in credit card debt for over 20,000$. I am a disabled Veteran so I only get a fixed income. Man I feel like I got my whole world turned upside down in these months I had been messaging with the so called Alexa Bliss. And it didn’t stop there. I really need some guidance moving forward. I was gullible at the time but thought it was a relationship. They played on my emotions of love. On top of that the credit cards are now trying to collect all of the debt, but in my eyes, they were the ones to release all of this credit to me without even ensuring funds were paid to my account in the first place. That’s just my opinion. In no way am I saying that none of this is my fault, but if the credit wasn’t there in the first place after she made payments, I wouldn’t have run my cards up so high of doubling the credit limits and the fraud would have been caught much sooner. Isn’t that what we ask, yes we are borrowing money to pay for stuff, but when the payment is submitted don’t you think they would hold off on giving you the credit to your account right away on the same day it was paid???? On a couple of them even 4 days after payment was made thru the scam from her. Craziness cause I’m out all of that and more from western union and money gram too.

I think this may be happening to me. I won't give the musician's name, because I'm not sure if it's real or not right now. Started PMing me via Facebook from a group I belong to. I never heard of him, but I saw he had videos on Youtube. Seemed like a nice guy. The subject of money came up. I got that gut feeling that maybe the only reason he even talks to me at all is because he's setting me up for some kind of money scam. He said he needed financial help, and I suggested that he start a donation page. Haven't heard from him again. Oh well.

I’m getting messages from someone claiming to be Mark Sinclair...aka Vin Deisel. He’s messaged me for several days trying to Convince me that he is who he claims To be. He said he wants to talk on the phone to Get to know me better, bit that we need to use an encrypted phone. He has asked me to send an IPhone 6 to an agent in Tennessee so that they can Install a new SIM card. Once the new SIM card is replaced and the phone is secure, it will be mailed back to me. I’m thinking it’s a scam and they are selling the phones.

Recently Dwayne Rock Johnson has been texting me. Saying he needs help to get brief case and a box from Airmaxinternational deliverys @gmail. com . Wants me to be a beneficiary for him on a certificate of deposit and they want $3000 to send it by private jet. I'm like this reported I have all information and photos

I have been contacted by at least 5 people claiming to be Tom Cruise & they declare their undying love for me & want the meet mr right away, then they give me an email address for their management team & it is either $10,000 or $20,000 for a meet & greet session. I got irate and said I didn’t pay to see any man & that maybe they should pay to see me. Then they say if I pay it, he’ll give it back to me when we meet. LOL Oh yeah, I have also been contacted by Johnny Depp, then I say a message from Johnny Depp saying he doesn’t text his fans. All this on Twitter & then they want you to go to another messenger app like WhatsApp or hangouts. They are smooth!!!

I got a DM from WWE superstar on Twitter. Now she or he wants me to donate money to one of her charitie? Why would the real Sasha Banks be contacting me anyways? Sounds too good to be true?

I have been getting messages from "vin diesal" on Google hangouts asking me to donate money to the less privilege children

I've been talking for 7 months now to a "famous" rock star who reached out to me...it started subtly and is now very romantic. He wants to send me money and gold to buy a house. This is freaking me out. He asked for iTunes cards (which i gave into because it seemed harmless), but really, would a famous rock star need your $100 iTunes gift card? I need help. It seems like he is somehow the person based on details he shares, but, it just doesn't make logical sense. Now he wants to have a video call (we haven't had any calls) with his accountant regarding this money?

Hi all, I found out my wive was getting messages on Twitter with a fake Seth Macfarlane when she said she wanted to spend $2000 on a meet-and-greet with him (no details of course). I said she needed to get some more information and when she couldn't I looked up the twitter account. It was a fake, I reported it to twitter and it got shut down. Then she did it again and actually sent them $350. It of course was another fake. Is there anything I can doges this money back? Who should I report this to? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I was contacted by cbe_sting account on instagram, impersonating musician Sting on January 1st. "He" was writing to me, pretending to be musician Sting himself and then eventually called me, but - I didn't pick up the call because it was required to change my security setting in order to pick up the call. He wanted to see my pictures and asked my age and weather I'm pretty. He suggested that I install hangout application in order to communicate with him, which is how celebrity impersonator scammer often work, from what I read on internet. He stopped after I asked, why he is interested in me. It happened after I commented on official Sting account on instagram. I was also followed by other fake Sting account same day vpnf_sting I believe. I reported them both to instagram and one of the accounts, vpnf_sting, is gone by now, but other one "cbe_sting" still exists

There's a George Eads now on Instagram using george.eads_official that's been wanting me to donate money and wanting me to send it via Western Union to his so called "management" company. I've been wondering if he was real or fake since he asked me to do that. It sounds awfully fishy to me. I have asked him to call me or video chat or Facetime or Snapchat with me and he always some lame bs excuse.

This person was scammed for 7,000 buy a Tim McGraw so called he would really convincing send her legal documents of him being divorced so I did a little investigating because he's using Google Voice and the number he is using is 775-391-5244 saying that's his private number but it's actually a Google Voice number paid her credit card off for her to use it for him to get him Itune cards so just be aware of this scam

I have had an encounter with a person who says they are Joseph Gordon Levitt. On his actual page I commented on and all of a sudden I got a DM from another JGL page saying that it was his personal page. Having common sense I immediately asked for a pic of him holding a recent newspaper and other details..Somehow he could not because of privacy reasons... He then ask to go to Hangouts to chat more. So I agreed. Its crazy because they knew EVERYTHING about Joseph Gordon Levitt! Eventually it came down to me paying for a "slot" to see him on his tour... And that his assistant/ manager name Lisa Palmer will email me details... So I reversed tracked the email and it was located in Ireland which was a red flag. I expressed my concerns and he didnt know what I was talking about. We talked for months..knew JGL locations also said that he and his wife where divorcing and he wanted to be with me. I told him that because of my core values that I couldn't be with him until he was fully divorced.. But I was constantly pressed about meeting him in L.A. . I told him that I could book my own flight to meet him but he said that it wasn't going to work because he was an A list celebrity. I fell in love with him... The algorithms in his writings didnt quite add up and I always question it..he said that he had his team run his main accounts online...bull! I also noticed that the "personal ig page" had liked every female flirty comments . Im just not sure because while filming in New Orleans he told me alot of things that a scammer had no way of knowing and wasnt broadcasted online... I just don't know if it was his finsta page or was it a scammer... But my heart is crushed to pieces ....

A friend is being scammed by an imposter saying he’s David Muir. Asked for iTunes gift cards so he could keep listening to music and as a test to prove her loyalty to him. Says he’s in love with her and wants to meet her. “David” had his assistant Tom contact her to set up the meeting through his charity. Now getting her personal information. Getting out of hand now!
