Nollywood actor Adeniyi Johnson has alerted the public to an impersonation scheme involving his identity, urging fans to be cautious of fraudulent messages and offers.
In a post shared on Instagram, the actor revealed that an individual based in the United Kingdom has been posing as him online. He also shared a screenshot of a conversation with the impersonator to show how the scam is being carried out.
“Scam alert. I do not know this person and or represent whatever he or she stands for. Never used this number and for now I have no manager or personal assistant,” he wrote Monday night.
Johnson made it clear that he has no connection to the person and has not authorised anyone to represent him. He stressed that the phone number being used does not belong to him and added that he currently does not operate with a manager or personal assistant for business dealings.
“Please ignore chats or business proposals from him or her. I do not know him or her. Please, let’s frustrate this number with calls and report it as well!” he added.
He warned fans and the general public to ignore any communication linked to the impersonator and encouraged them to report such activities, noting that it could damage his reputation.
