Bimpe Akintunde Cautions Nigerians About WhatsApp Impersonation Scams
Bimpe Akintunde, the Nollywood actress, has raised an alarm over a fake WhatsApp account created in her name to scam unsuspecting individuals.
The film star took to her Instagram story to share screenshots of the impersonator, posing as her to solicit money from her followers.
Akintunde expressed her frustration and disappointment, cursing the scammer for attempting to profit from her hard work. She warned the public to be cautious of the impersonator on any media platform.
According to The Cable Lifestyle, the actress urged her fans to help report the scammer’s WhatsApp and bank accounts.
She also prayed that God should keep such fraudulent individuals away from her and her loved ones.
“What a morning. Tell me how this country will progress when so many people are struggling, working hard to build a name and brand, and boom, only for someone else to steal their pictures and names only to be defrauding people left and right,” she wrote.
“Who gave birth to such a child? Useless children; may God keep them away from us.
“Please disregard any message from anyone, either in your DM or WhatsApp, asking you to send money.
“Please, it's not me. I am not associated with the above number. I would appreciate it if we could find a way to report both the WhatsApp and the Opay account.”
