Re: Imposters
Dear Fans, It’s possible that an imposter contacted you, trying to scam you using my name or avatar, asking for money, donations or other currency. This person is not me. I have not and will not contact individuals and ask for any money or donations. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) provides guidance on what to do if you have wired money to a scammer. You can visit https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/before-you-wire-money for more information. Included below are the FTC’s recommendations on initial steps you can take: If you sent money using a wire transfer company like MoneyGram or Western Union, contact that company right away. Tell them it was a fraudulent transfer. Ask them to reverse the wire transfer and give you your money back. MoneyGram at 1-800-MONEYGRAM (1-800-666-3947) Western Union at 1-800-325-6000 If you sent the wire transfer through your bank, contact them and report the fraudulent transfer. Ask if they can reverse the wire transfer and give you your money back. You can also file a report online at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/. And, as a reminder, you can avoid a money wiring scam by never wiring money without first speaking to the person directly to confirm that both the request and the account information provided are valid.
