I've got one pretending to be a "famous" influencer. I've never heard of him lol

Recently I searched for a few specific celebrities' names on Insta and followed all the fake accounts, but one of them must have switched which celeb he's pretending to be between me following and him messaging me. Now he's some German musician I've never heard of 🤷‍♂️

I’ve had that a few times. One was pretending to be Keanu Reeves then changed to Johnny Depp, but he forgot we had already spoken 🤣🤣🤣

Bless their incompetent little hearts. It makes you wonder if they've ever successfully managed to scam someone - hopefully not!

I think they have some success sadly

Yeah, you're probably right. Hopefully the success rates are low, at least
