Renowned Nigerian actor Chinedu Ikedieze, popularly known as Aki, has warned his fans and followers about the existence of con artists posing as him on the internet.
The actor took to his Instagram page on Monday, August 19, 2024, to share screenshots of a discussion and a contact that was falsely representing him.
The exchange that was made public shows that the imposter was trying to deceive others by asking for money and claiming that they couldn't make transfers on their own.
Chinedu Ikedieze stressed the need for caution among his adherents, cautioning them to carefully verify the legitimacy of every contact or message they receive, even if it appears to come from him.
He wrote, "PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT. Please guys, everyone should be careful,” “These scammers are on a rampage. They’ve devised another level of OBT.
“They now use pictures of public figures as their display picture and start calling or texting people within your circle.
"This post is a clear example of how they operate. Confirm every call or message before attaining to humanity
