“I also take this opportunity to write to you here about my social networks. Why? Because there are lots of people on social networks, lots of scammers who steal photos of presenters, actors, athletes, etc. to come and annoy you, you ask for money pretending to be us” he said.
And to add: “Never ever give money to someone who pretends to be me, for Nagui, Stéphane Bern whatever […] Don’t be fooled by these bastards. I tell you this often but it’s very important”.

To collect the money, the scammers then asked for help from the singer’s fans with a well-established system.
