Johnny Depp used his Instagram profile to warn fans about possible online scammers pretending to be the actor and asking for money in his name.
Actor Johnny Depp made a post on Instagram to warn his fans about possible scams being carried out in his name. Criminals are asking for money by pretending to be the star of “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
“As part of their tactics, they create multiple fake accounts on social media and emails pretending to be me or members of my team,” wrote Depp.
The actor, who portrays Jack Sparrow, commented that scammers are using artificial intelligence to simulate his face and voice. “Neither I nor my team will ask for money or your personal information,” he warned.
Depp also stated that he is not active on social media platforms like X, Snapchat, or Discord and that he does not directly interact with fans on these platforms. According to the post, Depp and his team are working to combat these crimes.
Johnny Depp is not the only celebrity being exploited in online scams. Kylie Jenner, Taylor Swift, Anya Taylor-Joy, Tom Hanks, Sabrina Carpenter, Sydney Sweeney are among the most common names associated with scams, according to McAfee.
