Nollywood actor Adeniyi Johnson has issued a strong public warning to his fans and the general public about a fraudster based in the United Kingdom who is impersonating him online and attempting to scam unsuspecting people. The actor took to his Instagram page to raise the alert after discovering the impersonator was engaging people in private chats while pretending to be him or acting on his behalf. Johnson shared a screenshot of a conversation involving the fake account to expose the scam and clear his name.
In his statement, Adeniyi Johnson made his position very clear.
“I do not know this person and do not represent whatever he or she stands for.”
He stressed that the phone number being used by the impersonator does not belong to him and has nothing to do with any of his official dealings.
The actor further warned that he does not operate through any personal manager or assistant for business matters. He urged fans to disregard any messages, business proposals, offers, or requests coming from anyone claiming to represent him, especially through this fake UK-based account.
Johnson called on the public to remain vigilant and report the impersonator’s phone number to the relevant authorities to prevent more people from falling victim to the scam. He emphasised that any communication from the fraudster should be treated as fake and ignored completely.
Adeniyi Johnson’s prompt action aims to protect his reputation and shield his supporters from potential financial loss or misinformation. The actor has not shared further details about the extent of the impersonator’s activities at the time of this report, but his clear and direct message serves as a strong caution to anyone receiving suspicious messages in his name.
