Actor Chinedu Ikedieze, widely known as Akin, has warned his fans and followers about scammers impersonating him online.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Chinedu shared screenshots of a chat and a contact impersonating him.
In the exposed conversation, the scammer was attempting to deceive by requesting money, claiming they were unable to make transfers themselves.
Chinedu urged his followers to be vigilant, advising them to always verify any call or message they receive, especially if it appears to be from him.
“Please guys, everyone should be careful,” Chinedu wrote. “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 responding.”
