Another user wrote, “Oh no. There’s no shame in SA. They cloned your account now!”
“They said I won 🏆 two phones 📱 must send them iTunes gift card before I can receive my so called phone😂😂😂😂😂 Somsom kubi”, a user said of her experience with the person behind the fake account.
It is, however, advised that people stay away from accounts that have been flagged as fake accounts as the only intention behind such accounts is to fraudulently obtain money from real fans of the celebrity they impersonate.
