Nollywood actor Adeniyi Johnson has warned the public about a scammer posing as him online and using a different phone number to contact people.

The actor made this known in an Instagram post on Tuesday, where he revealed that the impersonator is based in the United Kingdom. He also shared a screenshot of a conversation with the individual to show proof of the fraudulent activity.

Johnson explained that the phone number linked to the messages does not belong to him. He added that he does not use any personal manager or assistant to handle his business, stressing that any such claims are false.

He urged fans and the general public to ignore any messages, business proposals or offers coming from the impersonator. He also advised people to report the number, noting that the scam could harm his reputation.

“Scam alert. I do not know this person and or represent whatever what he or she stands for. Never used this number and for now I have no manager or personal assistant. Please ignore chats or business proposals from him or her. I do not know him or her. Please, let’s frustrate this number with calls and report it as well!” he said.
