Just yesterday, Nollywood actress Stella Damasus closed her Facebook page because “miscreants have been using my name for dubious reasons”.
On social media, a few our superstars
also state that people are impersonating them; informing the public of
the fake Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Today, actor/model/TV host Uti Nwachukwu contacted the BellaNaija Team to share and alert everyone about a man who is impersonating him via BlackBerry Messenger.
We’ll call the man Fake Uti.
Fake Uti asks ladies to send nude photos of themselves and money.
He follows Uti on Twitter and Instagram
to get photos and update his BB status. Fake Uti adds naive girls and
promises them deals with brands including Peak and Samsung.
He later asks them to send N60,000 to his account and nude photos, so he can “be sure they are HOT enough for the job”.
Uti also says the man makes sure the ladies sleep with the HR/PR of the company (which is actually Fake Uti) for the job.
