In an Instagram submit on Monday, actor Johnny Depp warned his followers of an internet rip-off being carried out in his title.
“Sadly, it has been brought to my attention that online scammers are intensifying their efforts to target my fans and supporters,” Depp wrote within the submit. “As part of their tactics, they create multiple, deceptive social media and email accounts impersonating me and members of my team.”

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor warned that “AI can create the illusion of my face and voice,” and that “scammers may look and sound just like the real me.”
To keep away from any confusion, Depp then listed all of the reliable social media accounts that he’s linked to, and reminded his followers that he’s not on X (previously Twitter), Snapchat or Discord.
The actor wrote that he doesn’t “offer paid meetings, phone calls, club memberships, or fan cards,” and that he doesn’t “interact directly with fans on any social media platforms.”

The “Fantastic Beasts” actor wrapped up his submit by reiterating that “neither myself, my team, my agent, nor my family will ever contact you on my behalf asking for money or your personal information.”
Depp isn’t the one movie star warning their followers about impersonators. On Jan. 3, singer Kelly Rowland took to Instagram to share an identical message.
In a now-expired Instagram Story, Rowland cautioned followers to “be careful out here,” and acknowledged that the messages despatched below her title had been “FAKE AF!!”
