In March 2022, Julien Doré warned his fans of great danger on social networks. In an Instagram message, he announced thata usurper pretended to be him and asked his fans for money…
This December 18, 2024, a victim of fraud confided in Julien Courbet, on RTL. Fan of Julien Doré, she fell in this kind of trap and lost 50,000 euros.
Julien Courbet warns of a scam
The host of “It could happen to you.”warned the general public. He clarified “so Julien Doré has nothing to do with that”. And to add: “and unfortunately if you have someone who tells you ‘I can put you in contact with him’that’s not the case.”
On her set, this fan of the singer of “Cuddly Coco” recounted his journey. She clarified: “In fact, I went to an astro theme astrology site. And I kinda wanted to know my future because I had personal problems“. At this moment she is “came across a bubble with a lady where we could chat and I was given a code to be able to call.”
Taking the floor again, Julien Courbet explains how the criminals proceeded. He says: “They make you talk, they ask you lots of questions to find out what your interests are. You are a fan of this star, and she tells you I’m going to put you in contact with her. And then, she really puts her in contact, even if it is a fake”.
A well-oiled machine
Then, Julien Courbet’s columnist continued: “a month after this conversation with a psychic, she receives a message on social networks from this so-called star, where this person will tell her ‘listen to me I’m the real star, if you want to meet and well can -maybe you could give me 500 euros'”. But still “You’re going to go to a tobacco bar, and that way we can meet“, and then: “I know you’re going to spend Christmas alone, we can spend Christmas togetherit will be 1000 euros, you can come see me at concerts”.
The poor fan will find herself “every time“to pay. The final blow is when she receives a message on Facebook from an alleged “police internationale”she said. He warns her “that the star is stuck abroad, that to help him, we must give 45,000 euros”. The argument that finally convinced her: “The star said that madame was the wife of this starand it is she who will be able to help”.
Julien Doré’s warning
This is good so that the most vulnerable do not fall into the trap that Julien Doré had written: “I just spoke with the real Julien Doré… He seems cool but he always ends up needing tunes & asking me for my credit card number…”
And to conclude: “Friends, I’m telling you again here: be careful of the many fake profiles who contact you on Insta & Facebook (generally in response to your comments) and who always end up asking you for money (on Whatsapp etc)”.
