Presenter Frédéric Lopez was the victim of identity theft. He took to social media to warn his subscribers. The matter has been brought to justice.
A very serious message. Frédéric Lopez used his social networks to warn of identity theft: “I have been impersonated by malicious individuals in order to request money in my name. Rest assured that I will NEVER ask you for money for anything. Be vigilant on social media and do not respond to these fraudulent requests,” writes the host ofA Sunday in the countryside.
A fan of Frédéric Lopez got scammed!
In a video lasting several minutes on his Instagram account, the 57-year-old presenter wanted to warn his audience. “There are people who pretend to be certain personalities on social networks and ask for money. And it happened, since I just learned from lawyers that one of you was scammed out of money by someone who pretended to be me and who said he was in difficulty,” he explains.
Clearly affected by this woman’s situation, Victor’s father does not want the situation to happen again. “I need to warn you by telling you that never, I mean NEVER, will I ask you for money for anything. And so, I ask you to be vigilant, to talk about it around you, because I think that it doesn’t only happen to me, it happens to other personalities.”
Frédéric Lopez is a collateral victim of his usurper
It is not known how much the victim was scammed, but it is suspected that she thought she was giving the money to Frédéric Lopez. A situation that is distressing the France 2 host. “I have a lot of compassion for this person who was a victim of this and, as a result, I find myself a victim of this identity theft. Once again, I ask you to be very careful. I send you my love.”
Identity theft happens quite regularly to celebrities. A video went viral where a fan thought she was marrying David Hallyday and also paid 40,000 euros to an imposter. “I’m not the only artist who’s fed up. A lot of artists are complaining. It’s just disgusting,” Patrick Bruel was indignant on RFM. “There is no artist who is going to ask you for money. There is no artist who is going to ask you for benefits for this or that.”
