Hollywood superstar Sandra Bullock has issued a stern warning to fans about online scammers impersonating her for financial gain. In a statement to People on February 3, the Miss Congeniality actress made it crystal clear—she has no social media accounts. “Any accounts pretending to be me or anyone associated with me are fake,” she emphasized, urging fans to stay vigilant.
The actress’s concern comes after her sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, revealed she’s been bombarded with creepy emails and fake profiles attempting to exploit Bullock’s name. Sharing her frustration, Gesine admitted that she spends a lot of time reporting these frauds, only to find them still active.
The situation echoes a shocking case where scammers posing as Brad Pitt conned a French woman out of $800,000, making her believe she was romantically involved with the Fight Club star.
Bullock has now entrusted law enforcement to deal with these digital fraudsters. “My family’s safety and the innocent people being taken advantage of are my deepest concerns,” she stated. So, if you spot a “Sandra Bullock” sliding into your DMs—run!
