Johnny Depp issues warning over 'deceptive' social media accounts. The actor took to Instagram on Tuesday to wish a Happy New Year along with a statement in which he urged fans not to interact with anyone who appears to be posing as him on social media. ”Sadly, it has been brought to my attention that online scammers are intensifying their efforts to target my fans and supporters.” “As part of their tactics, they create multiple, deceptive social media and email accounts impersonating me and members of my team.” Depp noted Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology can be used to create the illusion of his face and voice. ”Scammers may look and sound just like the real me. But, neither I, nor my team, will ask you for money or your personal information.” He when on to insist that he and his team are working to "combat these illicit schemes”. Johnny also begged fans to only follow his official accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok and to steer clear of people using his name on chat-based platforms like Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, or Zangi. ”Again, neither myself, my team, my agent, nor my family will ever contact you on my behalf asking for money or your personal information.”
