Pauley Perrette Warns Fans About Impersonators
Perrette, who played Abby Sciuto from 2003 to 2018, has built a substantial fan base over the years. In a video posted on Instagram, she shared her frustration over the impersonators causing confusion and distress.
“Last night I received a message on Cameo, which is the only platform where I interact with strangers,” Perrette explained. “The message was about someone’s family member who had been scammed by someone pretending to be me. I took action, but scammers are very deceptive.”
She continued, “Today, I got a message from my old pastor about a Facebook friend request. I’m not on Facebook, so that wasn’t me.”
NCIS Fans Show Their Support
Looking directly into the camera, Perrette expressed her frustration with the situation. “I’m so frustrated by this. I don’t understand why anyone would want to impersonate someone else, but it’s clear that it’s dangerous and these scammers are asking people for money.”
She reiterated that she is not on Facebook, does not request friendships on social media, and only communicates with strangers via Cameo. She apologized to those affected by the scams.
In her post’s caption, Perrette wrote, “BEWARE. For REAL. So many people are impersonating me and it’s awful.” She emphasized that her only official Instagram account is the one associated with her name and apologized to those who have been scammed. “I’m so sorry this is happening. From interacting with a ‘Fake Pauley’ to being scammed out of money, it’s terrible,” she added. “Dawn, I’m sorry; it was never me you were talking to.”
Fans quickly rallied in the comments to support Perrette. One wrote, “It’s so wrong that this is happening. We need to help Pauley protect herself from these impostors. It’s not your fault, Pauley. We love you!” Another added, “Love you, Pauley. Thank you for letting us know.”
This isn’t the first time Perrette has had to address fake accounts. Last April, she also warned fans about impostors and urged them to report suspicious accounts.
Perrette’s continued vigilance underscores the importance of verifying online identities and protecting oneself from scammers.
