In a recent serious post on his social media, Chris Evans alerted his followers to a troubling situation involving an impostor pretending to be him. The star, known for his comedic and engaging online presence, took the time to inform fans that someone has created a fraudulent Facebook account, messaging women under the guise of being him.
“WARNING: PERVY IMPOSTOR ALERT!!! This is NOT a joke,” Evans stated. “It’s been confirmed: someone is impersonating me on Facebook and possibly other platforms, attempting to flirt with numerous female fans and soliciting personal information. I’m dead serious.”
Evans expressed his outrage at this deceptive behavior, stating, “This kind of conduct is absolutely unacceptable. If I find out who is behind this, I’ll make sure their account gets shut down and I’d have no qualms about confronting them directly.”
Receiving a message from someone you believe to be Chris Evans can certainly leave anyone in disbelief. To help fans verify the authenticity of messages, he advised them to look for the blue “VERIFIED” checkmark next to his name. “If there’s no checkmark next to my name, that person is a fraud. I apologize for this situation,” he added.
As a father, Evans expressed particular concern about young fans potentially falling prey to this scam. With countless children idolizing him, he urged parents to educate their kids about the dangers of online impersonators. “Spread the word and inform the younger generation,” he advised. “It’s likely that children may be the ones who get caught up in this, and that thought sickens me.”
In the wake of Evans’ warning, several individuals have come forward to share their experiences with the impersonator. The fraud is reportedly also targeting fans on Instagram and Twitter. Known for his generosity toward fans, Evans emphasized his distress over the thought of someone being hurt or manipulated by this deceptive individual. “It terrifies me to think someone could suffer emotionally or worse at the hands of this impostor. I’ve heard from many people about this. It’s not a one-off incident. If you’re in contact with this person, please block them immediately.”
While some fans found humor in the situation, joking about their missed opportunity, the overall sentiment remains serious. Evans made it clear that he is ready to take decisive action against the impostor. “If you’re the one doing this, I’m giving you a warning: stop now or you will be very unhappy with the consequences. Go find a better path,” he cautioned.
