Pauley Perrette, known for her role as Abby Sciuto on NCIS, recently addressed her frustration with scammers impersonating her and other celebrities online.
In a video shared on Instagram on July 16, Perrette warned fans about fake social media profiles that have affected both her fans and personal connections. She recounted receiving a distressing message from a fan on Cameo about a family member who had been scammed by someone pretending to be her.
Additionally, her pastor received a friend request from an imposter on Facebook, a platform Perrette clarified she does not use. Expressing her exasperation, she emphasized the danger of these scams, as imposters often ask for money. Perrette reiterated that Cameo is the only platform where she interacts with people she doesn’t know and apologized for the confusion caused by these impersonators.
In the caption accompanying her video, she expressed her sympathy for those who have been duped by “Fake Pauley” accounts, acknowledging how “AWFUL” the situation is for those affected.
