Kelly Rowland Warns Fans About Ridiculous Scam Being Done In Her Name
HuffPost
The “Destiny’s Child” alum is the latest celebrity to be impersonated this way.
In 2001, Destiny’s Child warned us all: we weren’t “ready for this jelly.” Fast forward 24 years later, and one-third of the group has another not-so-fun warning for her fans.
On Thursday, Kelly Rowland reportedly caught wind of a scam being done in her name, by a shady Instagram account with the username @iam.kellyrowland. The con artist messaged at least one fan while pretending to be Rowland, according to a screenshot the real Rowland shared on Instagram, People reported.
“Hey, this is Kelly Rowland from Destiny’s Child,” the scammer wrote. “I have lost my credit card and need money for a plain ticket so I can fly to your city to perform. Can you send me money?”
Presumably hoping to cash in on fans’ nostalgic longing for the trio, the scammer sweetened the deal, promising to “bring Beyoncé” along for the ride, People reported.
Then the user replied, “Hello this is Beyoncé,” insinuating that the “Crazy In Love” singer was in on the chat.
