Young and the Restless star Mark Grossman has once again come out with a serious message for the fans to be aware of a new scam that’s been going around. So watch till the end to know all about it.
Hey everyone, welcome to Trend Street. Actors just can’t catch a break sometimes, even after sending out countless warning and scam alerts. Fake profiles don’t back down even after exposing them. In fact, it turns out they’ve taken their scam to a whole new creative level.
Recently, Mark Grossman, aka Y&R’s Adam Newman, took to his Instagram story to make his fans and followers aware about it. With a big scam alert warning on top, Grossman went on to reveal how these scammers have started to get creative to fool innocent people.
“Fake accounts are stealing my photos, videos, and even my scam warnings,” he said.
In fact, these people have even started using AI to make fake voices in videos, pretending to be either him, his manager and team, or even his family members. They’ve also started claiming that they are the official fan clubs just to extort money from fans.
He even stated some things he would never do:
-
He will never ask for money, gifts, or personal info.
-
He will never contact fans through WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Google Chat, text, SMS, email, or any other app platform outside of Instagram.
-
He has only one Instagram account, and it’s the one with the verified tick on it.
So, if anyone else contacts you, no matter what they claim, just know it’s a scam. Like he said: block, report, stay safe.
And this isn’t the first time—it’s about the third—that Grossman has had to step in and warn his fans about a scam. Previously, fake profiles popped up online pretending to be his manager and using his name to promote fake fan events, all in an attempt to trick people out of their money and personal information.
Thankfully, fans caught on quickly, exposed the account, and Grossman himself released a statement warning everyone to steer clear of such imposters. At the time, he made it crystal clear: neither he, his family, nor his reps would ever randomly message fans asking for money, personal information, or anything shady like that.
His advice was simple: be cautious, stay sharp, and report anything suspicious.
But here’s the thing. While most fans can spot a scam from a mile away, there are still some people who don’t realize what’s happening until it’s too late. And now, with scammers using AI-generated videos that look frighteningly real, it’s getting even harder to tell what’s fake.
So consider this your friendly PSA: double check everything, trust your gut, and report the fakes before they can fool anyone else.
