Lunga Shabalala warns against FB fraudsters

Johannesburg - Janu-worry may be over but it seems fraudsters are still using our poor celebs to make a quick buck.

TV personality Lunga Shabalala has become the latest victim of cons who are using his name to try and get money from fans.

Taking to Instagram recently, Lunga warned his fans of tsotsi's using a Facebook account in his name.

 "I DO NOT DO BUSINESS ON FACEBOOK," Lunga wrote. "There is an imposter on Facebook who is using my name to defraud people. Do not engage with this person."

Lunga went on to explain that the fake account is not verified and may ask fans to communicate with "Lunga" in an attempt to con them out of their hard earned cash.

"My official page is verified and does not ask you to communicate through whatsapp nor does it ask for money," he wrote.

This latest scam comes only days after The Juice reported on tsotsi's using gospel artist Andile KaMajola's name to scam money from his fans (more on that here).
