Luke Grimes to ‘Yellowstone’ Fans: Beware of Online Scams

Luke Grimes, beloved for his genuine nature and dedication to his fans, is navigating a new chapter in his career. As “Yellowstone” wraps up, Grimes is channeling his energy into his emerging music journey.

His hard work is already bearing fruit, marked by his recent signing with the prestigious Warner Chapel Music and the release of his self-titled album. This exciting transition is not only bringing his music to new ears but also expanding his fan base. However, the increased visibility has brought an unwelcome consequence: a surge in online scams targeting his supporters.

This troubling trend of impersonation isn’t new among “Yellowstone” cast members, with Lainey Wilson, Bracken Merrill, and Cole Hauser having faced similar issues. Grimes, concerned about the impact on his fans, took to Instagram to address the situation directly and help prevent further victims of these scams. In his message, he clarified:

“It has come to my attention that individuals are masquerading as me, claiming to represent me, or directly contacting fans to solicit money, among other requests. I want to be perfectly clear: I would NEVER engage in such actions. I do not use direct messaging on social media, nor do I authorize anyone to do so on my behalf. I’m aware that some people may be more susceptible to these scams, so please, if this happens to you or someone you know, report the offending accounts through the app immediately. -Luke”

The incident serves as a reminder of the need for vigilance online, especially when celebrities are impersonated. Remember, if you receive a message from Luke Grimes, it’s likely not from him. Stay safe and skeptical on the internet.
