Omobolarinde Akinyanju, popularly known as Ashabi Simple, took to her Instagram page to expose a scammer who had been impersonating her, using her name and picture to deceive people.
Sharing screenshots of her conversation with the imposter, Ashabi revealed the audacious attempts made to defraud unsuspecting victims. In the exchange, the scammer not only berated Ashabi for reporting their account but also made derogatory remarks about her personal life, labeling her as a “stingy girl” and mocking her status as a fourth-time babymama.
In a passionate plea to her followers, Ashabi urged them to report and block the fraudulent account, expressing disbelief at the audacity of the perpetrator. She invoked divine justice upon the scammer, vowing that their deceitful actions would not go unpunished.
The revelation sparked a wave of reactions from netizens, with many expressing shock and indignation at the shameless attempt to exploit Ashabi’s identity for illicit gains. Comments flooded in, condemning the scammer’s brazen tactics and offering words of support to Ashabi in her efforts to combat online fraud.
Ashabi’s ordeal is not an isolated incident in the realm of Nigerian entertainment, as other public figures have also fallen victim to similar scams. Actor Alesh Sanni, in a previous incident, confronted a woman who had allegedly been using his photos to defraud people online, highlighting the pervasive nature of digital impersonation. Similarly, musician Peter Okoye and entrepreneur Obi Cubana have both raised alarms over individuals exploiting their names for fraudulent activities on social media.
