James McCartney is latest celebrity to fall victim to online scammers after Sandra Bullock expressed 'deep concern' for her family's safety over social media impersonators


The singer, 47, said he had seen internet profiles 'claiming to be him' just a day after Sandra, 60, issued a rare public statement over a similar scheme.

The same day, BBC presenter Naga Munchetty has told of her fury after scammers posted fake nude photos of her online in a bid to con social media users out of their cash. It comes after Oscar winner Sandra had a serious scare on Monday, releasing a statement expressing her worries for her family and other innocent people being targeted by such scams, stating that anyone claiming to be her is an impersonator. Gesine took to Instagram on Sunday to detail the extent of the issue, sharing screen grabs of a number of fake accounts, and writing that some people have been scammed out of thousands of dollars.
