In his post, Depp stated, "Sadly, it has been brought to my attention that online scammers are intensifying their efforts to target my fans and supporters." He explained that these fraudsters had been creating fake social media profiles and email accounts, impersonating both him and his team.
Addressing the growing sophistication of these scams, Depp highlighted the dangers posed by new technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. "Today, AI can create the illusion of my face and voice," he noted. "Scammers may look and sound just like the real me."
Reaffirming his commitment to protecting his fans, Depp emphasized that neither he nor his team would ever request money or personal information from his followers. "I am actively working to shut down such scams," he assured his supporters, urging them to remain alert to avoid falling victim to these fraudulent activities.
The actor also took the opportunity to clarify his official social media presence, providing the details of his verified Instagram and Facebook pages. He cautioned his fans that he is not active on platforms such as X/Twitter, Snapchat, or Discord.
