Sir Billy Connolly sending ‘love & cuddles' as he issues alarming warning to fans
The comedy legend shared the worrying update with his legions of fans on his official channels. 'BE AWARE' Sir Billy Connolly sending 'love & cuddles' as he issues alarming warning to fans Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SIR Billy Connolly has warned online scammers are using AI to recreate his voice and likeness in order to extort his fans. The comedy legend, 82, said he had become aware of multiple accounts impersonating him on social media and targeting his followers. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up Fans who follow the comedian's official Facebook page have been sent messages by bogus accounts pretending to be him. They are encouraged to move the conversation over to a private messaging app before being asked to send money to secure merchandise or a meeting with Billy. Billy has insisted he would never engage directly with fans online and said his wife Pamela Stephenson, 75, is also being impersonated online as part of the scam. The Glasgow-born comic said his Facebook page is his only active social media account and warned that scammers can use AI to convince people they are in touch with him. In a statement issued on his official website, Billy said: "Dear friends, I have learned that, unfortunately, online scam artists are targeting my fans and supporters. "They are impersonating me, often reaching out to fans soliciting direct messaging. They create multiple deceptive social media and email accounts, and there could well be criminal intent. "For the protection of all my fans and supporters, please be aware of the following: I NEVER interact directly with fans or supporters, and would never suggest they direct message me, meet me, send me money or purchase goods directly. "I do not sell memberships, fan cards, meetings. I will never suggest meeting personally or ask for personal information. "If you are asked for any of the above, it is a scam. My likeness and the sound of my voice can be created by AI so beware. "My wife Pamela is also being impersonated, but please be aware that neither she nor any of my children have public social media accounts or pages. Sir Billy Connolly honoured with BAFTA Fellowship - BAFTAS 2022 "Please be safe everyone. Love and cuddles, Billy." One of his fans online posted: "I've had no less than 12 scammers message me saying they're Billy Connolly. We all know they aren't, I mean they can barely sound coherent, let alone like someone from Scotland. "As long as they're chatting with me, they aren't stealing money from vulnerable people. There's a special place in hell for scammers." Another follower said she had been contacted by someone pretending to be one of Billy's daughters after she posted a comment on a fan page. Earlier this year it was revealed a scammer had tricked a French woman into believing she was dating Brad Pitt, before persuading her to part with almost £700,000 using AI images and videos. Billy retired from stand-up after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He discovered he had the illness 13 years ago after a doctor spotted him walking strangely through the lobby of a hotel in Los Angeles. He moved to Florida from his previous home in New York after doctors advised him to live in a warmer climate.
