Nigerian actress, Bimpe Akintunde, has blown hot, over an alleged scammer impersonating her to defraud people.

The actress shared screenshots of the scammer's messages, while revealing that the scammer is a man, who has been using her picture as a means to deceive and defraud people of their hard-earned money.

She expressed immense disdain, noting that she has been doing her best to build her brand and public image as an actress, and someone just comes out of the blue to tarnish her image. She further informed her fans and netizens to be careful of that account, while imploring them to report the WhatsApp and Opay accounts of the impersonator.
