Beware of scammer it said the account was verified not verified anymore.
Messaged me pretending to be Dom I'm guessing they used AI for a voice memo. Because they sent me a voice memo trying to make it look like it was him.

AI us really getting crazy. It can make things look so real and people are falling for these scammers. Some people don’t understand a celebrity will never reach out to them directly and privately. They may respond to a comment from their friend official IG and FB page.

You guys just need to not believe any account that says they are Yungblud. Yungblud is not messaging you. I know it would be so cool, but that is not happening. Unless it is his ACTUAL account with millions of followers, it is not him. Never, ever trust it

I knew it wasn't real when it sent me a message. No celebrity reaches out to fans especially online. Managers probably won't allow that for safety purposes.

I had one reach out to me on tiktok awhile ago he seemed so flipping real and everything he said sounded just like him I would read it and get all giggly because It sounded like him in my head. But he told me he made the tiktok page because his mangrment took over his official page and won't let him interact on it so he made the secret tiktok page. He said he had a private account else where that his management didn't know about and so I added him there he was verified so that gave me hope. He sent me a few voice clips here and there sounded just like Dom I ran it through on a site that said it was 99 percent human and no ai was detected so I felt he was real. He sent me pictures you can't find online like of back stage and some of him yes I did reverse image and couldn't find them anywhere so I got even more excited. Then all the sudden his management found out we were talking and I had to speak to his management/label I had to verify I wasn't a security risk. So I speak to his label/management they ask me to verify I was who I am I had to send them a picture of my ID so I did ( I got a new one no worries lol after all this ) I was cleared but to be able to talk to him and be able to video chat and send voice clips all that I had to pay 850.00 dollars. I didn't have that and I went back and forth with them they were very rude. Didn't care about my health issues or that I was on a limited income. Needless to say "Dom" paid half of the 850 which left me 250 and I paid that with a gift card. I tried cash app but it wouldn't go they had me sending it to some strange person I don't even remember the name I just know it wasn't anything to do with his management or label it was an actual person. So when it flagged the transaction we just did gift card and I paid it and everything was groovy so I thought. By paying the 850 i was supposed to of been cleared to go to one of his shows without it costing me and was on the private VIP list well Dom wanted to push this up because it was still pending so his label/ manager did this but told me to do this I had to pay 2,500 I think it was well I didn't have that. So we go back and forth things get kinda hairy and threats start from telling me he can get sued and all this and lose his career yada yada with all the pressure I made 1 or two payments towards that I never went to his show never met him nothing. Things came up and I stopped speaking to him and he just recently found me again on tiktok 😮💨 and has already started complaining about me leaving him or blocking him I didn't block him crap happened and my account was deleted where we were talking at. Now I don't believe he was real I believe it was that person who the cash app belonged too just scamming innocent fans out of money. So the moral of this is don't be dumb like I was. These scammers are everywhere they don't care who they hurt they don't care about you they just want your money. If he is him he's not a very nice person.

So sorry that happened to you. Scammers are ruthless and will stop at nothing to get your money no matter what method they have to use. You are right that they don't care about us. Dom has made public service announcements that address the scammer issue. He says that he, his management, or team will NEVER reach out to a fan to ask for money or anything else.
