Sam Heughan has warned fans of catfish scammers using fake profiles to message fans and ask for money online.
The Outlander star hit out at trolls pretending to be him on various social media platforms including Twitter, instagram and WhatsApp.
The actor, 41, urged fans to be careful online and said he would 'never ask for money' or reach out to people on messages.
Sharing a post on his Instagram stories, Sam wrote: "Please be careful on social media. So many scammers.
"I will never reach out or message on Instagram/Twitter/Whatsapp/Google hangout/etc or ask for money.
"If it's not verified it's not me."
It's not the first time the Outlander star, who plays Jamie Fraser, has been targeted by fake trolls online with scammers conning fans out of thousands of pounds.
Multiple women have been tricked into thinking they were speaking to the actor, with one particular fan losing her life savings.
A 56-year-old nurse from Florida, Stephanie, has told how she too handed over cash – £36,500.
The mum thought she had been in an online relationship with Heughan since 2018.
Another woman was duped into sending £34,000 after being told the money would be invested in Heughan’s whisky brand Sassenach Spirits.
Sam has spoken out about the trolls numerous times after he received death threats that were affecting his life and his mental state.
He said: "After the past 6 years of constant bullying, harassment, stalking and false narrative I am at a loss, upset, hurt and have to speak out. It's affecting my life, mental state and is a daily concern.
"My co stars, friends, family, myself, in fact anyone I am associated with, has been subjected to personal slurs, shaming, abuse, death threats, stalking, sharing of private information and vile, false narrative."
He said: "Recently, these false claims vary from me manipulating fans, being a closet-homosexual, trying to mislead or exhort fans for money and disregarding Covid advice. I’ve done none of the above.
"These bullies have created a false narrative, shared private information and abused my loved ones and I, consistently for the last six years on blogs and SM."
