Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza is no stranger when it comes to issues of frauds and scams. Previously, the singer called out an online seller for using pics of her and her husband for promotional purposes. She had also issued a stern warning against a few Facebook users for using her name and image for dubious purposes.
Yesterday (Monday, 15th August), TokTi took to her socials to once again to warn all her fans and followers against several fake social media accounts claiming to be her. In the post, she also emphasised that this isn’t the first time she has warned the people regarding the matter.
“Actually, I have told social media users many times about using my photos online. Some have even used pictures of my husband to scam others. This time, I come up with this video to remind the public to be more alert of the scams committed by unscrupulous parties. They’ve done a lot of things with my photos. Others even used my videos for people to guess the numbers in order to win cash prizes,” Siti said.
The “Nirmala” singer went on and added, “There was also this ad that claimed that my husband (Datuk Khalid Jiwa) had used their shampoo products (to cure his hair loss problems). In actual fact, the photo (showing his bald head) was taken when he had just returned from his ‘umrah’ trip. Not only that, some of my photos were also used in investment ads, ridiculous articles, and so forth.”
TokTi then concluded her lengthy post by saying, “I really hope my explanation can bring awareness so that we won’t be fooled. It’s not easy for people to hand out their cash, so why would they use my videos (to scam others)? From here, we already know their tricks to deceive the public.”
Fans of the legendary singer also took to the comments section to call the scammers out. Some even advised TokTi to take legal action against them. Others also commended Siti for her cool response towards the incident.
