Daniel O'Donnell fans are being warned of a fraudster impersonating him on WhatsApp.
The person is reportedly using the messaging app to ask the singer's fans for bogus charity donations.
According to the Irish Mirror, the scammer is using both Daniel's image and name in a bid to extort money from his followers.
The country music star's fan club magazine is warning people to be on their guard.
"There is currently a person on WhatsApp using an image of Daniel and his name 'Daniel O’Donnell', who is looking for a donation online for seemingly charitable purposes.
Please be aware that this is not Daniel, as Daniel never messages his fans on WhatsApp, and as this person is using Daniel's image to try and get money from unsuspecting followers, this is regarded as fraud.
Anyone who gets a message from this 'rogue Daniel' needs to report it immediately through WhatsApp - as there is an option to do so - to block this person.
Please also be aware that Daniel never goes on Messenger via Facebook, so if you see anything up there which looks like it has come or is coming from Daniel, it’s not."
The 56 year old's management company says it's contacted all fan club members about the scam.
They're still monitoring the situation but believe no one was conned.
