While the number of people opening fake accounts in the names of famous figures is increasing, celebrities are also taking steps to combat these fake accounts. Most recently, scammers targeting singer Yıldız Tilbe have created fake accounts on social media using her name.
The famous singer warned her fans about these fake accounts, and her lawyer announced that they have initiated legal proceedings against these individuals. Yıldız Tilbe is experiencing significant issues with fake social media accounts featuring blue verification ticks. Tilbe's lawyer, Handan Bakbak, confirmed the situation and stated that the legal process against the scammers has been initiated.
'SHE IS A FORTHRIGHT AND OPEN-HEARTED ARTIST'
Lawyer Bakbak stated, 'Our client, who has been struggling for years both humanely and legally against many fake accounts opened in her name and against manipulative, malicious, and sick keyboard warriors, is an artist who has become a public figure from 7 to 70, has social sensitivity, is interested in all kinds of current problems and troubles of our country and our people, is devoted to her country and her people, has spiritual values, is faithful but apolitical, above parties, sincere, forthright, and open-hearted.'
'ACCOUNTS THAT DO NOT BELONG TO HER'
Warning the singer's fans about posts made through 'blue-ticked' fake accounts opened using Yıldız Tilbe's name, her lawyer Bakbak said, 'We have urgently initiated complaints and substantiated legal proceedings regarding the strange, inappropriate, and equally unrealistic posts made on social media platforms by individuals who share views, thoughts, feelings, and statements that she would never accept, and who try to incite feelings of anger and hatred by using certain people and names; we ask that you absolutely do not give credence to these posts and do not engage in any response to them.'
