    Johnny Depp has warned his fans of the dangers posed by "online scammers"

    The 61-year-old actor has taken to social media to wish his fans a happy New Year and to warn them of "deceptive social media and email accounts" that are "impersonating" him


    Johnny wrote on Instagram: "Happy New Year, Everyone -

    "Sadly, it has been brought to my attention that online scammers are intensifying their efforts to target my fans and supporters. As part of their tactics, they create multiple, deceptive social media and email accounts impersonating me and members of my team.

    "Today, AI can create the illusion of my face and voice. Scammers may look and sound just like the real me. But, neither I, nor my team, will ask you for money or your personal information.

    "We are actively working to combat these illicit schemes. (sic)"

    Johnny then listed the handles of his official accounts on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

    The Hollywood star - who has more than 28 million followers on Instagram - noted that he doesn't "interact directly with fans on any social media platforms, via email, or via chat-based platforms".

    His posted continued: "I am not on X/Twitter, Snapchat, or Discord

    "I do not offer paid meetings, phone calls, club memberships, or fan cards. If you are ever asked for any money for a meeting, call, membership, or fan card, it is a scam.

    "I do not interact directly with fans on any social media platforms, via email, or via chat-based platforms like Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal or Zangi.

    "Again, neither myself, my team, my agent, nor my family will ever contact you on my behalf asking for money or your personal information.

    "JD and team.X (sic)"
