In answer to your question, no. because I wouldn't be drawn into anything fake or a scam. If I haven't requested it, then I don't want it.

Likewise - WHY would anyone be drawn in by a 'trusted celeb'?  Why would you trust a celeb?  Most/some of them have such a 'colourful' life that I wouldn't trust them further than I could throw them....

Reforming social media is the answer. Does more harm than good. Gullible people will always get sucked into scams.

Yup as always a numbers game... If 1 in 500 fall for it, the numbers soon stack up.

The gullible will be sucked in no matter what.  Doesn't matter if it's a celeb or a good sales person.
