Fans responded by thanking Ronan for the warning and sharing their own stories of the fake pages.
“They’re professional scammers. They set up accounts for lots of celebrities sending the same kind of DM’s to all their fans. They want money or iTunes/Amazon/etc gift cards,” one explained.
Some fans even admitted that they believed the accounts were really him.
“I got a request the other day. I was so happy as I love Boyzone and was really gutted about it being fake,” another follower said.
