Fans are urged to report and block private messages from accounts claiming to be the singer.

Overview

  • Jones’ management posted a new advisory on Instagram on January 9, 2026, calling the impersonation scam “sad and disheartening.”
  • The statement stresses that Jones does not personally contact individuals via social media and instructs followers to report and block any private approaches.
  • Reports cite real losses, including a woman in her nineties who was defrauded of £13,000 in 2024 by someone posing as the singer.
  • His team previously issued a similar notice in November 2024 and says he only uses verified profiles on Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.
  • The National Fraud Helpline warns that fraudsters frequently pose as celebrities or use fake endorsements to steal from the public.
