Beware of fake Mika accounts on Social Media!

I want to tell you that there are people writing private, sometimes very personal messages on my Instagram account. And they think they are writing to Mika!!!!!

It's Ok if they only put a comment under my post.

But yesterday I was receiving a lot of pms and photos from a French woman. She even tried to call me!!!! She was expecting Mika coming to her town and meet her.

I answered her that this is a fan account so Mika will never see her messages.

And she asked me: so which one is his account?

 

This is to show you that for sure people creating fake accounts find naïve fans thinking they are really talking to Mika :blink:

Hello!

Today I have decided to share with all of you some of my followers on Facebook:

And...what about these two?

The last two, in particular, are singulars:

"Mika Musicien" , in his account,  has a link and, througt with, you have access to the real and main Mika site!

"Michael Penniman Hoolbrook" instead has many photos, but they were been all published and shared on the same day! 

What do you think of all this? 

 

How you can see, I'm very sought after by Mika! :naughty::doh:

Well, the music videos, Casa Mika, Zoolander... it's in there! :wink2:

 

I don't think he'd go with that profile pic though. :lmfao:

Love the choice of background photo. A foot in the air. Very Mika. :lmfao:

His name is wrong. 

Err... Single? Andy wants a word... :teehee:

 

Neither are him, neither are official. Even if they link to official sites, they're not trustworthy.

All we can do is keep reporting them.  But it is rather like trying to nail jelly to a wall.

@Hero This is the reason there are so many followers on this account. In reality they are probably, indeed almost certainly, those of Mika and the posts are also the original ones from Mika's Facebook, but this hypothetical "Mika Musicien" does a kind of copy and paste, puts his name on them and republishes them.

From what I can see this is his trick. :dunno::facepalm:

Yes, and please, if you get any messages from any of these fake accounts, take screenshots and send them to me. The more info we have the quicker we can get these phonies shut down. :thumb_yello:

If it's a public page on FB, is there anything to stop us routinely posting "This is not really Mika" in the comments (especially when people have replied)?

Yes we usually put a laugh reaction and answer that this is a fake. For a very very long time I was unable to report Mika's fake accounts on fb any more because his official page was not in the list anymore. Recently I tried again and it worked for me because instead of making you chose the celebrity whose name is being used you now copy/paste the facebook real page/profile address. I'm glad it works again :thumb_yello:

Hello, 

After being at the concert and after making some comments on Official social media, I have received a friendship requests from these accounts:

Something weird on insta. When I report a fake, when asked who they are pretending to be, if I click "celebrity" then type Mikainstagram in the text box, it doesn't show Mika's account as an option. But it used to! 

If I click "someone I follow" and type Mikainstagram, it recognises his account immediately. So why is insta no longer recognising his account as a celebrity?

Weird.

Weird.  

My Instagram recently changed to only two options: "pretending to be me" or "pretending to be someone else." I had the same issue with Mika before that, though, and had to report him as "someone I follow."

 

Sometimes TikTok doesn't recognize Mika's account at all when I go to report :doh: Makes it hard to catch the fakes with all of these issues.

Also, please remember that you should send screenshots of any conversations and links to the accounts to me so I can send along to Mika's team. They do follow up on all of these and get as many fake accounts taken down as they can.

 

Someone recently just reported one to me from Facebook -- the phony Mika was commenting on fans' comments on Mika's FB page, then trying to get them to chat on WhatsApp. After I sent screenshots to Mika's team, that fake account was quickly taken down, but unfortunately I see there are at least two others which have sprouted up in its place.

 

I guess the best thing to do is to keep reporting them, and continue spreading the word to be on guard -- that Mika and his team will not approach fans like this through social media. :dunno:
