Viewers of Virgin River have been targeted by a fraudulent scheme on Facebook, as a deceitful account has successfully deceived fans on various social media platforms.
While eagerly anticipating the release of Virgin River Season 6, there isn’t much for fans to do. The filming is still in progress and there is no confirmed release date. Apart from playing Netflix’s in-app game or searching for any potential leaks, the only solace for fans is each other’s company.
Nevertheless, there are some individuals who have gone even further by impersonating Martin Henderson (the actor who portrays Jack) on Facebook, resulting in numerous fans being deceived.
A Reddit user expressed their frustration, stating, “Has anyone encountered this ‘Martin Henderson’ account on Facebook pages? I am aware that the real MH has confirmed these accounts are not him, but I believe they are deceiving people into thinking they are the genuine Martin!”
“Not only do they make the outrageous claim of ‘you will message me if you are truly my fan!’, but they also resort to threatening people. The true Martin would never stoop to such tactics. It is unfortunate for those who are being deceived by this. How disheartening.”
It is indeed true that a simple Facebook search is all it takes to uncover the accounts behind the scam. Surprisingly, a significant number of these accounts are posing as the Virgin River star.
Certain pages may pose insignificant questions to their followers, like whether Henderson should get a tattoo, or they may seek compliments. In fact, one page has even gone to the extent of promising to release Virgin River Season 6 ahead of schedule if they receive a satisfactory level of engagement.
Some Facebook users have begun exposing the fraudulent pages in the comments section, as seen when one fan commented: “I’m tired of all these scams. This is not you.”Despite this, the imposter posing as Henderson has urged followers to send direct messages, claiming to be the genuine person.
Despite the majority of the Facebook scam centering on seemingly innocent conversations, there are some pages that have taken a more sinister approach. These pages, using a misspelling of Henderson’s name, have been created for the purpose of offering fans exclusive access to him and content from Virgin River through private chats.
The fan claims to have invested in pages using cryptocurrency and even bought one of his NFTs, stating, “He admitted to me that he made a mistake when creating the account, but it is definitely him. His insights on cryptocurrency have been extremely beneficial and profitable.”
“Regrettably, it appears that you may have been the victim of a scam. Please exercise caution. Let’s hope that is not the situation.”
@martin_hendersonofficial I. Do. Not. Have. Another. Account!!!! I will never message anyone from any other account or platform. Ever. Nor will any of my management or representatives. Sadly there are multiple fraudulent accounts that are posing as myself or my team and targeting my followers to try and scam them. Regrettably this keeps happening and we are doing what we can to shut these accounts down if and when we become aware of them. But there is no way to stop them from reappearing so please, NEVER engage with any other account claiming to be me or my associates. It is a SCAM and these assholes have taken money from unsuspecting people. I will continue to do what I can but please pass this on to anyone whom you think might’ve already been contacted or may be vulnerable in the future. And I ask if you’d please report any such accounts as fraudulent to Instagram for review and deletion. Thanks #scam #becearfull #martinhenderson #management #tiktok
The cast member of Virgin River has recently addressed the increase of fake accounts, using TikTok to clarify that he has only one account on the platform and one on Instagram.
At the moment, Henderson is in the midst of filming additional episodes, which will focus on Mel and Jack’s journey as parents and their possible wedding.
