<\/p>\nSir Tom Jones has warned fans about an ongoing scam involving fake social media accounts impersonating the legendary Welsh singer and members of his team.<\/p>\n
The 85-year-old\u2019s management issued a statement on Instagram earlier today, alerting followers that fraudsters are actively targeting fans and members of the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegrettably, it has come to our attention there are many fake online profiles impersonating Sir Tom Jones and\/or his team, who are attempting to scam fans and members of the public,\u201d the message read.<\/p>\n
The warning comes amid growing concern over celebrity impersonation scams, with some victims reportedly losing thousands of pounds.<\/p>\n

The statement stressed Sir Tom never communicates directly with individuals through social media platforms.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir Tom DOES NOT personally or directly communicate to individuals via his social channels,\u201d the post said.<\/p>\n
Fans were urged to take immediate action if contacted by any account claiming to represent the singer or his management.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a fake profile tries to chat to you privately, report and block them. This will NOT be Sir Tom Jones or his team,\u201d the warning continued.<\/p>\n

Sir Tom\u2019s team said they were deeply concerned about scammers deliberately targeting vulnerable people online.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is sad and disheartening to hear of these scammers attempting to trap and abuse vulnerable people, so please be careful and stay safe online,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n
The message was posted as a black screen with red text and shared to the singer\u2019s Instagram story to maximise its reach.<\/p>\n
Fans of the It\u2019s Not Unusual singer were quick to respond with messages of support in the comments.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes I have seen sooo many,\u201d one follower wrote, while another said: \u201cNice one Tom, well said.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease be careful people. Come out of your delusion, Tom Jones does not want to know you or communicate privately with you. No celebrity does,\u201d one user warned.<\/p>\n
Others shared their own experiences of reporting fake profiles, with one joking: \u201cSo I shouldn\u2019t send sexbomb69 my bank details?\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the National Fraud Helpline, this type of deception is becoming increasingly common, with fraudsters routinely adopting celebrity personas.<\/p>\n
Sir Tom\u2019s team reiterated that any private messages claiming to be from the singer or his representatives should be treated as fraudulent.<\/p>\n
This is not the first time the issue has been addressed by Sir Tom\u2019s management.<\/p>\n
A similar warning was issued across his Instagram and X accounts in November 2024, clarifying that the singer only operates verified profiles on Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.<\/p>\n
The scams have already claimed victims, including a woman in her nineties from the New Forest who lost \u00a313,000 in 2024 after communicating with someone posing as Sir Tom.<\/p>\n
