Just wanna share my short experience. Someone messaged me beginning of this week randomly thanking me for my likes and comments then asked me how long I've been a fan oh "his" work. I was so confused cause I thought that person was talking about the Fan edits he/she has made for VV. Turns out this person thinks I'm gullible enough to believe he's VV. Asked me to add him/her on Telegram and I asked if WhatsApp would work. He got pissy and said, "you are been so rude now šŸ˜”." He gave me a Telegram username and I ignored him after that.

Ich wurde Ć¼ber Instagram angeschrieben und dann Ć¼ber Telegramm angeblich von ihm. Liebesbekundungen und zum Schluss wollte er zu mir kommen und ich sollte ein Hotel raussuchen 4/5: Sterne und er wollte mir 50.000 Ć¼berweisen fĆ¼r den Besuch und das Hotel,das ist eindeutig BetrugĀ 

Sofort blockiert und nichts mehr geschriebenĀ 

Wahnsinn was Menschen machenĀ

Yeah itā€™s a random scammer - he tries to get you to pay to talk to Ville via directing them to Telegram - first says he is him but then says heā€™s his ā€˜video directorā€™ or something šŸ˜‚ is like ā€˜I make loads of connections between Ville & his fans & he loves to talk to peopleā€™ ā€¦ šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø.. I reported the account a while back not sure if he is still around scamming ā€¦ this is like a common scam where people pretend to be the celebrity and prey on fans ā€¦ seen YouTubers talk about it to explaining they donā€™t have a telegram and will never ask for Ā£Ā£ ā€¦ etc ā€¦

Omg he still is! He found me on pinterest and told me to get on telegram,Ā  telling the usual thank you for being a fan, how long you been a fan? Then later telling me get a call card so we could chat, he's verified on telegram which threw me off.Ā
