Country music star Terri Clark is speaking out to protect her fans from a growing problem that’s affecting celebrities across social media. The beloved ’90s country singer took to TikTok with an important message for her followers: if someone claiming to be Terri Clark is messaging you, it’s definitely not her. Scammers have been impersonating the artist to take advantage of unsuspecting fans, and Clark wants everyone to stay safe. Terri Clark Warns Fans About Social Media Scams In her video message, Clark made it crystal clear what fans should watch out for. She emphasized that she makes a good living and would never ask fans for money, personal information, or photos. She won’t promise fans anything or send them private messages requesting favors or funds. “There are some pretty rotten people out there,” Clark said, expressing frustration about the scammers targeting her loyal fan base. The singer stressed that her official social media profiles have a verified blue checkmark, which fans can always confirm by visiting her official website. This verification badge is the easiest way to know you’re following the real Terri Clark. How Can Fans Protect Themselves from Celebrity Scams? Clark’s warning comes as more and more fans report being contacted by fake accounts. The comment section of her video showed just how widespread the problem has become, with fans joking about having dozens of fake “Terri Clark” followers. One fan wrote, “I have at least 30 Terri Clark followers. At least they have good taste.” Another quipped, “So you don’t have oceanfront property that you’re wanting to sale?” The humor helped lighten a serious situation, but the message was clear: these scams are everywhere. Many fans expressed gratitude for the warning. “Thank you for making this post! So many people needed to see and hear this,” one supporter commented. Others shared they’d been followed by multiple fake celebrity accounts, including phony Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert profiles. Stay Safe and Buy Tickets the Right Way Clark also reminded fans about the safest way to purchase concert tickets. She urged people to buy directly from venues or through her official website rather than through social media messages or unverified sellers. The artist’s genuine concern for her fans shone through in her message. She apologized to anyone who had already fallen victim to these scams and made it clear she doesn’t want to see anyone hurt financially or emotionally. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 As one fan noted, “The internet is the most dangerous place.
