This is a video that is pain full to watch back and it is for good reason, that I thought as a content creator I wouldn't fall for scams such as this one.  As a fairly famous mid level actor reached out to me through an new account on Intergram and  as the actor has a reputation for reaching out to fans we see that I thought it was , however we see that it was easy to see looking back how easily I was duped into thinking that it was the actor that I admire.  What set off red flags for my support team though was that it was a new IG account so it had now followers and no blue checks, it wasn't a platform that the person uses often and he is very anti social media.  As well as not responding to an email that I sent to him and then getting offended when I asked why he couldn't and his excuse was his management don't like him answering his own email's.  We see that this is a red flag as he could easily set up a Gmail account that is his personally for fan mail, however
