I have been contacted by an account claiming to be Ana De Armas. The profile image for her page is a green capital A.
She subsequently sent me a business message via messenger after I posted a comment about one of her recent films Blade Runner.
After a short texting exchange, she asked me to reach out to her via a dodgy Telegram link she shared with me, even though I have already installed the app.
Believing the link to be a scam I didn’t download.
cheers
