Woman Scammed By A Fake Alan Jackson

Just another reminder: If a big-name celeb reaches out to you asking for money . . . there’s a 100% chance it’s not really them.

A 76-year-old woman in Georgia is out thousands of dollars after “Alan Jackson” asked for a loan. It obviously wasn’t the real Alan Jackson.

She told cops that the scam started last June after she posted something about the singer on Facebook. Someone claiming to be his manager messaged her and said they’d put her in touch with him. She thought she was talking to the real Alan Jackson for months. Then in October, he started asking her to send him Apple gift cards.

He said he needed the money because he was going through a divorce, and his assets were frozen. For the record, Alan is NOT getting divorced. He and his wife Denise have been married since 1979.

The woman ended up sending 36 Apple gift cards totaling $2,917. Obviously, cops would love to catch the person, but probably won’t.
