Sanya Lopez warns public about scammer pretending to be her, asking for donations

Sanya Lopez has warned the public about a scammer pretending to be her on a messaging application.

In Aubrey Carampel's report on "24 Oras," Monday, Sanya said the culprit is using her name and photo to ask for donations for an outreach program.

Sanya told everyone to be vigilant and make sure to confirm identities before believing anything.

"Sa lahat po ng mga chinat nung scammer, hindi po ako iyon. Malinaw po OK, malinaw po hindi ako iyon, huwag po kayo magbigay agad-agad ng tulong my goodness," she said.

"Tawagan n'yo, i-video call niya kayo kailangan mukhang-mukha ko, OK. Hindi po talaga ako 'yun at hindi po ako hihingi basta-basta ng tulong. Huwag po kayo maniwala sa scammer my gosh ang dami ng naloko may mga mag-send na please huwag po," she added.

Sanya recently went on to Bali, Indonesia for a quick break from taping "Pulang Araw," where she currently stars as aspiring bodabil star Teresita Borromeo.

The series also stars Barbie Forteza, David Licauco, Alden Richards, and Dennis Trillo.

"Pulang Araw" airs weeknights on GMA Prime at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." It is also streaming on Netflix.
