According to a report by GMA Network, the disturbing information reached Gino through several concerned individuals who bravely flagged the fraudulent activities.
Completely appalled by the blatant deception, he immediately took to his official Instagram account to set the record straight and protect potential victims from falling into this cruel digital trap.
Addressing his massive online following, Gino made it crystal clear that he has absolutely zero involvement in these shady transactions.
“Just got word from a couple of people that someone has been using my identity and pretending to be me for auditions, transactions, and other matters,” he urgently shared with his supporters.
Pleading with his fans and aspiring actors to exercise extreme caution, he firmly stated, “Please be vigilant. Do not send money, personal information, materials, or entertain any request from anyone claiming to be me.”
To entirely shut down any lingering doubts about his official casting protocols, he passionately added, “I would NEVER personally ask for money, payments, or conduct auditions or transactions through unofficial accounts.”
Known for directing visually captivating movies like 'Lila' and 'Love Me Tomorrow,' the beloved filmmaker is doing everything in his power to stop these bold impostors in their tracks.
He strongly encouraged the public to immediately screenshot suspicious messages and report the fake accounts to the proper platform authorities.
Born in 1989, Gino M. Santos is an acclaimed Filipino filmmaker, producer, and educator. After graduating from De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde and training globally, he earned widespread recognition for his award-winning films like The Animals and #Y. His distinct cinematic projects have been continuously celebrated across major local and international film festivals.
It can also be recalled that actress Aubrey Miles also joined the growing list of prominent personalities battling online fraud. The actress previously took to Instagram to publicly denounce scammers targeting her household. The fitness enthusiast revealed a highly concerning scheme where unverified packages and parcels that she never actually ordered were being delivered directly to her doorstep. Expressing deep alarm over the recurring security breach, she noted that these fraudulent deliveries initially occurred at her Laguna property before happening again at her Antipolo residence. Thoroughly baffled and frustrated by the ongoing modus, Aubrey openly questioned the identity and true motives of the individuals orchestrating these bogus shipments.
Similarly taking a strong stand against digital identity theft, music icon Ogie Alcasid utilized his official social media platforms to alert fans about a deceptive Facebook impersonator. The veteran singer-songwriter pointed out that this fake account, operating under the simplified moniker "Ogie A.," had already managed to deceive thousands of users into following its fabricated updates. The brazen impersonator went as far as spreading a malicious and completely untrue medical rumor, falsely stating that the It’s Showtime mainstay was suffering from tuberculosis. To swiftly curb the spread of this dangerous misinformation, Ogie politely appealed to his loyal supporters to help him mass-report the fraudulent page and have it permanently taken down.
