Popular crossdresser and socialite, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, better known as Bobrisky, has claimed he recently fell victim to an online romance scam, losing $990 in the process.
In a post on his Instagram on Sunday, Bobrisky expressed shock and disappointment over the incident, admitting he never imagined being deceived by such a scheme.
According to Bobrisky, the scammer had been in contact with him for several months, claiming to live in the United States before relocating to Canada.
Throughout their interaction, the scammer kept up regular communication, calling frequently and pretending to be genuinely interested in Bobrisky’s life.
“I never thought in my life I would be a client to anybody. This guy came into my DM, and we’ve been talking for almost a few months now. He calls me almost every day. He said he lived in the USA but moved to Canada,” he wrote.
The situation took a turn when a client from the U.S. contacted Bobrisky for an advertisement and wanted to make a deposit via CashApp. Bobrisky then asked the supposed lover for help receiving the payment.
“Few weeks later, someone in the USA reached out for ads. She said she needed a Cash App to pay her deposit, and I asked this guy talking to me. He said he would give me his own. As soon as he got the money, he blocked me immediately,” he explained.
Bobrisky also shared screenshots of their chats and a photo of the alleged scammer on his Instagram page, cautioning his followers to stay vigilant and avoid falling for similar scams.
