Alex Scott sends warning to fans over FAKE Instagram accounts being made in her name as she blasts ‘annoying scam’
ALEX SCOTT sent a warning to her fans over FAKE Instagram accounts being made in her name and blasted the “annoying scam”.
The ex-Arsenal and England star, 39, insisted she has just one Insta handle and urged followers to ignore any others posing as her.
Speaking on her verified @alexscott2 account, she said: “I’m getting quite a lot of messages – thank you for actually sending me the messages.
“I keep having fake IG accounts made in my name which is so annoying because I keep having to go and report them and they put up another one.
“So just to let you all know that I only have one real IG account. The one which has a blue tick – wahey – so you know it’s me.
“I don’t have any ones the side, no ones for family and friends, just the one.
“So please don’t follow or press the link that it says to buy my book on those other ones because it’s all a scam. Scam, scam, scam.
“So just wanted to let you all know. And thanks for all sending me the messages to let me know that these people keep trying to do this, which is so annoying.”
Scott released her book, How (Not) To Be Strong, in 2022 and it chronicles her life and career.
The former footballer – who made 140 international appearances and scored 12 goals – retired in 2017.

Scott also recently went public with partner Jess Glynne and the happy couple holidayed in Mexico.
The pair are believed to have been officially dating since November.
