The singer has urged his fans to remain vigilant against scammers this festive season.
Daniel O’Donnell has urged his fans to beware of scammers this festive season.
This comes as the singer revealed he himself had been targeted by fraudsters.
The Donegal man has been targeted before, with scammers often using his name to get money from his unsuspecting, elderly fanbase.
The latest scam has seen fraudsters impersonating the singer on popular messaging sites, offering their victims fake deals.
Daniel highlighted the issue in the latest edition of his fan club magazine.
Fan club secretary, Suzanne Fiordelisi, warned readers: “I just want to remind and advise all fans to be aware of communicating online and on social media. We are still receiving emails from fans thinking Daniel has contacted them via WhatsApp and Messenger.
“Daniel would never be sending any direct messages via these apps, nor would Daniel be asking for money/Apple Gifts Cards or any other means of currency,” she added.
Additionally, Ms Fiordelisi also stressed that she runs the only official Daniel O’Donnell fan club, before adding: “We do not offer any other rates to join the fan club, nor do we offer VIP packages nor any special membership cards.
“Please be aware as there are unfortunately people out there ready to act in a fraudulent manner,” she concluded.
