For years people have been pretending to be porn stars, scamming their fans out of money. But lately, there’s a new twist on the scam game, and that’s a guy pretending to be the CEO of AVN.com, Tony Rios. He’s contacting girls on Whatsapp, Telegram and sending out Emails saying he is the AVN CEO and offering them bookings or a leg up at the upcoming AVN Awards.
Tony took to Twiter to let performers know it’s not him and to warn them not to fall for the conman’s tricks.
If you are contacted by the fake Tony Rios (and the fake Greg Lansky is making the rounds again too), you should simply, block and then report him.
In the meantime, you can follow the real Tony Rios from AVN on Twitter at @avnTony and while you’re at it, be sure and follow us on Twitter at @Fleshbot.
