*Gospel artist Kurt Carr
is a victim of a cyber hoax. His identity was stolen by a scam artist
through use of fake social media pages, email addresses and a Google voice
number in order to contact fellow musicians, preachers, fans and promoters to
steal money.
The scam artist even used Carr’s identity to scam fans and church leaders
with a private petition from an African charity, which doesn’t exist.
He turned this information over to police investigators. He’s been working
with authorities to find out who is behind these scams.
“It is unbelievable to think that someone would
attempt to use my identity to contact people in an effort to scam them. I am
working with authorities to ensure that the scam artist is uncovered and faces
the necessary consequences,” he said.
Any contact from Carr that’s not from his official Twitter, Facebook or
Instagram accounts via @TheKurtCarr isn’t
real and should be reported as fraud immediately.
For Carr’s personal friends and colleagues, he hasn’t changed his phone
number or email address. Any contact outside of these usual contacts are
fraudulent as well.
