Omarion put out a public service announcement after a fan of his was fooled into thinking she was betrothed to the “Ice Box” vocalist.
Simone recently featured on Dr. Phil, where she revealed the individual she connected with on the web who had her convinced she was romantically involved with the one and only Omarion. The woman said the singer's “manager wants me to pay $3,000 to meet him,” Billboard reported.
Simone never encountered the man in person since they initially began talking in October 2020. Yet, she said yes when he requested her to get married and accepted that Omarion was gifting her with an engagement ring.
So far, the woman spent $300 on a bogus fan club membership for Omarion and had her friend transmit around $4,500 throughout the duration of their association with the online fraudster. Simone and her friend approached Dr. Phil for aid in deciding if the woman was being misled by someone taking advantage of her money and time.
“Think about how you would feel after receiving a direct message from a superstar after commenting on their fan page,
” Dr. Phil shared in a trailer of the episode.
“In any case, as indicated by the FTC, if you get a message all of a sudden from a celebrity, it’s likely a scam.”

Omarion also appeared in the episode to give a message to the audience about falling for scams presented by people pretending to be a celebrity. He also took to his Instagram Story to caution his fans about being “smart” against catfishers who are impersonating him online.
“Be wise family,” Omarion wrote after the episode aired. “So many people have stories saying they spoke with me online.
”
“I don’t exploit people. I appreciate and revere people who back me.”
