Daniel O’Donnell alerts fans as hackers set up bogus Facebook page

Daniel O’Donnell has taken to Facebook to set the record straight after hackers tried to set up a bogus account using his name. The singer has more than 82,500 followers on his Facebook feed.

The fans receive personal updates from the singer about what himself and his wife Majella are up to. However, the Donegal man has now become the victim of a hacker looking for friend requests to a bogus page.

A message posted yesterday on Mr O’Donnell’s official profile page has asked fans to follow the real page. The message says “Hello friends. It has come to our attention that some of our fans have been receiving friend requests from a false Daniel O’Donnell profile that looks exactly like this official page. This is a fake profile and if you receive a friend request, please report it and delete it immediately.”
