Ronan Keating warns fans of people impersonating him as part of online scam

THE FORMER Boyzone singer has warned fans of being conned out of money by people pretending to be him.

The news comes just a week after Keating's daughter suffered a bad fall from a horse, breaking multiple bones in her fall.

Last weekend Ali had her first show on her new pony ,Red. After a cruel turn of events Ali ended up in hospital on Tuesday after a fall from him. (Not his fault) Just home today. She’s now out of the saddle for 8-10 weeks and missing lots of competitions we had coming up. To say she is devastated is an understatement. 💔 After hours of surgery to repair broken bones she hopes to come back stronger. #bionicwoman #brave #red @_alikeating_ #horses #pony

Keating appealed to his 539,000 followers to disregard any request for money from accounts under his name, reminding them that his social mediapages bear his verified blue tick beside his name.

Hey a few people telling me there are impersonators on social media pretending to be me trying to scam people out of money etc. It’s not me. My insta and Twitter have official blue ticks. 👍
