Outlander star Sam Heughan is warning fans against another fake profile trying to use his charity to scam people out of money.
The 38-year-old Scottish actor took to social media to hit out at the fake account – sharing the warning on his Instagram story.
Posting a screenshot of the scam page, he wrote: “Seriously? These people have no shame. Report and block.”

He then shared a fan’s experience with the fake account – with the sick scammers using Heughan’s ‘My Peak Challenge’ as a ploy to get faithful fans to hand over their cash.
The fan told Heughan: “I found a personal Facebook account of yours and I sent message there to tell you that you are a good actor already.
“I received a message back and started talking. Maybe it was stupid of me to believe that you would respond to someone like me, but I had no further intentions.

“At one point he started talking about your peak challenge and whether I wanted to donate.
“I indicated that I did want that, soon he wanted to send me a PayPal link so that I could transfer the money right away. Then my doubts began.”
Exposing the account, Heughan added: “Please be careful. I will never do this”.
We previously told how Scotland’s favourite period drama released the first sneak peek of the new season.
Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe have given fans a glimpse of what to expect in season five – with a snap showing character Jamie Fraser gazing into the eyes of Claire.
Season five will be based on The Fiery Cross, the fifth book in Diana Gabaldon’s series. It will follow the Frasers in colonial America as they build their new life.
