POPULAR DJ George Bowie has warned his fans he believes his Facebook account may have been hacked after his followers were sent messages about a competition.
The radio star took to his Twitter to advise that if anyone was receiving a message from him regarding a competition, it was most likely a scam.
We still don't know what's happened to my Facebook. It's either been hacked or cloned, maybe both! Either way please, please, please DO NOT reply to any messages saying you have won a competition, it is not from me. Please RT so no one gets scammed. This is the post. pic.twitter.com/WE1JKlCDC0
