Sandra Bullock, the Oscar-winning actress known for roles in films like The Blind Side and The Proposal, has issued a stark warning about social media scams threatening her family's safety. "My family's safety, as well as the innocent people being taken advantage of, is my deep concern," Bullock, 60, said in a recent statement to a news publication. Although she promised further comment at a later date, the actress underscored her commitment to working with law enforcement to resolve the matter.

Bullock stressed that she does not use any social media platforms. "Please be aware that I do not participate in any form of social media," she stated. "Any accounts pretending to be me or anyone associated with me are fake accounts and have been created for financial gain or to exploit people around me." The star's direct statement follows a noticeable uptick in fraudulent profiles purporting to be her or her relatives, luring fans into scams.

Her sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, recently took to Instagram to spotlight the growing problem. "I spend multiple times a day reporting fakes, dealing with weird & scary emails to my BUSINESS and HOME from men who believe that, through one of these many fake 'me's, they have a relationship with my sister," Bullock-Prado wrote in a lengthy post. She also noted that several victims have been conned into sending thousands of dollars to individuals masquerading as Bullock.

To drive home the point, Bullock-Prado shared screenshots of fraudulent Facebook accounts. "This is my only account and y'all know it's about baking, cooking, animals, and gardening," she said, making clear that any additional accounts claiming to be her should be reported and blocked. She further revealed that local law enforcement is already engaged to mitigate potential threats.

Meta, which owns both Facebook and Instagram, has not formally responded to the sisters' concerns. "Strangely, Insta handles these things and even informs me when someone creates an account that may be an imposter," Bullock-Prado said. "But FB? Same company with same tech? Can't be bothered." This criticism highlights what the sisters perceive as inconsistent oversight and rapid response from the social media giant.

Bullock's fans have voiced support in the comments section of Bullock-Prado's post. One follower shared, "I've blocked several of those 'accounts,' but it's like they multiply. I can't imagine being on the receiving end." Others demanded stricter measures from Meta, arguing that the spread of bogus profiles creates not just a nuisance but a risk to personal security.

These revelations underscore a broader trend of scams involving celebrities, with criminals exploiting fan excitement. Recently, a French woman was scammed out of nearly $850,000 by someone posing as actor Brad Pitt. His representative responded by calling the incident "awful" and warning fans against engaging with unverified profiles or unsolicited online outreach.

The actress, who adopted her son Louis in 2010 and daughter Laila in 2015, made clear that her priority is shielding her children from the fallout. She reiterated her plan to defer further public comments until the authorities make headway with their investigation into the fraudulent accounts.
