![]() I came across an 'Foo Fighters Official' account on IG. There are for example pics of Dave with a capture saying 'Finally a good photo of me hahaha'. They are clearly pretending to be the real deal if you check the photos and captions.

![]() I always report the fakers.......and I will continue to do so.....especially where these fake accounts are conning people out of money for fake meet and greets. Its disgusting that these people prey on fans desire to meet the band.
Name and shame is the name of the game.

![]() I don't know if this is the same fake Pat or a new one but the account's been messaging people telling them "he" is in LA attending fan meetings - http://instagram.com/pat.smear.official
They're finding fans through the official accounts.

![]() Don't do the real members have Instagram accounts? And if they do, they should have the check button sign next to their names for verification, right?
Sorry, I deleted my Instagram now so I can't check. |

Nate Chris Rami I'm not sure about hawkinshair or taylor_hawkins on IG - both are followed by a few people in the band's circle, but they post pics that are either from Hawkins Hair on Twitter (confirmed to be real) or easily Googled. So without any personalized content, we'll say they're fake. Dave does not have a personal, public IG account. None. Nada.

![]() Another fake Pat....I messed with this one to see what he would say and he sent me a message....
"Hello sarah, Your ideal day with Mr Pat would be his arrival at your residence before noon,You will have a personal time with him, private lunch, a candle lit dinner later that day as he gets to sign your autographs and you take pictures together. Plans have already been put in place to this effect. The sum of $1000 Will be required to set up all necessary arrangements for the meeting as a date will be given to you upon payment of the stated sum.A confirmatory email as to whether this goes down well with you would be appreciated. Am deeply sorry for the delay in response to your mail, you can now reach Mr pat on his new instagram handle @Pat.smear.official Thanks." Sounds just like the real Pat ![]() ![]() ![]() I reported it to IG and FF

![]() At least the message is so poorly written and unbelievable (candle lit dinner?!) you'd hope people would realise it was a con, and this isn't really a representative of "Mr Pat".

![]() If you report them to me via email or facebook/Instagram the management company has a direct contact vs. people reporting them the old fashioned way. If it's done quickly we can do it. You can also @foofighters on Twitter. They pay attention.

![]() I tweeted @foofighters and they messaged me back very quickly to say they were on it. They do listen and they do take action.
