Member Yggdrasil Posted October 25, 2023 Member Share Posted October 25, 2023 I noticed that Sammo has a Facebook account which he set up recently in October 2023. I left a few comments and he messaged me on fb, saying that he doesn't like Facebook much to communicate with his fans, and do I have an email address, which I gave him. His latest email suggested moving to Google chat as he's having problems with gmail and his 'technician' advised google chat. Red flags and alarm bells are already sounding. Does anyone else message him on his Facebook account or leave comments? Mike Leeder is very pally with Sammo. Any way to get a hold of Mike and ask him if this Facebook of Sammo is the real deal, or just another fan based fake profile? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any way to get a hold of Mike and ask him if this Facebook of Sammo is the real deal, or just another fan based fake profile? I had an almost similar misadventure with someone on the Jackie Chan's Club Facebook page. There was a link to supposedly communicate with Jackie Chan. We exchanged some messages on Messenger, and then he told me that he could offer me a card member for his fan club which would allow me to benefit of a lot of things... 500 $ ! Of course, I refused, and began to ask him for some precise things. He told me that he spoke Spanish, so, I wrote to him in Spanish. Then, I asked him for something using Chinese characters, and of course, I never got any answer right after these two messages. I mentioned him on the Facebook page and several people then said that they had had the same experience... So, as you say, red flags and prudence !!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Karlos Posted October 25, 2023 Moderator Share Posted October 25, 2023 A friend of mine recently befriended who he thought was a famous singer on FB. Turned out to be a scam. So, yeah, you're doing the right thing @Yggdrasilby proceeding with caution! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yggdrasil Posted October 25, 2023 Member Share Posted October 25, 2023 I don't mind sharing the email with you lot. All I'd say is his English is far too perfect. You'd at least expect some broken English in there. I can forgive the American spelling of 'favourite' when it used to be a British colony. It just seems so dodgy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo's other fb page is from 2013, but not been updated since then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Karlos Posted October 25, 2023 Moderator Share Posted October 25, 2023 It seems very off to me. If it ever asks you for info, or money, then you know for sure it's a scam! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say with almost 110% certainty that the text @Yggdrasil shared is AI generated, likely using a few guiding prompts and whatever the previous messages were as the input, with the goal of transitioning the potential victim to download Google Chat (which is likely their preferred platform to execute the scam). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @One Armed Boxer. It's a shame really. It just puts a negative light on Sammo. So it anyone on here knows @Mike Leeder, who happens to live in Hong Kong, and he's very close to Sammo Hung, then people need to know about this. I noticed the email didn't actually mention anything or ask me questions regarding what I asked him, just mentioning the same thing back to me. Asian delicacies and Filipino jungle. As we know from Leeder's commentary, Sammo had to pay off the NPA comminst rebels in the jungle to assure them that they really are shooting a film. I thought it was a bit strange nothing was mentioned about the dangers in the Filipino jungle. I thought it sounded off. But as soon as it mentioned moving to Google chat, I did some digging online before messenging here for guidance. It did mention that scammers would say thst google play offers better security and privacy for chat. Basically exactly the same words as was mentioned in the email. Afterall, we all like martial-arts and its stars, so the last thing anyone wants is other members to be scammed. This is the profile on fb, so you can look and search. I dislike fb anyway and I'm not active. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted January 31 Member Share Posted January 31 Sammo Hung is looking good for 72, after spending years in one of the toughest movie genres out there old-school Martial Arts Martial Arts cinema. Sure if you could survive and rise to the top of the Peking Opera School as a child/teenager, making films was a lot easier?. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever is running it and impersonating Sammo has clearly other motives. STAY AWAY! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
