“SCAM ALERT! Person(s) unknown have used my name to front a false charity, which is sending out messages from me, offering a large sum of money and asking you to respond to [email protected], THIS IS NOT ME and it is not my email address,” she began her message.
The Mobland star went on to warn her fans to be wary of this scam and not to engage with the imposter.
“Please beware and do not respond, this is a scam. The original message came from [email protected] and referred to a genuine charity Look For The Stars to claim authenticity. Please keep alert – Many thanks Helen,” ended her caption.
In an attempt to make sure she got her warning across, Mirren also had a photo of her caption in the post.

Unfortunately, Mirren isn’t the first famous face to have dealt with this issue. The internet and social media have made it easier for scammers to take advantage of people, especially those looking to connect with their favorite Hollywood stars.
Mirren’s warning comes as she and fans learned that Mobland has been renewed for Season 2.
