Heads Up - Fake Shanks Instagram Account

A quick update.

A few kind folk have raised awareness that there is someone on Instagram pretending to be Michael Shanks.

Operating under the user name “OfficialMichaelShanks” the owner of the account has re-used Michael’s Twitter profile image, linked to this website, and, obviously, has set up the account under the “Official” moniker. Additionally, the user has been contacting people privately and, as “proof” of their “authenticity”, sending a photo of a fake passport page.

Michael DOES NOT post to Instagram.

We will contact Instagram to raise awareness of this fake account. But in the meantime, please ignore any posts - and particularly any private messages you may receive from this account.

Thanks to Marilyn and others who reached out to raise awareness of this issue. Very much appreciated.
