Watch: Daniel O Donnell warns his fans of latest Facebook scam

International singer Daniel O'Donnell has taken to social media to warn his fans about Facebook scammers and said he hoped his Facebook fans have not been affected by them. 

He said that people who posted messages on his Facebook page were being asked whether they would like to receive a private message. 

The singer said: "I just want to address something about the Facebook page. Now, many of you are getting messages asking you to message back either to me or to Joan, or somebody in our office. 

"And I just want to let you know that the Facebook page is only ever used to put up messages or videos and we never, me or anybody from the office, ask you to message us back. We don't ever message anybody directly or ask you to private message us back."

Scammers who answer fans back saying thank you very much for your message you can message me back privately are to be completely ignored, Daniel warned his fans. 

"These people are only trying to take advantage of people, I suppose,"Daniel said. 

Don't ever think we will private message you back to get you to answer us. I hope that none of you have experienced anything derogatory up until now or respectful, thank you very much, I hope you are well and take care," he said.
