In a warning on the social media platform, Littler wrote: “Wanted to share this with you guys as I have been seeing a lot of fake profiles being created of me and my management online.
“These fake accounts, like the two screenshots, have been scamming people and taking their money in return for merch that they then don’t get sent.”
One of the examples shared by The Nuke was a signed and framed shirt that was being sold for £50 under the guise of a an email address that was pretending to be Littler’s management.
