Kim Kardashian has issued a plea to her followers after uncovering a scam using her name.
The reality TV star-turned-businesswoman took to Instagram to urge users not to fall for a scam that was pretending to be her asking for help for the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires. The alleged email, which she shared on her Stories, had attached a fake phone number for people to ring to support the apparent cause.
Wildfires are ravaging multiple parts of LA and continue to tear across California, the most populous state in America. They are threatening areas including Calabasas, Hidden Hills and Montecito and so far more than 10,000 homes have been destroyed. It had forced more than 150,000 forced to evacuate, while at least 24 devastatingly haven't made it out alive.

Over the top of an email example, Kim wrote: "Beware of scammers! This is not real, if anyone gets an email like this. How horrible."
The fake email, titled Kim Kardashian Campaigns For Affected People In LA, which was littered with mistakes, read: "Dear esteemed, This is kim kardashian hope you are doing great? Thanks for been a supportive fan. I want to bring our notice about the recent incident in Los Angeles about the fire outbreak, please I want us to play our part by helping those affected. you know I can't do it alone that is why I have you all as a fan, family and supporters you can support with any amount."
It comes after Kim had praised the efforts of firefighters battling the blazes. She previously wrote: "I have spent the last week watching my city burning. And have seen and spoken to many firefighters who are up all night long using every ounce of their strength to save our community.
"Thank you to @calfire la County Fire and Los Angeles City Fire for everything you are doing to save lives, homes and property."
She followed it up by saying: "On all 5 fires in Los Angeles, there are hundreds of incarcerated firefighters, risking their lives to save us. They get paid almost nothing, risk their lives, some have died, to prove to the community that they have changed and are now first responders. I see them as heroes."
While Kim continues to praise the efforts of those trying to fight the flames, some have hit out at her and other stars for their previous "wasteful" actions. It comes after water-conserving measures were put in place in 2022. Rules stated residents were restricted to watering their gardens twice a week and only for eight minutes at a time. However, some have claimed celebrities have ignored this rule and said they may have wasted vital water resources that could have been used to help fight the devastating wildfires.
In 2022, Kim was fined for using 232,000 gallons of water more than her allowed allocation, while other stars such as Sylvester Stallone and Kevin Hart were hit with fines.
