    Thank you so much for this. I am one of many victims and I am very grateful to you Steve for coming out and bluntly saying you don't talk to anyone. You saved my life by doing this. I am ok right now and putting all the pieces together. Will follow your career wherever it takes you. Love ❤ from your biggest and older fan 😂❤

    Steve and Bradford I’m so glad you did this informative podcast. I see so many imposters of you both on all forms of social media and see fans thinking they’re actually talking with you. I try to inform those that I see that it’s not the case and report those imposters, but the volume is so overwhelming. Be vigilant everyone.

    I've been watching GH since 1978. Jason and Spinelli are 2 of my favorite characters. I was thrilled when I saw Steve come from the "3rd door" on THE GH SPECIAL!!
    Can't wait for more Jason and Spinelli!!!
    God Bless!!!💙

    I am in a group for GH fans. Everyone was asking about receiving a friend request from Steve Burton. I think everyone got one. I got one about an hour after seeing the post. Most knew it was a scammer, but some refuse to believe. Thank you for doing this. ❤

    Scammers and imposters are always annoying all over the media. I can understand why Cloud Strife is smart enough to stay off of Twitter/X, or deleted his Twitter/X account(bummed, but it's understandable).

    I made a comment on what was presented as Teddy Swims UA-cam & someone posted as him with this long 'Highlighted' comment attempting to get me to send 🤑 to a foundation in Nigeria to ward off negative energy 🤪🤨
    Sad, I've had people pretending to be police & threatening my eldest daughter SMH
    Glad you tried to help that elderly man & you posted this! People need to check in on their elders & keep them informed on these scams and tell them what to do or what not to do.

    So glad you made a podcast on this topic 👏👏👏 Ive had people in yhe past on Insta try to message me pretending to be Steve, and I immediately just blocked and reported them because I knew that they were scammers because I follow your only personal account, Stevie B. Hopefully this helps other people be more aware of the scams out there. I'm surprised that I hadn't heard about that Thorsten imposter until this podcast, thats so terrible! 😔 Something seriously needs to be done. Thanks for making sure your fans are being careful and staying safe! Love you guys 💙

    ❤Thank you. This scamming is getting crazy for sure! I've seen people that pretend to be the actor or singer in responding to our comments on UA-cam too. They get personal or ask questions - very fishy. You report them after you see their channel only has 12 followers on UA-cam. UA-cam gets rid of their channel - Then they turn around and do a new channel and start over doing it again. Frustrating and Ridiculous!

    On Facebook I’ve seen scammers on GH pages. They use cast names, join as members, then ask if you want to me more on the show reply with “Yes”. All the responders get private messages back. I keep telling them it’s a scammer and not to reply. Some listen, some don’t. It happens multiple times a day. I finally gave up and quit the groups when the admins ignored the problem. Sorry to see people being used like this.

Unbelievable how this keeps being allowed on facebook! 🤨

    I can not tell you how timely this podcast was. I had been responding to the various posts on Facebook about Steve coming back to GH, and a few days later, I received a DM from someone claiming to be Steve....he kept calling me Sweetheart....he told me in the DM that I was to only correspond with him through an app called Signal. It was not long after the conversation started he said something to me about doing to his homeless children charity. I, instantly backed out of using the Signal app and deleted the app.

    My aunt sold her house, used that money, as well as the 20,000 she had in the bank (basically all her money) & sent it to a person she thought was a famous country singer. She now lives in a camper in her daughter’s yard. Everyone tried to convince her it was a scam, but that person had a complete hold on my aunt. It’s absolutely heartbreaking.

She gets smart and understand that there is bad people out there, so I’m glad you’re doing the shelf for some people who might think about that it is a celebrity when it is because like you said no celebrity would ask for money or anything like that

These scams are really getting out of control . I know you are really good people n these scammers are giving you bad reputations . So I just tell them you are my cousin n you wouldn’t believe how many people have actually thanked me even the fake Steve’s which is funny because you know they don’t speak English n know exactly what I’m posting.😂

    Recently I had a Steve Burton who Dm me from Facebook after I commented on a post and seconds after he started he was asking for money. Let me tell you I reamed him out good. He actually swore at me and told me to get off his page. Of course I blocked and deleted his page. This is getting very serious and is emotionally hurting a lot of people. Be careful everyone. God bless

    My cousin was only steps from dementia. You couldn't convince her that she wasn't conversing with Tom Jones.

    I was curious so I just looked on Facebook for Mr. Steve it showed like 40 pages for you. This is a great podcast especially for fans to realize how diabolical scammers can be. Do y'all worry about AI maybe being used to mimic your voices? I have seen some news stories where scammers have done that to people to get money. It's all just craziness.
