The Facebook page of the All I wanna do-singer, monitored by her management, is inundated with messages from “grown men who think they have some kind of personal connection to Sheryl.” And that sometimes goes very far. “Fans even believe they are going to marry Sheryl, despite never actually meeting her in their lives.”
REVIEW. Sheryl Crow on Live Is Live: The generation gap was somewhere halfway planned **
The men in question do not realize that it is an online scam and are firmly convinced that the singer falls for their charms after Eric Clapton and Lance Armstrong. The fake Sheryls on social media take advantage of this. “Some even give money to a fake management to get a ‘fan pass’ or buy a private conversation with her. Of course, that never happens once the money is transferred because it’s a scam.”
Her management emphasizes that Crow does not have its own social media channels. The official Facebook account where the message was posted is controlled by her management. “It’s almost unbelievable that we have to keep saying this, but Sheryl doesn’t message fans on social media. There are no exceptions to this rule, trust us!”
“Please, gentlemen, use your common sense. Do you really think you’re going to marry a celebrity you’ve never met just because you’re exchanging private messages with someone claiming to be Sheryl Crow? All this with a new account that has 12 followers and asks you to send money? Come on.”
“Just enjoy the music! That’s what it’s all about,” says her team positively.
