Matthew Perry's X account was hacked by scammers attempting to solicit donations through a fraudulent website.
Matthew Perry's X account was hacked by scammers attempting to solicit donations through a fraudulent website.
"We have received reports that Matthew's official X page has been hacked and is directing users to a fraudulent site soliciting donations via cryptocurrency," the Matthew Perry Foundation wrote in a statement. "Please do not donate to this site or share the fraudulent posts on social media."
"MatthewPerryFoundation.org is the only website associated with the foundation, and we are only accepting donations through this site," the foundation added.
The post has since been removed from Perry's X account. No information is available about the identity of the scammers or the amount of money stolen.
Perry died last October after he was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his Southern California home. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office later revealed Perry died “from the acute effects of ketamine.” He was 54 years old.
