Beware of Fake Accounts approaching you on social media
2 July 2025
Please remember that social media can be a wonderful place to share pictures, memories, thoughts, opinions and more but it can also be a breeding ground for predators trying to scam people and in our case, doing things like making fake social media accounts and posing as Bonnie Raitt or members of her team, asking to connect with you personally on Telegram, LinkedIn or other sites, trying to engage with you, and even doing things like offering concert tickets or a chance to meet Bonnie.
We want you to know that Bonnie and her team will never try to reach you personally through social media unless the message comes from one of her official accounts (@officialbonnieraitt on Facebook and @bonnieraittofficial on Instagram, both verified with the blue check mark.) Most importantly, we ask you to please take caution and do not share your personal information with anyone claiming to have any connection to Bonnie Raitt, or claiming to be her. There is no circumstance under which we would ever request payment or access to sensitive information. Be aware of scammers and don’t engage!
Bonnie is so grateful for the wonderful fans who have supported her music and career over these many decades. It’s both frustrating and painful to know there are nefarious people online attempting to take advantage of her fans. If you see scammers in the comments on Bonnie’s posts or in your direct messages, DO NOT engage, but DO block and report! Each and every time you block and report one of these fake accounts, you are helping keep our community safe.
Thank you!
