Scammers impersonating our favourite celebrities is nothing new, but we have to say that we were more tickled by how Class 95 DJ Yasminne Cheng, 45, was seemingly horrified by how... 'her' feet looked when she was first highlighted to a deep fake video impersonating her.

One of Yaz’s followers was said to have been contacted by the impersonator who went on about how it had been a long and tiring week and that her feet were so sore from standing in heels.

The follower also received a video of ‘Yasminne’ seated with her feet propped to the camera. “Wished that there was someone to help soothe and lick them,” wrote fake Yaz.

Talk about someone having a feet fetish here.

Of course, the follower quickly realised this wasn’t Yasminne and forwarded it to The Lunchbreak host after seeing an Instagram story of her receiving scam messages.

Though the original video had already been deleted, Yasminne quickly took to Instagram to share a screenshot of the conversation.

“WTH!! I have way nicer feet I think!”wrote Yasminne, adding that she looks “nothing like that person in the video.”

“They looked so big and gangly and that toe was so long! Eww!” says Yasminne when 8days.sg reached out to her.

“I am guessing they either didn’t select a good video or the app they used was just lousy,” she laughs.

She further questions the motives of these scammers.

“I guess some people do it for laughs. But for others, wont it be easier for people to just get a skillset to make a living as it will be easier than doing all of this where the success rate is so low?” she says.

This isn’t the first time Yasminne’s image has been used as a catfish. In 2021 her pictures were found to be fronting  an online scam ad.

“I have no idea why they do it. Maybe I have a friendly face? You tell me?” she says when we commented that she seems to be a popular target.

She admits other personalities might have been targeted too though it never got around to them knowing about it.

In fact, Yasminne shares with us that she has engaged with a couple of these scammers before but only when she is free and in a good mood.

“One time, the scammer was going on about how ‘fantastic’ I am and even after I asked him to explain how so, he still didn’t get it,” she laughs.

When asked if it is time to finally get the police involved, Yasminne still thinks it isn’t worth it though she hopes that this incident can help spread more awareness on such scams.

Her advice? “Just be smart about it and call the person back for verification. This is not Mission Impossible and they shouldn’t be able to intercept it.”

Yasminne also hilariously points out, “If I was going to borrow money from you, I would at least be polite about it and ask you out for a drink.”
