James Norton has condemned internet scammers who posed as him to defraud a widow, Rosemarie Cohen, out of £10,500. She believed she was in contact with the actor for nearly a year after he liked her Facebook post. The scammers, claiming to work for Norton, offered fake meet-and-greet opportunities and a job for a fee. Norton’s representatives confirmed that he had no communication with Cohen and urged fans to be cautious of unverified accounts. Cohen expressed her disappointment, stating she felt deceived but appreciated the exposure of the scam. She hopes others will be more careful when interacting online.
