Several Hallmark Stars Share Urgent Warning To Fans
We’re just days away from the Hallmark Channel’s annual Countdown to Christmas movie event. The 2025 season kicks off on Friday, October 17. The popular holiday binge-watch is set to premiere forty new original movies this year from some of the network’s most popular stars.
Several of those same stars unite for a video PSA about an issue that’s increasingly becoming a huge problem on social media. Keep reading for more about the urgent warning.
Hallmark Stars Share Urgent Warning To Fans
The season of watching movies under cozy blankets with a cup of hot chocolate is about to begin. That means more content from Hallmark stars on social media as they promote their upcoming movies. It also means more opportunities for scammers.
Several Hallmark stars came together to film a PSA for social media. They urgently warned fans to watch out for fake accounts online. Tyler Hynes, Tamera Mowry, Andrew Walker, Nikki DeLoach, B.J. Britt, and Jonathan Bennett starred in the video.
It began with Tyler Hynes, Tamera Mowry, and Nikki DeLoach saying that Hallmark loves their fans and had an important message to share. The camera cut to Andrew Walker, who said there was a “growing industry-wide problem” on social media.
B.J. Britt and Jonathan Bennett explained that there has been an increase in fake accounts reaching out to fans, pretending to be the popular actors.
The Hallmark stars in the video made it clear that the actors would never message you asking for money or to meet up.
“It’s a scam,” they warned. Nikki DeLoach shared what to do if you think you’ve been contacted by a scammer pretending to be one of the Hallmark stars.
“Please block the account and report it to the social media platform immediately,” she said. The stars ended the video by thanking fans.
“I can’t believe you have to even make a video like this. Its crazy,” one fan wrote in the comments.
Another added, “Kinda sad that Tyler Hynes isn’t going to to contact me personally.”
Not Just Hallmark
If you’ve ever commented on a news article on social media, you’ve likely been tagged in a response asking you to add that person as a friend. Or perhaps you’ve received a direct message from an account that claims to be a famous actor or musician.

The name on the account is usually close to the real name of the star. However, most people don’t even notice the minor changes in capitalization or spelling.
As the Hallmark PSA said, it’s a problem across the entire entertainment industry. A fan of the soap opera General Hospital was recently scammed out of their life savings by someone pretending to be Steve Burton.
So, next time you get a message from your favorite actor, think twice before responding.
