I've seen three accounts where I'm holding my son. That makes me feel angry more than anything else - how low can you go? Fitness coach Farren Morgan (pictured), 36, has been the face of countless online scams Pictured: Farren Morgan's real TikTok account is the verified @thetacticalathlete, but a search reveals that numerous other accounts are using photographs of him on the platform'I had a man message me last week saying: "You're having an affair with my wife please leave her alone". I was like: "I have no idea what you're on about I've been married now for 10 years - I'm very happy you've obviously been scammed by a fake account".'Honestly, there is not one day that goes by where I don't receive an email or a message. It's normally between one and five messages a day.'Farren believes the scams started around three years ago when he first kickstarted his Instagram account (@farrenmorgan) which now has more than 220,000 followers.He said: 'I just realised in 2020 that people were receiving messages pretending to be me, saying: "Hi I'm Farren Morgan, if you would like to win a day with me then just follow this link".'This takes you to a payment system where people paid £1 to £10 for this. 'I thought it was one or two people, so I blocked them and reported them. Then I did a competition on Instagram and about 20 profiles with my face came up. They were all messaging the people that entered the competition telling them they'd won and to follow a link.'On one occasion, Farren claims that a woman was scammed out of £3,000 after receiving multiple messages from a fraudulent profile like this. The whole ordeal was said to be extremely stressful at first, with his fitness business just starting to do well. 'At one point Instagram actually deleted my account and said I was the fake one while the others were still scamming people. I was really stressed out because my business was doing really well at the time and I couldn't get hold of anyone at Instagram,' he added. Criminals often use images of the serving soldier and photographs of his one-year-old son Pictured: A Twitter search reveals more than one account using Farren Morgan's photographs. His real account is @FarrenMcoaching, but he has not used it in a long time'In the end, I got my account back. But that's happened twice now even though I've been the real person.'Farren Morgan scams have now spread to multiple platforms including TikTok, Instagram and Twitter. The Instagram bio of one account reads: 'Am looking for serious relationship and caring woman that will take good care of me.'Another on TikTok claims they are an 'author', a 'Los Angeles Native' and in the military police.The profiles come at a time when military personas are a popular choice for online scammers, as scientists recently found they are often used to demand emergency funds. Fake Farren Morgan profiles use several tactics to hook people in, such as screen recording his videos and sending them to women on social media. The 36-year-old trainer said: 'These people are making a hell of a lot of money out of my name' But Farren claims their messaging style is completely different to his, using words like 'ma'am' and broken English.

Everything about their posts and profile is designed to seem real. These scammers often steal real military servicemembers’ names and photos for their fake profiles. Their online chats can feel real and quickly turn to talk of love or even marriage., My apologies for the lack of complete details but this isn't happening to me directly. A very close friend of mine has been chatting via Google chat with someone who claims to be a member of the US Military deployed to Syria. I guess my questions are simple: my friend says she met him on TikTok..
