This morning while I was sipping my morning coffee and eating my breakfast, I heard a ding on my phone alerting me to a message. I looked at it and was caught by surprise that it was a private message supposedly from celebrity Dean Cain many may know as the 90’s superman from Lois & Clark

I actually have met Dean Cain in 1995 during a trip to Los Angeles California.

I, of course, was wary because there are a lot of imposters out there and scammers. This person did assure me he was real but I still had that gut feeling, and it proved I was right.

This person started sending me private messages on my instagram page and asking me personal questions like if I was married or had children.

Again I replied that it was seeming suspicious which then caused this person to become abrupt and desperate trying to break through their act I had put a wall up between them and me.

I could soon tell it was not legit because of the desperation coming through.
