Kim Kardashian timely warns fans of new scams

Kim Kardashian has informed her followers of scammers using her name for fake fundraisers for the Los Angeles fire victims.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a photo of one such scam, and wrote, "Beware of scammers! This is not real, if anyone gets an email like this. How horrible.”

Sharing another such email - titled Kim Kardashian Campaigns For Affected People In LA - she added: “This email is NOT me!”

This comes after the reality star gave a special shout out to the incarcerated firefighters combating the wildfires throughout southern California.

She wrote: “I have spent the last week watching my city burning. And have seen and spoken to many firefighters who are up all night long using every ounce of their strength to save our community.”

“Thank you to @calfire la County Fire and Los Angeles City Fire for everything you are doing to save lives, homes and property.”

In another slide, the SKIMS founder added: “On all 5 fires in Los Angeles, there are hundreds of incarcerated firefighters, risking their lives to save us.”

She noted that such firefighters have been paid $1 an hour since 1984, a rate that hasn’t increased with inflation.

“It's never been raised when fires got worse and many died.”

“This year there was an agreement to raise the incarcerated firefighter pay to $5/hour, but it got shot down last minute.”

She then made a direct plea to Governor Gavin Newson, writing, “I am urging @cagovernor to do what no Governor has done in 4 decades…”

“And raise the incarcerated firefighter pay to a rate that honors a human being risking their life to save our lives and homes.”
