Fake Chris Evans Is Taking Money From Fans

An announcement from Chris Evans

In a recent tweet, Chris Evans warned his fans and followers about ‘someone’ claiming to be him, (Mr. Fake Chris Evans) and asking people for money. He also sounded quite mad at this scammer and said “you’re garbage” for preying on fans and trapping them this way.

He also clarified that he would never EVER ask any fan for money.

Yes, exactly guys. Don’t be fooled. Why would Captain America ever do that?!

On a serious note, impersonation is a serious, legal offense. And it’s important to understand that it doesn’t count as a joke if it’s with a public figure or celebrity.

We are sorry Captain America had to explain himself to his people. We believe YOU, Cap!
