My personal and Plant Based Briefing's social media accounts have been hijacked. Scammers are impersonating me trying to sell things, then interacting with people in DMs asking for deposits to hold the items. Do not give anyone money. It's not me. I'm locked out of the accounts and cannot get in to warn people, and they've turned off comments. If anyone gives the scammers money, please let me know at . The police are aware of these scams but can't do anything until money has been exchanged. Thanks, Marian
