‘T Wrecks’ recently received a message from an Instagram user by the name ‘the_natarius_mma’, mimicking Conor McGregor’s real Instagram handle. The user told McKinney that he was stuck inside an airport, while also losing his credit card. The user wrote, “Hi, I’m Conor McGregor, the double champ., I am stuck in the airport and i lost my credit card.”
The scammer said that he wanted to watch one of Amanda Nunes’s fights and requested some money from Terrance McKinney. He added, “I need money or I’ll miss Nunes fight. Could you send me $100 in amazon gift cards?”

The scammer went the extra mile when he said that he was there with Dana White. The scammer went ahead and sent ‘T Wrecks’ a message pretending to be the UFC president. He added, “There’s also Dana with me. Hi This is Dana. How you doing?” It was apparent that it was a fake account, and McKinney sarcastically captioned the post: “There’s no way this is a scam.”

One fan hilariously commented it could be true just because Dana White was also involved in the situation.
If it was just Conor I would say scam, but the fact Dana said “How you doing”. It’s 100% real. Should send $200 in Amazon gift cards so Dana can get home too
