Lightweight fighter Terrance McKinney received an unusual request on Instagram. He took to social media to show his fans and followers a message he received from a fake Conor McGregor account, asking for some kind of monetary help. The fans have shared some hilarious reactions to his post on social media.

Scammers are rampant on the internet, especially on social media platforms. Most victims of such scams claim that the entire process starts with either a direct message, post, or advertisement. 28-year-old Terrance McKinney came across a similar situation on his Instagram handle. Let us take a look at what happened.

Terrance McKinney receives a request from a fake Conor McGregor account

‘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.”

Fans react to McKinney’s post

Let us take a look at some of the reactions from fans on Twitter.

One fan hilariously commented it could be true just because Dana White was also involved in the situation.

Another fan said:

A Twitter user claims to have received the same message and decided to lend them some money.

There was one fan who mentioned that the fear of missing out on one of Amanda Nunes’ fights is the least believable aspect of the situation.

Let us take a look at reactions on Instagram.

• Just gonna leave Conor AND Dana hanging at the airport…
• Bro I really hope Conor finds his credit card
• You’re so lucky they chose you to help out be grateful

The fans were making some funny requests to Terrance McKinney, asking him not to ignore McGregor and White. They hope that ‘Notorious’ gets his credit card back. However, there were some fans who just couldn’t stop mentioning how much it made them laugh.
