Dwayne Johnson has a special bond with his fans across the world. Many people have been rooting for The Rock since his WWE days, and that connection has only become stronger with his rise to Hollywood’s stardom. DJ always mentions how they are an important part of his success and he wouldn’t be this big a star if not for them.

But, the closeness of the former WWE Champion with his fans also comes with some pitfalls for his fans. A few years ago, some people began scamming fans using The Rock’s name.

The Rock often engages with his fans via social media and has fun exchanges with them when he meets them in person. He has often helped out many of his fans and made heartwarming gestures for them. However, The Brahma Bull once warned his fans against falling prey to scammers who duped them using his name online.

In fact, many times he has made some incredible gestures for his fans. They also hang on to every news and word coming out from The Rock’s mouth.

However, some mischievous elements prey upon the vulnerability of fans and dupe them of their hard-earned money using the name of The Rock.

In his Instagram video, The Rock talked about such scammers and said, “These guys are real pieces of sh*t. There has been an extraordinary amount of people actually engaging with these people, and sending in money.”

Moreover, he emphasized that he knows the value of the hard-earned dollar and would never ask his fans for their money. The People’s Champion stated, “I’m the guy who was evicted at 15, as you guys know. By 23, I had seven bucks in my pocket. I value a hard-earned dollar and I would never ask you guys for money. Be vigilant, be smart, question it, report it.”

The Rock also assured the fans back then that he had the authorities working on the issue. Yet again, Dwayne Johnson was looking out for his fans and wanted them to steer clear of fraudulent social media accounts running in his name.

Such gestures reiterate why he enjoys a remarkable relationship with his fanbase and indeed why he is the People’s Champion.
