In the wake of this heartfelt revelation, fans and well-wishers took to social media to voice their concerns and offer suggestions. Here are some of the reactions:
@talkwithkess expressed her support, saying, "I can't find your Christmas menu flier."
@africanbarbeehairs provided a constructive solution: "I am very active on Facebook; I advise you to create a Facebook account under the name 'Hilda Bassey (Baci)' and regularly engage with your audience. Facebook has its own distinct audience, and creating an official presence there may help bridge the gap for those who are not on Instagram."
@glowriavlogs highlighted the divide between platforms: "Facebook people are not on Instagram. Maybe you should create a new account on Facebook to make the announcement."
@oreh_x expressed frustration with Facebook: "Facebook is a very stupid app."
@ladypreshgold raised an interesting point: "So whenever they get scammed, they now know the real page to complain to? Isn't that marvelous. If I'm a celebrity, I will never listen to them. It baffles me."
@orbyamaliri
noted the audacity of the scammer:"The Facebook impersonator is really cashing out...it's hard to believe it's not you. Guys, let's report that account massively."
@textured_de_luxe provided a practical solution:
"Open your account and get it verified. That account would be taken down."
@best___sonia shed light on the challenge of bridging platforms: "Facebook people are in another world. They have their own 'Hilda Baci.' If you like, comment, scam from now until next year, they won't hear. It's sad."
Hilda Baci's emotional plea serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by celebrities in the digital age, where scammers can exploit their identities and tarnish their reputations. In the face of adversity, her fans and followers have rallied to support her in this ongoing battle against impersonation and deception.
