He made a post on Instagram saying, "Smishing is a part of voice fishing and I have just been fooled. I was in Thailand when I got a text from a friend. I couldn't call him so I sent him money, but that turned out to be a fraud". He added a capture of the text message from this "Friend".

He added, "If my phone has been hacked, strange messages might go to people on my phone so please wary. I have to get a new phone. Everyone be careful and I hope this doesn't happen to you".
