The renowned actor wrote in his post, “It has come to my attention that a fake Jose Sixto Dantes III @linkedin account with my photo, name, and credentials, has been actively responding to messages and scheduling online and on-site meetings with individuals on my behalf.

“Please be informed that the profile Jose Sixto Dantes III with over 400 connections on @linkedin is not me nor is being handled by anyone I know.”

He then asked for the public's help in reporting the said account and to redirect their concerns to hello@dingdong.ph or info@yespinoy.org. “Thank you and stay safe!” he added.

Dingdong's former Descendants of the Sun (The Philippine Adaptation) co-star Lucho Ayala lent a helping hand to his dear friend by reporting the dummy account and spreading the word about this matter.
