Here’s the short version of our regular reminder: Bret does not have any ‘private chats’ nor does he have secret accounts that management doesn’t know about. We ask that you not engage with anyone using Bret (or any other public figure) wanting to ‘chat privately’. The scams evolve daily. If you don’t see the official verified symbol of the service you are on, then report and block them. If you are harassed by anyone claiming to be Bret, a family member, or someone who works for Bret, it is important not only to report and block them but to save your contact with them and report them to the appropriate authorities. For more detailed information, please see our write-up with links to resources at bretmichaels.com.
