Dr. Suga-T Stevens, First Lady of Legendary music group The Click and sister to rap legend E-40, is the latest victim in the hacking scam that has targeted high profile celebrities with verified Facebook accounts since January of this year. The iconic singer and author was approached by a man who claimed to represent Tony Terry and his upcoming concert that was allegedly sponsored by Nike. Stevens was booked to participate in a Zoom meeting as a qualification for the upcoming alleged paid interview. A few days after not receiving the deposit for the interview, the hacker proceeded to steal Stevens’ verified Facebook page. Stevens was removed from all of her business accounts and still hasn’t had access restored to her since March.

“I reached out to Facebook Support online and I went down to Facebook headquarters in person, nothing has been done. So many of my colleagues have expressed concerns as well, we are working together to find solutions. Afterall, what is the point of having verified accounts if Facebook doesn’t do anything to rectify these types of incidents? I’m fortunate to not have my entire livelihood depend on what I bring in online, I’m thankful I never put all of my eggs in one basket and continue to believe in multiple streams of income. My heart goes out to anyone losing money because of this scam or any other Facebook scams.” - Dr. Suga-T Stevens
