I got an email from an actor yesterday, I know this has been done a few years ago, bt if someone could put me on the right track I would appreciate it.
the question is; do they write us, or not? I know they are too busy and all, Roowan is now enlisted in the military, so do they have the time, does their “company” allow them to write us? I don’t remember the answers from a few years ago… so if anyone can please let me know. I don’t want to go the wrong way with this… and thanks before hand
I got a message from the real one, he said be careful of this, a lot of scammers on FB and other places, he even invited me to message him. but I think I wont.

Generally, when guys are in service, they are not writing to anyone. They have little free time, plus they are restricted about what they can do as far as their previous professions go. (K-pop stars and actors have to hang it up while in service. It is all-in to protect the country.) When they do have spare time, they usually spend it on known people.
(Rowoon? is extremely popular) If you received a message out of the blue when you had not established communication earlier, I doubt it is the real person. Perhaps it could be their agency’s ghostwriter answering fan mail. But I am a pessimist about talking to real stars, so I’d think it was more likely a scammer.
But you may be lucky, and it really is Rowoon! 
(mm He is such a handsome man… 
)
Be cautious, Catfishing is a real problem in fandoms because so many hopeful people have their heart’s desire to talk with their idols. Never give out personal data or fall for money schemes.
Anyway, this is my opinion because I have never won big on the lottery

I would always assume any direct communication from a celebrity is fake as fake could be, especially if it comes unsolicited out of the blue and not through official channels that the agencies have set up. I know the Kpop world has established some programs like Bubble and Weverse (which I think doesn’t exist anymore?) for idols to communicate with fans. I think agencies and the idols themselves would be extremely cautious about communicating in any unofficial capacity. They would be at too much risk, IMO.

Hmm I can say for sure that this is a scam… They won’t write to anyone. On FB I receive “cute” letters and messages on a daily basis. My favorite is when they are not even in English, because that might make it more believable, but in Hungarian. I’ve heard some horror stories about this. There was one lady who even made weekly video calls to Dylan… because it was definitely him and he even learned Hungarian for her. Today’s technology is very advanced. Everything is imaginable and possible, even things you can’t imagine. The point is, it’s fun to laugh and joke about it, but not to take it seriously in any way! And especially not to give money to the unfortunate “just-struggling” celebrity. Let’s just look at it AI, you want a picture with a “real” celebrity, ask one of the AIs for a free service and boom, in a second they’ll make a picture of you and any celebrity in a picture with you. No big deal. So I’m just saying, be careful, and be smart.

Just to add to what xialongne said:
If you open these messages and interact with them, there’s a higher chance that you will continue to get messages from these “celebs.” If scammers know that you will interact with them, they will share this information with other scammers so they can try their luck as well. They get very creative with their schemes in order to get your information.
Please be careful @frustratedwriter.
