HOUSE music producer and record label owner DJ Oskido has warned his fans on social media.
The musician, whose real name is Oscar Mlongwa, said there is someone who pretends to be him, asking people for money.
Oskido told Daily Sun that he was made aware of this matter by his team.
The Joburg-based DJ said people must not fall for these tactics as he would not go around asking for money from people.
He said this person claims to be Oskido Christie from Kalawa Jazzme and asked people to sign up under the record label and charged them R1 000.

"This is really scary as people use our names to rob others out there and it’s sickening. My team picked up that a certain person was trying to scam people, pretending to be from Kalawa Jazmee and apparently signing off as Oskido Christie. It popped up in emails and on Facebook,” he said.
Oskido advised his followers to stay away from this and never entertain it.
"Unfortunately, in the connected world we live in, more and more bad elements are taking chances. It's unfortunate that people resort to this, and we hope that no one fell for their tricks,” he said.
The musician also shared that there is more in store from him.
"Music is my life, so I continue to work on some projects with exciting young musicians and also, continue to grow Khwale, which is all about empowering artists by ensuring they control their masters," he said.
