Beware the “fake Leonor”. Internet scammers posing as a Spanish royal princess have repeatedly been able to defraud vulnerable individuals in the Hispanic world.

Princess Leonor, 19, the much-beloved heir to the Spanish throne, does not have an official TikTok profile. However, fraudsters have set up dozens of accounts in her name to win trust and trick victims into sending them money, much as another criminal pretending to be the actor Brad Pitt recently duped a woman out of more than $870,000 in France.
