A Dublin rugby player who suffered ankle injuries and a fractured eye socket due to an attack by suspected homophobes last weekend has said a fraudster is impersonating him to scam the public.
After surgery on his ankle, Evan Somers (23) remains in hospital, which suffered two fractures and dislocation following an unprovoked attack on Dame Street on a Saturday eve.
Evan has stated that a “sick person” has created fake social media profiles, mimicking his own to scam people by soliciting financial help to cover his medical expenses.
Evan has notified the people to report any fake accounts that demand money from them and dismiss such messages immediately.
