IT'S A SCAM' TUMI TELLS MZANSI The Mr. Bones 3: Son of Bones actress told Drum magazine that she was not aware that this company was using her face and name to scam people until people informed her.

--

I received DMs on Instagram and Facebook from people asking me about keto gummies. And I was like what the heck is this and why am I getting so many messages about this? Then a couple of the fans actually sent me screengrabs of the page and what was being said on the page. So I told them this is a scam, I don't know anything about these people and they're using my face illegally, she told the publication.

Tumi also said, Then I got a message on WhatsApp from Anele Mdoda as well, alerting me to this thing and I thought this thing is huge mos. And I realised it's sponsored, so these people have actually paid and put out a paid ad on Facebook with my face on it, you know?

--

Initially, I kept trying to get on this page, but I couldn't. Like I literally thought they had blocked me, eventually I was able to get under the post and I said this is a scam. It's a lie. And I don't know if they have taken it down or whatever, she told the publication.

I USED MOME'S NATURAL PRODUCTS' SHE SAYS Tumi says she has never hidden the products she used to get rid of her belly fat and people know.

When I have used stuff I have been very clear about it. When I used Mome's things, and I said oh this is natural, I'm gonna try this. I used it, and it killed my mkhaba. And I told people this is how I lost my mkhaba. So if you don't hear my say that's how I lost weight, please don't go taking things, she said.

But also, besides that, it doesn't matter what celebrity face is being used on a product, bruh, first of all don't take something just because you think I took it. And even if I did take it, what works for me won't necessarily work for you, she added.
