Ghanaian media personality, Andy Dosty, has disclosed a surreal encounter involving a false accusation of fathering a child after he was impersonated on social media.
He opened up about this during a discussion on Joy Prime.
The Hitz FM presenter revealed that he has become the target of multiple fake social media accounts, many of which use his photos and identity to scam unsuspecting victims.
“There’s a certain account bearing my name, and they’re using it to collect money from people. I’ve had to defend myself and report these accounts multiple times,” he explained.
Recounting one particularly jarring episode, Andy said he was stunned when a young woman and her mother arrived at his workplace, confronting him over an alleged pregnancy.

“One day, I came to work and was told someone was waiting for me at the reception. I went out and greeted them,” Andy Dosty recounted.
The popular radio presenter further stated, “The mother turned to her daughter and asked if I was the one. The lady said no. I asked what the issue was, and the mother said they were looking for Andy Dosty because he had impregnated her daughter.”
Fortunately, the woman quickly acknowledged that Andy was not the man involved, clarifying that someone using his photos and name on social media had deceived her.
The media personality said this is just one of several damaging encounters he’s had to endure due to impersonators, and he emphasized the ongoing challenge of protecting his reputation in the digital age.
