“Can you send me some money? I’ll bring Beyoncé,” they continued.
The scammer added in a follow-up note, “Hello this is Beyoncé,” as if theCowboy Carterartist joined the chat.
Rowland wrote over the screenshot, “FAKE AF!!”
“Be careful out here!” added the “Motivation” performer. “And don’t you think I know how to spell P-L-A-N-E!”

Not only are Rowland and Beyoncé not asking fans for money, they’re busy doing many other things. Last month, they went to support friend and fellow former Destiny’s Child memberMichelle Williamsat her opening night inDeath Becomes Heron Broadway.
“It was an absolute joy having them there because I know they’re fans of the movie,” Williams, 45,recently told PEOPLE. “Kelly was just like, ‘Wait a minute. How is she going to have the hole in her stomach?’ I said, ‘You have to come see the show. You got to come see it.'”
The “Say Yes” musician, who stars in the musical as Viola Van Horn, added, “Having them there, I felt anchored. We obviously have not been touring together for years, but it took me back to the time when I’d been with them on stage. Even though they weren’t on stage with me, I felt so grounded. It’s giving me some fuel for the rest of my run in the show.”

In an August interviewwith PEOPLE, Rowland teased upcoming music more than a decade after her last album, 2013’sTalk a Good Game, was released. “It’s coming,” she said.
“The music that I’m honing together is feeling really great,” added Rowland. “It’s definitely time for another album.”
However, she was tight-lipped on further details. “I’m in this space where I just think that saying too much is just saying too much,” said the “When Love Takes Over” artist. “I’d rather it just come to fruition.”
