It appears that some reckless online scammer has decided that of all the celebrities to impersonate, they'd like to take a stab at Oprah.

As expected, though, Oprah is onto them. In a video posted to her Instagram and Twitter accounts on Thursday, she warns the people not to fall for the scam accounts -- which, apparently, are primarily on Instagram and use her name and avatar to host fake "giveaways."

"Hi, everybody. I just wanted you to know that somebody out there is trying to scam you using my name and my avatar on social media, asking for money if you sign up for an OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) account on Instagram," she says. She is standing in front of a beautiful Christmas tree -- the position of ultimate authority.

"It's a fraud, it's a fraud, it's a fraud!" Oprah then adds. She literally sings this. With vibrato! I'm so inspired, I'll never get scammed in my life.

So move along, scammers. Do not fuck with Oprah!
