NCIS: Los Angeles star Daniela Ruah, widely recognized for her dynamic portrayal of Kensi Blye, recently utilized her social media platform to alert her followers about a troubling scam infiltrating Instagram. With a substantial fanbase of over 1.1 million followers, Ruah shared a screenshot of a suspicious direct message claiming to be from Instagram’s Copyright Help Centre. The message ominously warned users to click on an unknown link to prevent being “locked out” of their accounts within 24 hours. Accompanied by a GIF of a caution sign, Ruah expressed her concern, stating, “BEWARE OF THIS SCAM IN YOUR DMs,” emphasizing the importance of staying vigilant against such deceptive tactics.
This warning comes on the heels of a similar cautionary message from her co-star Eric Christian Olsen, who experienced an unsettling incident with an unfamiliar message earlier in the year. Both actors have taken proactive steps to ensure their followers remain informed and protected from potential online threats.
Beyond her efforts to educate her audience about the scam, Ruah has been keeping her fans engaged by sharing snippets of her life during the lockdown, balancing her work on NCIS: Los Angeles with the challenges of family life. In a recent post, she humorously recounted a culinary mishap while attempting to create smoothie popsicles with her children. Her well-meaning intentions turned into a messy situation when she accidentally dropped the mixture, resulting in a chaotic cleanup that took 20 minutes. She lightheartedly captioned the incident, “Planned on making smoothie popsicles until mommy dropped the whole thing,” adding hashtags like #quarantine and #oops, reflecting her ability to find humor in everyday challenges.
Ruah’s candidness about her struggles during this unprecedented time has resonated with many fans, sparking a wave of supportive comments. Followers shared their own experiences of similar accidents, with one noting, “Could have been worse. You could have made the smoothie and forgot to put the lid on then the mess would be all over you!” Another fan chimed in, “I’ve been struggling to keep my almost 4-year-old entertained too,” highlighting the universal challenges of parenting during a pandemic.
Ruah’s willingness to share both her concerns about online safety and the lighter moments of family life underscores her relatable presence in the digital space. As she continues to navigate her roles both on-screen and as a mother, her connection with her fans remains strong, reminding everyone of the importance of community and support in these trying times.
