How to Check a Celebrity Ambassador Claim
Before you trust an ambassador claim, check it. Players can be lured by a well-known face, name or image, so look for a statement on the celebrity’s own official channels. If you cannot find one, treat the claim as unconfirmed. You can report an incident in which an artist’s identity appears to be used without authorization to the authorities or to Ugrado.
