Sandra Bullock has warned fans about social media scammers imitating her and her family.
"My family's safety, as well as the innocent people being taken advantage of, is my deep concern, and there will be a time when I will comment more, but for now our focus is helping law enforcement handle this matter," The Blind Side star told People.
