Hamill announced earlier this week that he was leaving Facebook. The actor is still active in Instagram. But he is the most active on Twitter. He is always answering fan questions, sharing stories from the original Star Wars sets, making people laugh with his dad humor and tags his old and news friends alike on the fun. But some people are now creating fake accounts using Hamill’s name. In addition to the trusty blue checkmark, Hamill wants his fans to know what makes him so uniquely…him.

He first got alerted about the fake account from a Twitter user called @KirinArnold. The account tweeted:

“Hey Mark @HamillHimself & fellow #HamillHamsters….be on the lookout! Another imposter account has popped up! ???”

In response Mark Hamill said:

“I appreciate all you #Hamsters bringing attention to fake accounts. Remember: there is only one genuine @HamillHimself -The perfect 1-stop account for dad ‘humor’ -cute baby & animal videos & constant mockery of the orange atrocity currently infesting the WH. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES.”
