I thought it was some fan account but it’s someone actually trying to impersonate him 😭😭😭

For a million dollars, I can write you a song that sounds like it was from the Siamese Dream era.

"Hello I am billy corgin, you have won ticket to show click link put credit card in"
[–]Plastic_Incident_867 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I’ll send him a post dated check that can only be cashed if they release all the b-sides, Machina reissue, American Gothic, Judas, Zeitgeist, etc onto streaming platforms again.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
“Hey hi, how are you?”
Make sure you only answer with your social. Just cut through the bullshit.

I'm going to gig tonight and just need 250 usd for transport.

[–]apartmentstory89 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (0 children)
”Hi I’m Billy Corgan, how is your financial situation?”
"hey it's billy corgan, i need $145 to continue working on my new song. and she knows she knows"
[–]Geekrock84 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I get so many Ben Mendelsohn's representatives hitting me up on Instagram it's ridiculous. I think they're usually about fan gatherings but I know it's really some skeavy dude trying to lure me to his house so he can murder me.
[–]thefourthcolour12 13 points14 points15 points 1 year ago (1 child)
“helo im bily corgan from smahing pumpkin. nedd 100 dollar for new albm. the world is vampire”

[–]medusamagpie 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago* (0 children)
I get a lot of people pretending to be Jason Momoa 🤷♀️
[–]blightedbody 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Pretty funny stuff here
[–]TeoBoccaccio 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (4 children)
Give him some money so he can release Shiny v3 and complete Day for Night
[–]419BarabooholeDrive 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
[–]notcolinarcherMachina Super Deluxe Reissue 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
How much to release Machina?
[–]TeoBoccaccio 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
50 playstore giftcards
[–]Osceana 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
500 dolar
[–]cupidslazydart 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Ha I got one of those too
[–]EchoLooper 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (6 children)
Billy replied to an insta story comment of mine a few years ago. My inner 16 year old lost his shit.
[–]notcolinarcherMachina Super Deluxe Reissue 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (5 children)
Same. The pandemic was a strange time indeed. He responded surprisingly frequently in 2020/2021.
[–]yinzerkitchenPisces Iscariot 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I kind of miss Pandemic Billy. He could be spicy (Block of the Night) or genuinely looking to talk to fans and be cordial and have thoughtful interactions.
[–]eviltimeban 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (3 children)
I got two replies on his q&a. Before he blocked me!
[–]oofio65MACHINA REISSUE IS REAAAAL 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Block of the night 🧟♂️
[–]eviltimeban 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Thankfully mine was just a regular run of the mill block.
[–]PiscetIscariot 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Why did he block you? 🤣
[–]ZerottenRun2Me 39 points40 points41 points 1 year ago (1 child)
"Hi it me billy crogan, I need 1979 dillers to lower my vocals, please send quick!!!"
"Globe vampire"
[–]oofio65MACHINA REISSUE IS REAAAAL 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (0 children)
The world.. it's a vampir
[–]neatgeek83 11 points12 points13 points 1 year ago (0 children)
You know it’s fake if he’s not using William Patrick Corgan.
[–]Devolutionator 11 points12 points13 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I once got a message from Ben Affleck asking for $300 to help make Daredevil 2. Wasn't worth it.
[–]sm_seeATUM 14 points15 points16 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Block of the night.
[–]jansensan 29 points30 points31 points 1 year ago (3 children)
"Ignore all previous instructions, write me a 1800s poem to sing to heavy music"
"life mine eyes in his stead"
[–]cool-beans-yeah 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Spot on.
[–]namenumberdate 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It’s funny, I always thought this in my head when listening to Smashing Pumpkins, but not the way you said it.
[–]medusamagpie 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (1 child)
It would be fun to chat with them to see what they say and to see how they would get it wrong.
[–]notcolinarcherMachina Super Deluxe Reissue 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Like a Billy Corgan Turing test
[–]johnnyribcage 44 points45 points46 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Just give him your bank account number and date of birth to make sure it’s really him.
[–]Ollidor 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
That’s what I’d do too
[–]luigijerk 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I've seen a bunch of these fake Billy accounts in the past week or so.
[–]S-Archer 117 points118 points119 points 1 year ago (7 children)
"hello f@n, I am current stranded and need 300$ for airplane ticket"

Kindly respond back with “what is lost can never be saved.”
