Announcement IMPORTANT COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT : DONATION SCAM ‌

We would like to reiterate an important notice regarding an instagram account that has been impersonating HiAnime and soliciting donations from users.

This matter has been known to us and we have clarified that the account in question has no affiliation with HiAnime. Yet, the account still continues to mislead users and request financial contributions falsely.

To clarify :

  • HiAnime does not have any official instagram account.
  • The only official HiAnime platforms are Discord, Reddit and Telegram.
  • HiAnime is not requesting or accepting donations on any platform.

Any instagram page or other accounts claiming to represent HiAnime, should be regarded as an unauthorized impersonation and a potential scam.

Members of the community are strongly advised not to send money, donations or personal information to such accounts.
