It was not immediately known if Pingris and Sotto were able to break off the scammer’s access to their accounts as the basketball player did not expound on the matter.

Pingris and Sotto earlier made headlines after cheating speculations involving him and actress Kim Rodriguez arose. These stemmed from the photos of Pingris and Rodriguez which netizens pointed out to be taken at the same location.

Pingris denied the rumors, saying the two of them were together merely because of basketball events in which Rodriguez served as his team’s muse.

Sotto, for her part, admitted she was bothered by how “people make up stories.” She also disclosed reminding Pingris to be mindful of his actions around other people that might be misinterpreted by the public.

Pingris and Sotto, who have been married since 2007, share three children together, namely Jean Michael, Caela and Jean-Luc.
