BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake issues a warning about scammers pretending to be her on Instagram.

A fake page on the social media site, called "mayorsrb," asks Instagram users to "Like" and "Follow."

The mayor warns it is a hoax and asks people not to post any personal information.
