Luke Littler has warned fans to be careful of scammers selling fake signed goods online.
The 17-year-old has enjoyed a stunning rise to fame over the past few months, ever since shining at the World Darts Championship.
Littler is set for a big future in the sport as a result, with the teenager also currently playing in the Premier League.
Yet while fame can be a good thing, it can also carry plenty of negatives as well.

Littler believes some scammers have attempted to flog fake signed goods as a result of his stunning performances.
And the darts star wants his fans to be careful with what they buy, admitting he hasn't signed too much so far.
"There are a few people out there who will try to steal it (my signature) and say it’s me and that," he said, per Dartsnews.com.
"I have seen quite a few over the past few weeks after the world championship.
"People have been privately messaging me saying: ‘Have you signed this, have you signed that?’
"No. Sorry to bring it to you, but I haven’t signed much…"
Littler also recently discussed his interactions with fans.
And the youngster joked that he was forced to flee from a fan in Asda after he'd been spotted in the supermarket.
"It was the middle of nowhere, I couldn't even tell you where, and I got recognised outside Asda," he said.
"Soon as I walked in someone wanted a photo. I had to go and sit in the car!"
Littler is expected to soon be earning millions as a result of his stock soaring.
And Eddie Hearn believes the rise of the 17-year-old is a good thing for darts because it helps the sport grow.
Speaking in midweek, Hearn said: “He's making a lot of money on and off the oche.
"It's the first time really that a darts player has signed major sponsorship deals with major brands.
"I mean outside of your PDC partners, outside of your manufacturers and darts companies.
