Kevin Smith is a busy man with many projects ranging from his multiple Mooby’s Pop-Up locations and the new Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash to writing new follow-ups to his classic films Clerks and Mallrats. While Smith has certainly been generous in the past, we’re sorry to report the director has no plans to give away $20,000. If you see something of the sort floating around Facebook, it’s a scam. Smith responded to a couple of tweets about the supposed giveaway today and revealed the funny reason why fans should know it’s a fake.

SCAM! This is not me! (But if the scammers were good at their jobs, the prize would have been $27,575.) https://t.co/ehIEAZVLny
