A LOCAL DJ has brought in the cops after his social media was hacked by trolls. 

George Bowie woke to the news this morning his Twitter account had been hijacked by a hacker spouting vile sectarian slurs and other bizarre slogans at around 2am. 

The Clyde 1 DJ said: “This is the second time something like this has happened to me in six months.”

We told previously how scammers were posing as Bowie on fake accounts and trying to lure people into giving their bank details away. 

The GBX star revealed he is having doubts about being on social media. 

“It’s a double edged sword. You see your follower count go up and up and you think: That’s great.

“But actually you’re just a target for scammers. Sometimes I wonder if social media is even worth it. 

“Does the good outweigh the bad? 

"The scamming really got to me because these are your fans, these are people who trust you and who pay your wages and someone betrays that trust through you.”

Police attended the Clydebank station this morning and Bowie said they have launched a probe into the incident.  

“I woke up and my wife had left a note on the kitchen table explaining what happened,” he added. 

He remains locked out of the account and was unable to even read the offensive tweets until he got into work this morning.

Some of the now-deleted tweets read: “WATP 55”, "CELTIC FANS DRINK BATH WATER PASS IT ON” and “NEIL LENNON IS SOME BOY 55”.

Another read: “F*** the pope”, which was sent in the early hours of the morning. 

He said: “I read some of them and I thought: I have to do a radio show now and if I sit here and read them I will be thinking about it all day.

“When I came off air, they had all been deleted and there was a message - which wasn’t from me - which said: Sorry guys, it has all been sorted. 

“I still can’t get onto my Twitter and someone else is running it. 

“It bothers me because 99 per cent of people will see that and know it’s not me but there will be people who see that and think: Oh, that’s terrible what he said."

Bowie, who does not drink, worries that people would think he was up drinking at a late hour when he had to be up early for work. 

He added: "I told the police there was a lot of sectarian abuse, so could we look at this as a sectarian hate crime, rather than a cybercrime?"

Police Scotland were approached for comment.
