The Member of Parliament for Asuogyaman Thomas Ampem Nyarko has called on the general public to beware of fraudsters and scammers who have created fake Facebook accounts in his name duping unsuspecting people.
The MP cautioned that people should not deal with such characters for any offer and purported job recruitment opportunities.
“It has come to my attention that some fraudsters are using my name, pictures and other Facebook accounts they have created to extort monies from people with the promise of assisting them in many different things. Please note that I will not take any amount from anyone for any help that I can genuinely offer. Pls be alert and don’t fall for such tricks. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the only Facebook account I own. Any other one is fake.”
This is coming at the back of concerns raised by some members of Parliament on the vetting committee over widespread fake Facebook accounts created in the name of public figures to defraud unsuspecting individuals particularly the youth seeking employment opportunities.
The National Security Minister-designate Albert Kan Dapaa said his ministry is still in talks with stakeholders to clamp down on the growing phenomenon
