Afenyo-Markin cautions public over fake facebook accounts

The Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has cautioned the public to be alert and not fall victim to imposters who use his photos and name to set up fake accounts on Facebook and use them for all manner of unlawful activities.

Mr. Afenyo-Markin clarified that he has only one Facebook account and it is an officially verified account, Hon.Alexander kwamena Afenyo-Markin, with a blue verification badge.

He said all other accounts without the blue verification, are fake even if they have his photos and names.

It has come to the attention of the Deputy Majority Leader that some faceless persons are on a constant impersonation agenda using his names and images on facebook.

Though handlers of his authentic and verified account have remained vigilant in reporting the said impersonators, they continue to change their modus operandi.

His office has received several reports from persons who have fallen victim to the activities of such impersonators.

In fact, Afenyo-Markin has had reason in the past to issue an official statement over to caution the pubic over the matter but after a while, the impersonators renewed their energies and method.

His official Facebook page, Hon.Alexander kwamena Afenyo-Markin, with a blue verification badge, is not an inactive one and gets updated quite often albeit not on a daily bases.

The page mostly has photos and briefs of developmental projects of Afenyo-Markin in the Effutu Constituency, where he is the Member of Parliament.
