Guyana’s president says Facebook profile is fake
GEORGETOWN, Guyana — Officials in Guyana are warning Facebook users that anybody on the site pretending to be president of the South American country is not their friend.
A statement from Bharrat Jagdeo’s office warns users of the social networking site to ignore postings purported to be from the president. It says some apparently were meant to defraud people by offering to lease state property.
The government statement was released late Tuesday and the false Facebook profile has already disappeared.
Another fake Facebook profile for Jagdeo appeared a year ago boasted of 174 supporters before it was taken down.
Jagdeo also previously complained that he was impersonated on hi5, another site. He says he uses no social networking sites.

My face book profile has been disabled because, they say, I put p0rn on the site. I did not have the chance to verify what happened, neither they did a single verification, just closed my account. I only had pictures of my cats and myself riding a bike and driving my car. I can not understand how this people works, but it seems pretty bad, as their site is full of problems, security issues, facilitates ped0philes to contact kids, lets p0rn uploads, they permit racist groups, even your profile can be easily hacked. |
