The Member of Parliament Zainal Sapari, of Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, has warned of an imposter trying to scam people by making a Facebook account on his name and then asking people for money. “An unknown person has created a scam Facebook page using my name and photo,” Mr Zainal wrote in a Facebook post yesterday afternoon. “He may have send you a personal message to be friends and follow up with a message about UN funding that I have received.”
Sapari said that he would appreciate if people will report it as scam further adding that he could not do this because the fake account user has blocked him. He ended his message with a plea to not fall prey to this scam. According to Today Online, the imposter would inform about UN funding and then try to direct unsuspecting victims to click on an external link, where they could supposedly register to receive cash from the United Nations Development Programme as well. “He will then ask for your particulars. I’m not sure, but I think it will eventually reach a stage where he will supposedly transfer money to your bank account – but before that, you will have to pay a ‘processing fee’,” Mr Zainal had informed Strait Times.
The fake Facebook account carried Mr Zainal’s name and his most recent profile photo. Mr Zainal has since changed his profile picture as of 6pm yesterday.The image shows the fake facebook account by Zainal Bin Sapari’s name.
