Mangaluru, Apr 25: A fake Facebook account has been created in the name of Mangaluru police commissioner N Shashi Kumar.
Warning about the fake account and urging people not to fall prey to any requests for money, the commissioner on Sunday April 25 said, "A fake account with same photo (and) details created.. all be careful.. because some one may start requesting to transfer some money.. all be alert on such requests."
"There were reports in the past of cyber criminals opening fake facebook accounts in the name of police department officials, extracting their friends' lists from their accounts and sending requests for donations," he said.
A few days ago, fraudsters had created a fake account of Udupi deputy commissioner on Facebook and contacted people asking for financial help. The same had happened in the name of Bantwal police personnel as well.
