The Governor’s office has revealed that fraudulent Facebook accounts impersonating Her Excellency the Governor, Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam, have surfaced.
More alarmingly, the Governor’s office indicated that unsuspecting individuals have been targeted with messages through these fake accounts, soliciting money.
The Governor’s Office has identified two fraudulent Facebook accounts.
If you happen to receive any form of communication from accounts using the Governor’s name, it is strongly advised to ignore them, especially if the correspondence involves requests for financial payments.
The matter has been officially reported to both the police and Facebook for further investigation.
The Governor’s Office has emphasized that no official business is conducted through social media private messaging platforms, further advising that correspondence from Her Excellency the Governor and the Governor’s Office will be conducted exclusively through official government email addresses.
The only recognized Facebook account of Her Excellency the Governor and the Governor’s Office is titled ‘Turks and Caicos Islands, Governor’s Office,’ and the sole official Instagram account is ‘@governorturksandcaicos.’ The public is advised to rely on these verified accounts for official information and updates.
