Ernakulam’s District Collector, G. Priyanka, has issued a crucial warning to the public: a fraudulent Facebook account is actively impersonating her. Residents are urged to exercise extreme caution when encountering online profiles claiming to be her official presence.
In an official statement, Collector Priyanka confirmed that she has instructed relevant authorities to swiftly pursue legal action against the individuals operating this fake account. The deceptive page, titled ‘DC Ernakulam (Collector Ernakulam)’, prominently displays her photographs as both its profile and cover pictures, falsely representing itself as the legitimate social media channel for the District Collector.
To ensure the public can distinguish between genuine and fake, the Collector has also highlighted the name of her official page, ‘Collector, Ernakulam’. This proactive step aims to prevent misinformation and protect citizens from potential online scams or misuse of her identity.
