President impersonated on Facebook

A fake profile of President Bharrat Jagdeo has been     discovered on the popular social networking website www.facebook.com for the second time in about a year.
The Office of the President, in a release yesterday, said that “the impersonator is apparently using the profile to defraud supporters of the website by offering them land and other concessions.”

The Guyana Police Force has since been notified about the impersonation. OP is asking all members of the public “to ignore this impersonation.”

January last, similar accusations had been made by the Office of the President and the police had been asked to investigate.

On that occasion, OP said that a photograph and biography of Jagdeo was on the profile.

OP also stressed that the President is not a subscriber to facebook.com or any other such website. OP said that in July 2008, a fake profile of the President was found on another social website www.HI5.com.
