Fashola has urged members of the public to be wary of the antics of fraudsters.

The former Governor in a statement signed by his special adviser on media, Hakeem Bello at the weekend reiterated that his twitter account remains @tundefashola and not @Gov_Rajifashola

He said it was unfortunate that despite repeated warnings and disclaimers certain unscrupulous elements still engage in the act of defrauding unsuspecting members of the public through different social media platforms falsely linked to him.

It would be recalled that Fashola also recently drew attention to his hacked twitter account and distanced himself from a Facebook scam, in which some unscrupulous persons use his photographs and ascribe fictitious statements to him on the fake Facebook accounts aimed at defrauding innocent people.

Fashola said the call became necessary for the umpteenth time in view of the activities of scammers who he said have been issuing out series of Facebook comments and information in his name with the intention of duping unsuspecting members of the public.

Fashola said the conmen have, through Facebook, been urging unsuspecting people to apply for some government facilities or utilities meant to benefit the public but to which some agencies of government have been given the responsibility to manage.
