Margibi County Senator-elect Nathaniel F. McGill has issued a disclaimer here detaching himself from several WhatsApp and Facebook accounts bearing his name describing them as fake.
In a statement issued Sunday, December 17, the former Minister of State for Presidential Affairs sounded the alarm saying “My attention has been drawn to fake, and slanderous Facebook and WhatsApp accounts created in my name, with my picture, speaking like me, and defrauding people of their hard-earned money.
This is to inform the general public, especially the online community that I have not authorized anyone to set up, operate, or make any post on my behalf with such accounts.
I have only one Facebook account and phone number to contact family and friends. This is my only approved Official Facebook page, “Hon. Nathaniel F. McGill”.
Besides, we have continued to report these activities to the police about the criminal individuals who are still using WhatsApp and Facebook accounts with my picture, speaking like me, and defrauding people; the practice continues.
We are again warning the public to be mindful of these criminals individuals. Anytime, someone calls you as Nathaniel McGill, please verify by asking the person to do a video call so that you can see the person.”
Mr. McGill cautioned that he is not in the business of negotiating business deals with people and warned the public to avoid doing business with people in his name.
Mr. McGill who was certificated barely two weeks ago among dozens of other lawmakers-elect admonished the public to contact his contact office anytime they receive a message or WhatsApp call from anyone calling themselves Nathaniel McGill.
