Vice Governor Teera Anantaseriwidhya said he will file a complaint against the Facebook user who created a profile in his name (in Thai) on Friday.

“Please do not accept his friends request; do not believe him if he claims to be a vice governor; and do not transfer any money,” Bussaya Jaipiam, chief of the Phuket Public Relations office said on behalf of V/Gov Teera.

A similar incident occurred last month, when another user created a Facebook profile using Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong’s picture and a name that sounded very similar to his.

The user then asked several high-ranking Phuket officials to transfer money to his account.

Phuket police are hunting for both of these Facebook users.
