**AIIMS Bhopal Issues Warning About Fake Facebook Profiles Impersonating Top Official**
In a recent alert, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Bhopal has cautioned the public about the emergence of multiple fake Facebook profiles impersonating its Executive Director, Professor (Dr) Ajay Singh. This warning comes after the discovery of at least three fraudulent accounts created within the last two days, which are being used by cybercriminals to mislead individuals and solicit money through deceptive claims.
The institute’s official statement, released on Tuesday evening, emphasizes the importance of vigilance when interacting with social media accounts that claim to represent Professor Singh. The fake profiles are reportedly sending friend requests and subsequently asking for financial assistance under various pretenses. Professor Singh noted that this is not the first instance of such fraudulent activities, as similar attempts have occurred in the past using his name.
AIIMS Bhopal has urged the public to verify any communications that appear to be from Professor Singh and to report any suspicious activities to law enforcement authorities immediately. The institute’s proactive stance aims to protect individuals from falling victim to these scams and to maintain the integrity of its communications.
As cyber fraud continues to be a pressing issue, AIIMS Bhopal’s warning serves as a crucial reminder for social media users to remain cautious and informed.
