The United States Embassy in Dhaka has issued an official warning advising the public and relevant stakeholders to exercise extreme caution regarding fraudulent social media profiles operating online. According to the information released by the diplomatic mission, these deceitful accounts have been purposefully created by unlawfully utilizing the identities of American diplomats stationed in the region.
This crucial safety advisory and cautionary message was formally disseminated by the US Embassy in Dhaka on Tuesday, September 15th. The embassy underscored the importance of remaining vigilant against such impersonation tactics, which are frequently employed on various digital and social networking platforms to deceive unsuspecting individuals or organizations.
While addressing the issue through their official communication channel, the United States Embassy in Dhaka explicitly stated, "যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের কূটনীতিকদের পরিচয় ব্যবহার করে তৈরি ভুয়া সোশ্যাল মিডিয়া প্রোফাইল থেকে সাবধান থাকুন." This direct advisory translates to a clear call for awareness, urging everyone to stay on guard against the deceptive profiles that falsely claim association with official American diplomatic personnel.
