Being wary of online impersonations is crucial in today’s digital age.
The Pahang Sultanate has recently alerted the public about the presence of fake social media accounts posing as the Sultan of Pahang and other royal family members.
Is it true that these fraudulent accounts are attempting to deceive the public?
Verdict:
TRUE
The public has been warned to remain vigilant against fake social media accounts impersonating the Sultan of Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, members of the Pahang royal family and the Pahang Sultanate.
In a post on its official Facebook page, the Pahang Sultanate addressed the issue of fake accounts allegedly belonging to Tengku Ampuan Pahang Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah and Tengku Mahkota Pahang Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah.
It was clarified that Tunku Azizah only has an active personal Instagram account, while Tengku Hassanal's Instagram handle is 'this.7'.
The public has been reminded that all official royal announcements will be made exclusively through verified platforms under the name of Kesultanan Pahang, with its legitimate Facebook account having around 685,000 followers.
Other social media platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X also carry the official Kesultanan Pahang name, while the official palace website is istanapahang.my. - Bernama
