Print BANGALORE: Two lessons for netizens: You can’t trust anyone in the virtual world. Secondly, scamsters on the prowl don’t spare anyone.
The young daughter of an ex-MLA woke up to this rude reality on Thursday, when she learnt that her friend was impersonating her online.
Worse, she realized that her photo and a fake Facebook account in her name were being used for almost a year to flirt with men.
Subsequently, Meghaa, daughter of former MLA Belur Gopalkrishna, lodged a complaint with police that Chennai resident Prathima, 21, misused her photographs and identity to flirt with men.
Police have arrested Prathima and registered a case under the IT Act and for impersonation of the girl.
Meghaa, a BBM graduate and resident of RT Nagar, said she was friends with Prathima but was not in touch with her. However, Prathima allegedly used her photos of Meghaa and her identity to create a fake account in Facebook.
Using this, she started chatting with many people and in some cases started chatting with some men using a mobile chatting service, with Meghaa’s photo.
Meghaa learnt about the impersonation when she met a friend recently. The friend recalled a conversation they had on chat sometime ago. Meghaa was surprised as she couldn’t recollect any such chat. On checking the number used for the chat, she realized that someone was using her photo and a fake account.
"I came to know about this a few days ago. When my daughter told me about this, I asked her to collect enough details about the case. Later we went to RT Nagar police and filed a complaint. Prathima was with Meghaa in school but they never kept in touch," said Belur Gopalkrishna.
Police said following up on the case, a team left for Chennai and made the arrest.
