JOHOR BARU – The Johor Health Department (JKNJ) today reminded the public not to be duped by messages impersonating its director Datuk Dr Aman Rabu.

JKNJ, in a post on Facebook, said there are messages asking for money going around falsely claiming to be from Dr Aman.

“All WhatsApp or Telegram messages impersonating JKNJ director Datuk Dr Aman Rabu and asking for money are fake.

“It is a scammer masquerading as the director. We are requesting recipients of such messages not to be deceived,” said the statement.

Yesterday, various parties, including Johor media practitioners, received a WhatsApp message from Dr Aman reminding them not to be deceived by messages impersonating him.

“I would like to apologise to everyone who knows me. Please ignore a request from my Telegram account, which I fear has been hacked. Please forgive me,” he said. – Bernama, December 11, 2022
