An impostor of the popular actress Funke Akindele has registered a Fake Facebook account and has been deceiving a lot of true Funke Akindele fans into adding 'her' as friend on the social media, as a matter of fact the said account FUNKE AKINDELE https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005972028069&fref=ts now has above 4716 Friends on Facebook.
The motive of the person behind this fake Identity is mischievous and it is primarily to perpetrate FRAUD . The mode of operation of the Fake Funke akindele is to put an information on her status or in private message tell unsuspecting people on her friends list that she is giving out 'GIFTS' this gift may come in different forms and may include but not limited to giving out money for people who needs capital to start a business, i added this Fake Funke akindele as friend on facebook and decided to play along in order to get a first hand experience of her Modus operandi.
I told 'her' i was interested in her gift of startup capital for my business , i told her i need five hundred thousand naira for my business, 'she' then told me to call her 'BANK OFFICER' one Mallam Umaru on 07034994045 , that the money will be transferred to me on same day, i did not want to waste my credit on this voyage of discovery so i asked if the so called Bank officer is also on the GLO network since i have free calls on my Glo line at that time, 'she then gave me the 'Bank officers' Glo number as 07058374052 .
I immediately went ahead and dialled the said Mallam Umaru , the man picked the call and alas he has got an igbo accent , hahahahhaa . after telling her my mission he said he will be sending me five hundred thousand for my business but i must send 10% of that amount which is =N=50,000 Fifty thousand naira to his account immediately as processing fees . again i played along and told him to send me his account number which he sent instantly.

BANK ; Eco Bank
Account Name; Omokaro Sylvester
Account number; 0601125785
