Behgjet Pacolli denounces: Some people in Albania are demanding amounts of up to 95 thousand euros in my name

Businessman Behgjet Pacolli has denounced a fraud scheme being used in Albania in his name.

Pacolli writes in reaction that certain people are asking for money in his name, amounts ranging from 10 to 95 thousand euros.

The businessman has called on citizens not to trust these people, but to denounce them.

POSTING:

Recently, sophisticated criminal groups have emerged that are using various methods to deceive people and gain large sums of money.

Unfortunately, such a case has also happened with my identity, in Albania.

An unknown person used my photo and, through digital technology, also imitated my phone number. He contacted some of my friends via WhatsApp, asking for money with the excuse that I needed it urgently in Tirana, and that I would return it the next day.

The messages were of the type:

"I urgently need money in Tirana now. I'm sending someone to get it, and I'll come back tomorrow and give it back."

These requests have been for large amounts – from 10 to 95,000 euros.

Unfortunately, some people believed and sent money.

It wasn't until April 1st that an attentive friend realized that my writing style wasn't my style and immediately let me know.

PLEASE: DON'T BE FOOLED!

I don't ask for money from anyone.

If you receive any suspicious messages in my name, do not react – but immediately notify the police or inform me directly.

Together we can stand up to these unscrupulous fraudsters.

I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and trust!
