Passport scammers misuse embassy name

 

USING the name of the Myanmar Embassy to Malaysia, some people cheat on passport services on social media.

In the embassy’s statement, announcements on consular service, approved list of lost or damaged passport replacements, and about C of I are made public on its Facebook, Myanmar Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and internet website https:// myanmarembassykl.org. However, some are found spreading incorrect information, saying they can provide passport service through fake Facebook and TikTok accounts that are created under the embassy name.

It said those pages don’t concern the embassy at all, and it has no responsibility to deal with them.

The embassy will investigate those fake Facebook and TikTok accounts under the law, it said.

Therefore, Myanmar nationals should visit www.mekl. org to check the QR code for the appointment date. WhatsApp +60 1125105774 is provided for text enquiries about consular services. — MT/ZS
