A Newstalk radio presenter was caught up in an ordeal with Facebook after discovering that scammers had been using her photos and information to set up profiles to con her listeners.
Andrea Gilligan, the presenter of Lunchtime Live on Newstalk, explained that a fake account popped up with her photo, name, and occupation, and was offering listeners a €1,000 prize.
Gilligan hit out at Facebook’s process of getting the page removed and said it took her a number of days to have it sorted - with the number of victims, if any, yet to be confirmed.
