A Merseyside council has issued a statement after a imitation Facebook profile told local people to "get a job."
Wirral Council has issued a statement after a Facebook profile pretending to be the council swore at local people and told them to "get a job." The account had the same name and profile picture as Wirral Council's official Facebook profile, and had posted multiple comments beneath council posts.
In posts seen by the ECHO, the fake account responded to one woman's concerns about street lights. It said: "Can you contribute and maybe pay your council tax bill? Then maybe then we could afford to turn them back on."
