Kosovo businessman  Behgjet Pacolli  has called on citizens not to fall prey to a scam being perpetrated in his name.

In a reaction, Pacolli states that an unknown person in Albania has managed to imitate his data through digital technology, contacting his people via WhatsApp, asking for money under the pretext that they urgently need it. 

He says that people have requested amounts ranging from 10 thousand to 95 thousand euros.

According to him, several people have fallen prey to the scam, and he was made aware of it by a friend of his, who realized it wasn't him from the way he wrote. 

Full reaction:

ANNOUNCEMENT FOR MY FRIENDS – PLEASE READ!

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!
