An imposter, claiming to be Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, has pledged, on microbloging site twitter, to contribute $5 million for Pakistans dam fund.
The fake Twitter account cropped up two days after Prime Minister Imran Khan called on overseas Pakistanis to contribute $1000 each for a fund set up by the Supreme Court to build Diamer-Bhasha dam, the News reported on Monday.
"Pakistan's new government is serious in making dams and I'm sure Imran Khan will make dams in his government. As humanity, #Facebook will also participate in the Dam Fund #Facebook will give $5 million in the #PMDamFund," the imposter tweeted.
In a second tweet, he said that he would soon visit Pakistan as an honest government was installed in the country.
