Times of Oman warns readers about fake accounts on social media

Muscat: Fake social media accounts, posting news and attributing it to the Times of Oman by using its logo, have increasingly been observed recently.

Readers and followers of our online stories and social media accounts are warned against these accounts who try to imitate the newspaper’s online presence to spread fake news stories and could potentially lead to those who click on these links being scammed.

These fraudulent accounts are designed to imitate the official Times of Oman website, using our newspaper’s logo and branding to mislead the public. We urge all internet users to avoid being deceived by these scams as they could lead to dangerous websites that might steal personal information.

To ensure that you are accessing authentic and reliable news, the Times of Oman advises readers to follow its verified social media channels on Twitter (@timesofoman), LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/times-of-oman), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/timesofoman/), and Instagram (@timesofoman) .
