Police has received a report regarding a suspicious TikTok account impersonating Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, under the name “Saifuddin_Nasution1”, allegedly using AI-generated content to lure victims with financial aid offers.
Bukit Aman CID acting director Datuk Fadil Marsus confirmed the report and warned the public against believing any social media offers of financial assistance without proper verification.
“Always check the authenticity of such claims before taking any action,” he said in a statement last night.
Reports indicate that several TikTok accounts have used the name and photo of Saifuddin Nasution, falsely claiming that the minister is distributing aid through a WhatsApp link embedded in the profile bio.
The Home Minister’s Office clarified that Saifuddin has never offered financial assistance through social platforms and urged the public to avoid being deceived.
