posted (October 31, 2017)
You might want the GG to be your "FF" - as in Facebook Friend, but he doesn't have a Facebook page. And that's why tonight, Belmopan police are asking your help to find this man: his name is Elston Earl Eligio. Police believe he may now something about setting up an email account and a Facebook page in the name of Governor General Sir Colville Young. A police report paints the picture of wholesale identity theft of the Head of State. Not only is there an email address, there's also a letterhead, a stamp and a scanned signature. Now, the real GG does not have a Facebook page; he only interfaces with the Facebook through the Government press office page; also, he does not have a stamp; and his email is "govgenbz@btl.net".

Police say that 23 year old Elston Earl Eligio, who also calls himself "Dr. Eligio" is wanted by the CIB Office in Belmopan for questioning.

But, beyond that, please be advised that any Facebook accounts or email under the name colville_young@yahoo.com are fake and unauthorized. The Government press office urges the public to disregard any "friend requests or communication from such pages and email and especially refrain from sharing any personal information with said accounts."
