I'm not sure why both of you believe the impostor (mentioned account) is a real government agency without any type of verification. There was no way of knowing if the fool behind the account was a genuine FIOD agent.

I can think of a reason: timing:
The account was created 2.5 hours before fiod.nl published this article, and posted about it 6 minutes after publication.

And why would FIOD create an account just to announce something that was already on blogs and news outlets?

Ask them? Their number is on their website Tongue

It could be an insider (typist, editor, photocopier) who gained access to the information, but does that make it an official account? I'm talking about how this account might be used to deceive individuals.

Imagine an FBI editor creating an account and posing as FBI agent just because he gets inside informations. Risky

Agreed the red tag was a crossedline but neutral tag is appropriate.

The number on the website isn't connecting.... Grin
