City officials issue a warning about fraudulent Instagram profiles circulating within the city

In the heart of September 2025, the city of Gütersloh is issuing a warning to its residents about a fake Instagram account posing as the official city communication channel.

The imposter account, identified by the handle @mnmlrec, has managed to amass around 260 followers. However, it's essential to note that this account has no connection to the city's official Instagram and should be avoided.

The city has already reported the fake account to Instagram, and citizens are asked not to subscribe to this false channel. The city's official Instagram account, www.instagram.com/@stadtguetersloh, can be recognised by the verification badge from Meta (a white checkmark on a blue background).

Official announcements from the city of Gütersloh are made only via the verified communication channels. The city is requesting its citizens to be vigilant and not to disclose any personal information to the fake profile @mnmlrec.

Citizens are also asked not to respond to suspicious messages from this account and to report it immediately. Messages are currently being sent from this fake profile, which should not be accepted.

The city is currently warning its citizens about the imposter profile @mnmlrec, and it's important for everyone to stay informed and protect their personal information.

Remember, the only official Instagram account of the city of Gütersloh is @stadtguetersloh. Always verify the authenticity of any communication before engaging with it. Stay safe, Gütersloh!
