Phony Twitter account targets Garcetti

| | Comments (0) |

City Councilman Eric Garcetti is finding the downside of being a popular politician, with someone developingi a Twitter account using his name.
"So far, it seems harmlesss, but we would prefer people got the real information from us," spokesman Yusef Robb, said of the site: #eric_garcetti.
The site, with a picture of an open-mouthed Garcetti identifies him as "your next mayor, your next best friend, your next everything."
Tweets on it are fairly harmless items, but aides are concerned it could develop into something malicious.
"We wish they had a more appropriate name like #toomuchtimeonour hands,' Robb said.
