"I'll take over Liverpool, but send money for the flight": Thai police warn of fraudsters posing as Xabi Alonso

The Thai police have warned Liverpool fans about fraudsters posing as Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso.

The essence of this scam is that someone on behalf of Alonso (from a verified Instagram account) writes that he will replace Klopp as Liverpool coach, but he needs 300 baht (7.85 euros) to buy a plane ticket to England:

"I am Xabi Alonso, I will take over Liverpool next season, but I don't have enough money to fly to Liverpool," the Bombardier telegram channel quoted DW as saying.
