The fake account is khalidalkhaIifa...replacing the second l with a capital I.\" The warning by Shaikh Khalid, who has 31,881 followers, drew a wave of sympathy. \"You have the verified account. I don\'t think anyone will take it seriously. There\'s only ONE, real Khalid that we all love,\" a follower wrote.
