Tonga’s Miss Heilala 2024 / 2025 has alerted her followers on Facebook about a fake account using her photo.

“It’s a fake page” please report, said Racheal Guttenbeil on her Facebook page yesterday.
She also tagged the Facebook account in question which was created with the name Miss Heilala 2024.
A photo that seemed to be Guttenbeil was used in the profile.
Kaniva News was unable to verify the authenticity of the page.
The news comes as the law degree graduate is expected to arrive in the Solomon Islands after next week for the 2025 Pacific Pageant competition.
The schedule for the competition has been released, according to the Solomon Star.
Contestants and their accompanying parties are expected to arrive on Thursday, 30 January, the Star said.
