How Scammers Misused Rajkumar Rao’s PAN Card To Take Loan, Actor’s Credit Score Takes A Hit
MUMBAI: Rajkumar Rao, the popular Bollywood actor from films like Stree, Shaadi mei Zarur Aana, etc has recently announced on his official Twitter account that his credit card has been compromised and was misused. A small amount of Rs 2,500 has been withdrawn and due to this his Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL) score has reduced significantly.
Taking to Twitter, Rajkummar wrote, “#FraudAlert My pan card has been misused and a small loan of Rs 2500 has been taken on my name. Due to which my cibil score has been affected. @CIBIL_Official please rectify the same and do take precautionary steps against this.”
Replying to his tweet, official CIBIL account tweeted, “We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused to you. This is not the experience we want you to have. Request you to DM us the incorrect account number reflecting in your TUCIBIL report by clicking on.”
He has appealed to the officials at CIBIL to look into the matter. This is not the first time that any such incident has happened with an acclaimed celebrity. The 37-year-old actor did not face any such incident for the first time. Earlier, in January, a fake mail was sent in his name for extorting Rs 3 crores.

On Instagram Stories, he had shared a screenshot of the email. The actor wrote, “#Fake guys please be careful of such fake people. I don’t know anyone named Saumya. They are using fake email ids and managers to con people.”
He explicitly shared the mail on his Instagram, which stated, “Hi Arjun, As per our last conversation to you and my manager Saumya, I hereby say that I agree to work in the said film titled Honeymoon package, which is being written by Mr Santosh Maskey and the director on the crew is Also Mr Santosh Maskey. As I am physically not present in Mumbai, I am sending this consent on mail. The process of signing and script narration, the hard copy of the mailed agreement would be done once we are in Mumbai. The agreement will come into effect only when the agreed signing amount of Rs 3,10,000,00 (50% of the total fees) is credited to my bank account or as per My manager Saumya said you are giving me Rs 10,00,00 in cash and 3,00,000,00 by cheque. I am comfortable on 6th of January for the narration in Hyderabad Ramoji Studio. You, director & Producer, are invited here along with all above the mail, Regards, Rajkumar Rao.”
This can be taken as a lesson where neither the celebrities nor the commons are safe in this technologically advanced world. So precaution becomes the most important step in securing ourselves from the increasing cyber crimes.
The famous star would very soon be seen in films like Bheed, Hit and Monica O my Darling, which are expected to be released this year.
