'This Is Not My Number': Shriya Saran Reacts After Impersonator Contacts People To Scam Using Her Name

Actor Shriya Saran has raised an alarm on social media after discovering that someone is impersonating her and contacting people under her name. Sharing a screenshot of the fake number on Instagram, Shriya urged the imposter to stop immediately and warned her followers against engaging with the fraudulent account or making any payments.

Addressing her followers on Instagram, Shriya wrote, "Please stop writing to people and wasting time," she said.

"This is not me! Not my number! On a lighter note, the only good thing is, this crappy person is reaching out to people I admire and would love to work with! Very strange! Why would you waste your time to do this? Go get a life, not someone’s impersonator!," she further added.

She also wrote, "Scam alert Fake…Getting calls from friends that someone is trying to impersonate me, kindly stay away from this fake number from any communications, work booking, strictly no payments!”

Her fans expressed concern on the matter and one user wrote, "Anyone who knows your vibe would never fall for a fake. The class, the confidence, the way you carry yourself, impersonators can't copy that."

Another user wrote, "Really sorry you’re having to deal with something this stressful, Shriya Ma’am. It must be so frustrating to see someone misuse your name and trouble people like this. You handled it with so much grace, and your real fans completely understand your feelings—no impersonator can ever come close to the warmth, dignity and that lovely smile you’re known for. More strength to you Ma’am"
