Actress Shriya Saran let her followers know that there’s a fake account on WhatsApp posing as her, trying to connect with people using her name and image. On Instagram, she called out the impersonator and posted screenshots, asking them to quit.
She pointed out that the imposter wasn’t just contacting random folks but also went after people she looked up to, which raised some alarms.
Addressing her followers on Instagram, Shriya wrote, “Please stop writing to people and wasting time (sic).” Shriya included a screenshot of the fake account number and warned her followers to stay vigilant.
The actress who was seen last in Mirai, stated she wasn’t involved in this and wrote, “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 doing this? Go get a life, not someone’s impersonator (sic).” She urged her contacts to disregard any such messages.
She also posted a warning on her Instagram Stories, by posting, “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 (sic).”
