Actor Soni Razdan took to social media on Saturday and shared a post alerting netizens of a “huge scam” where scammers call innocent citizens and try to extract money out of them. Soni said that she got a call from someone pretending to be from Delhi Customs as they accused her of ordering “illegal drugs.” She shared that they asked for her Aadhar number and asked her for money but she did not fall for it.
In a post on Instagram, Soni shared, “There is a huge scam going around everyone. Someone calls up pretending to be from Delhi Customs… and says you have ordered some illegal drugs. Or they say they’re from the police or something of that nature… They try to get your Aadhar card number from you. I got the same call. Then they intimidate you to the point that you transfer a large sum of money to them. Bottom line is don’t fall for it. Someone we know just did and it’s a nightmare if you get psyched.”
She added that as soon as they asked for Aadhar card number, she knew that it was something fishy and she hung up. “Luckily I told them I’d let them know later as soon as they asked for the Aadhar number. Of course, they didn’t call back. But it’s scary. Save any numbers that you get calls from and go to the police. I know of 3 people un the last few weeks wo have gotten these calls,” she wrote.
She also shared in the caption that it is very easy to get confused after such calls so people should be aware of this ongoing scam. “It’s very easy to get confused when you get a call of this nature and think it’s a real call. Trust me I almost thought it was. When I spoke to someone they told me it was a scam and to ignore it. But it seems to be getting worse and honestly it’s not that difficult to think you’re in trouble even if it’s not your fault …. And it’s a mistake. So beware. THIS IS A SCAM @mumbaipolice,” she wrote as she tagged Mumbai Police.
