Leading Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao on Saturday issued an alert stating he had become a victim of fraud after his PAN card was used for taking a loan in his name. He wrote on social media that his credit score had been affected as a result of the incident and requested the Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL) to take note of the issue. Rajkummar tweeted, "#FraudAlert My pan card has been misused and a small loan of ₹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."

This isn't the first time Rajkummar has been through such a plight after he revealed on his Instagram Stories back in January that a fake email was sent in his name to extort Rs 3 crore. Sharing 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." The mail he sent read, "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." Rajkummar further stated, "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 ₹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 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."
