Rakul Preet Singh warns fans about WhatsApp impersonator
Actress Rakul Preet Singh has alerted her fans after someone began impersonating her on WhatsApp, using her photos and name to chat with people. The fake account is reportedly messaging from the number 8111067586.
What Rakul said
On Monday, November 24, Rakul shared a screenshot on her X handle and asked followers to be careful. She wrote:
“Hi guys… it’s come to my notice that someone is impersonating on WhatsApp as me and chatting with people. Please notice this isn’t my number and do not engage in any random conversations. Kindly block.”
She urged fans not to respond to the messages and to block the number immediately.
Why you should be careful
- Celebrities are often targeted by scammers who use fake profiles to extract money, personal details or spread misinformation.
- Similar impersonation attempts have affected other stars like Aditi Rao Hydari and Shriya Saran in the past.
- Even convincing profile photos and messages don’t guarantee authenticity — always double-check through verified channels.
Quick tips to stay safe
- Do not share personal or financial information with unverified contacts.
- Block and report any suspicious number or profile pretending to be a celebrity.
- Verify through the celebrity’s official social accounts or management before engaging.
Rakul, who recently reprised the role of Ayesha in De De Pyaar De 2, continues to enjoy a strong fan following — and she’s asking everyone to stay vigilant so fraudsters can’t exploit her fans’ trust.
