Anupam Kher Warns Fans About Fake Video Scam on Telegram

Renowned actor Anupam Kher recently took to social media to alert his followers about a deceptive video circulating under his name. In a stern message, Kher cautioned his fans against a fraudulent video created by an individual named Rehan Malik, who operates a Telegram channel named "Rehan Malik - Honest Tipper." This channel is reportedly linked to a betting site.

Kher's tweet reads: "BEWARE: A friend sent me this video! Where one #RehanMalik has made my fake video and posted it on his #TelegramChannel under the name of 'Rehan Malik - Honest Tipper!' It is a betting site. Please don’t get conned by it! Thanks. @CPMumbaiPolice @Mum_CyberPolice."

The video in question falsely features Anupam Kher, a well-respected figure in Indian cinema, presumably endorsing the betting site. This tactic aims to mislead viewers into believing that Kher supports or is associated with the platform, thereby lending it unwarranted credibility.

Kher's prompt action to expose this scam underscores the importance of vigilance against online fraud. By tagging the official handles of the Mumbai Police Commissioner and the Mumbai Cyber Police, Kher has also sought the intervention of law enforcement to address the issue.

The Mumbai Police and the Mumbai Cyber Police have been alerted to this fraudulent activity. Their involvement is crucial in tracking down the perpetrator and preventing further dissemination of the fake video. Such scams not only tarnish the reputation of the individuals involved but also pose a significant risk to unsuspecting users who might be duped into parting with their money.
