Sunny Leone faced online fraud of Rs 2,000

The actor is not just one-off high profile persons to become victim of online fraud. Recently, the sexy siren of Bollywood Sunny Leone was also defrauded as her PAN details were used for a fintech loan fraud.

Leone had tweeted in February, “This just happened to me. INSANE. Some idiot used my Pan to take a 2000 RS loan and FCK’d my CIBIL score (SIC)”, referring to her credit score.

Just a month after Sunny’s episode, the online fraud with leading actor Rajkumar Rao raises many questions about easy yet gullible mode of online transaction.

On the work front, Rao will be seen in films like “Hit”, “Monica, O My Darling” and “Bheed”.
