Finfluencer Anupam Gupta said his name and address were used to take a loan without his knowledge and he was being chased by Mobikwik agents to repay it.
Identity theft and loan fraud have become a major concern in today's world with Anupam Gupta, a financial influencer, being the latest victim. His name and address were used to take a loan without his knowledge and he was being "chased by Mobikwik agents" to repay this loan, he said. From 28th April onwards, the calls and WhatsApp pings started. @MobiKwik collection agents said repay the loan. I said I have taken no loan. When I asked for details, here is the ledger they sent me. pic.twitter.com/z9c5uPEnn5
Though Mobikwik has halted the loan calls for now and is trying to resolve this, the fact that a finfluencer, who is also a chartered accountant, could fall victim to such a fraud shows the grim reality of identity theft.
Sharing screenshots of his CIBIL (which maintains credit files in India) enquiry on X, Mr Gupta said a Rs 30,000 personal loan was taken from Lendbox, an online peer lending platform, using his name and contact details.
