Sonu Sood On Scamsters Making Money Out Of His Philanthropy: 'Every Day I Hear One More Scam In My Name, This Has To Stop'-EXCLUSIVE
Sonu Sood in an exclusive conversation spoke about people imposters conning the needs in his name. Says, strict action must be taken against those who cheat.
An imposter trying to make money through a house-loan scheme on Sonu Sood's behalf has left the actor shell-shocked and disappointed. “It’s very sad that people from these fake foundations to cheat innocent people of their hard-earned money. A needy person looking for financial help for surgery or to pay his child’s school fees …how can anyone cheat them? These distressed people see hope anywhere where they are offered financial help. Scamsters taking advantage of needy people is unforgivable.”
Sonu recalls an incident. “I remember picking up the phone to talk to a scamster. I introduced myself as someone who needs a loan. He said, ‘Sure you have to deposit a registration fee.’ I then told them who I am and warned him not to dare cheat hapless needy citizens. I told him if he needs money he should come to me. That person was so frightened he repeatedly apologized. I told him to come to me if he needs a job.”
However, the fraud scams in Sonu Sood’s name don’t stop. “Every day I hear of one more scam in my name. This has to stop. Some severe action has to be taken against such people so that others may be daunted. We are trying to track down all these tricksters. Every day we are unearthing new names, new phone numbers, and novel modes of swindling people.”
Sonu wants the public to be warned against these con-men. “I want people to know we don’t charge any money to help the needy. A lot of people know that already. Those who don’t know get cheated. I feel it will take time to spread awareness that they don’t need to deposit a fee for registration to get a loan or medical people from me. I want to tell those who get cheated, please don’t fall into the trap. And I want to tell those who cheat people in my name, don’t do it. Gareeb besahara logon ki bad-dua matt lo. There are better ways to make money.”
