These incidents involved imposters engaging in fraudulent activities and duping unsuspecting fans out of significant amounts of money over false promises. Celebrities like Malhotra and Aaryan have come forward to condemn these fraudulent activities and urge caution among their fans.

In one incident, a fan of Kartik Aaryan was duped of Rs 82 lakh by a scammer who promised a meeting with the actor in exchange for investment in a fictitious film. Similarly, a fan of Johnny Depp was scammed by imposters pretending to be the actor or his team, offering meetings and promising time with him for payment. In a bizarre case, a woman was scammed into believing she was in an online relationship with ‘Stranger Things’ star Dacre Montgomery, resulting in a loss of $10,000 and a divorce.

Chris Evans also faced issues during the lockdown when fans claimed he sent them messages asking for money. The ‘Captain America’ star quickly addressed the situation and warned fans about imposters exploiting them during the Covid crisis. These incidents shed light on the increasing prevalence of scams targeting celebrity fans and the importance of being vigilant and reporting suspicious activities to the authorities. Celebrity fans are urged to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of any requests before taking any action.
