Bollywood actor Sonu Sood recently asked people to watch out for fraudsters who have, apparently, started a fake loan service, under his name. 

According to reports, these people claimed to be working with his foundation and asked people to pay a legal fee of Rs 3,500.

To put an end to this, Sood has finally decided to take action and is also planning to file a case against the fraudsters. 

Apparently, these people also made a fake approval letterhead under Sonu Sood's foundation name. Not just that, the letters also showed the bank account number that was created by the tricksters. 

A case has already been filed in the matter.

Furthermore, the letter created by these people also said that cash deposits would not be accepted and as for EMIs, one would have to pay Rs 7,548.49 every month.

As soon as Sonu heard the news, he took to social media to ensure everyone is aware that some people are misusing his name and trying to lure people to take the loans.

Sonu Sood tweeted "Sood Charity Foundation’ does not provide any kind of loans. Please BEWARE of these scams and frauds. One such fake number is +91 90072 24111. Thank you!"

He also took to Instagram and posted the letter, as he urged his fans to remain cautious.

Sonu Sood has been at the forefront during challenging times as he helped stranded migrant workers travel back to their hometown, by arranging flights, buses, trains etc. 

His innumerous humanitarian activities have made people see him as somewhat of a 'saviour'. Recently, he also mortgaged eight properties in Mumbai to provide help for lesser privileged people.
