Anuj shared the conversation he had with the imposter. In the conversation when the imposter was claiming to be from a production house, he was confronted by the actor. Apparently Anuj Sachdeva had used Truecaller (a caller identification app) to get information about the imposter who contacted him claiming it was from Red Chillies Production.

The actor attached the name and number as it displayed on the app. The actor sent him the screenshot of what his name reflected on the Truecaller app. Here is what the imposter told Anuj:

Hi
My name is Aditi, I work as a casting director with Red Chillies Production, currently working on a film would like to test you for an important role, let us know your availability?

To this, Anuj Sachdeva had responded saying,

And Piyush achi photo laga..issey fraud nahi kar payega. Not convincing.

Translates to: Put a better profile picture. You will not be able to fool anyone with this. Not convincing.

Truecaller App identified the imposter as "Money Fraud Piyush"

Truecaller identified the number and the name of the person and reflected “Money Fraud Piyush”. Further, the location showed Kolkata. After Anuj Sachdeva sent the imposter a screenshot of what Truecaller showed, the imposter asked him why he was trusting an app. Anuj Sachdeva gave a response saying that he was trusting the app as the person is not his relative.
