Fake It Till You Make It? Man Discovers Fake Company in His Name

Imagine filing your taxes and discovering a multi-crore rupee company registered under your name! This isn’t a scene from a crazy movie; it’s exactly what happened to a man in Madhya Pradesh. Fake Information leads to big trouble!

Red Flags During Tax Season

Chandan Soni, a resident of Gwalior, was in for a nasty surprise while filing his Income Tax Return (ITR). During the process, he unearthed some fake information linked to his PAN card. Someone had created a fake GST number using his details! But that wasn’t all. This fake GST number was then used to establish a full-fledged fake company in Soni’s name – complete with a fictitious address!

Fake Company, Real Trouble?

The fake company, named MG Sales, even boasted a fake turnover of a staggering Rs 9 crore! This discovery sent shivers down Soni’s spine. Not only was his identity stolen, but he was now potentially implicated in some serious financial crimes.

Taking Action Against the Fakers

Soni, understandably alarmed, refused to be a victim. He filed a complaint with the authorities, alleging identity theft and potential financial wrongdoing. The Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi Police has registered a First Information Report (FIR) and is currently investigating the case.
