An Andheri-based fashion stylist has registered an FIR at Amboli police station after an unknown person created a fake profile in her name on a dating app, and sent multiple messages to people for a meet. The stylist, 43, has since been receiving calls and messages from potential matches.

The complainant has been living in Andheri with her husband for the past three years. She has a public Instagram account and has shared her mobile number for professional purposes. According to the police, she has been receiving suspicious messages on her mobile phone from various unknown numbers since June. Messages such as “You had called me to meet” were received. Initially, she ignored them, but as the frequency of such messages increased, she started blocking the numbers.
