Multiple Incidents of Fraudulent Emails and Impersonation Emerge, Targeting Aspiring Artists.
T-Series has issued repeated warnings and public statements to distance itself from individuals and operations falsely leveraging the company's name to defraud aspiring artists, primarily through deceptive email solicitations and impersonation scams promising music video opportunities. The company explicitly states that it does not use personal email addresses like Gmail for official communications and urges the public to verify any contact through its official channels.
Initial Wave of Deception
In July 2024, T-Series flagged fraudulent emails originating from [email protected]. These messages falsely claimed to represent the company, offering chances to appear in music videos. T-Series was quick to point out that its official contact details are listed on its website and that it would not be responsible for any fallout from interactions with these unauthorized parties.

Recurring Scams and Impersonation
Later, in May 2025, reports surfaced detailing a more impactful scam where a fraudster, pretending to be a T-Series representative, duped at least 17 aspiring artists. This individual reportedly promised roles in T-Series projects and collected money under false pretenses. T-Series reiterated its commitment to integrity, emphasizing that all official dealings and hiring occur solely through verified channels and that no representative demands payment for casting opportunities. The company's name trending as #TSeriesScam on social media platforms highlighted the reputational damage these incidents caused, despite its direct non-involvement.
Official Response and Public Advisory
In response to these occurrences, T-Series has consistently released official statements. These advisories serve to:
Clarify official communication channels: Emphasizing verification through the company's website.
Denounce fraudulent claims: Explicitly stating no affiliation with the scammers.
Warn the public: Urging vigilance and reporting of suspicious activities.
Reinforce integrity: Reasserting that official hiring processes do not involve upfront payments for casting.
The company's stance underscores a recurring problem where its established brand is exploited by individuals seeking to illicitly profit from the ambitions of artists hoping for a break in the music industry.
