Alperen Duymaz, actor of the series "Leyla", became a victim of fraud

Alperen Duymaz, a popular actor who appears as "Civan" in the series "Leyla" on NOW TV, this time made headlines not because of his talent but due to an unfortunate incident. This well-known actor became a victim of online fraud and has filed a complaint against those responsible.

"Leyla" series still highly popular

The series "Leyla: Life... Love... Justice..." which airs every Wednesday night on NOW TV, continues to receive a great deal of attention from the audience and has become one of the most popular TV shows these days. Alperen Duymaz plays the role of "Civan" in this series, and his performance has been praised by critics and viewers.

How was Duymaz deceived?

This actor, who is always in the media spotlight due to his professional acting and personal life, has now made the news because of this fraud incident. According to reports, someone or a group of people misused Alperen Duymaz's name to create a fake food delivery account and placed 14 separate orders using that account.

Personal data theft

Alperen Duymaz's lawyer, Ilker Atamer, announced in a statement published on social media that his client's personal information, including phone number, home address, and ID number, has been stolen.

Legal action against the fraudsters

Atamer also emphasized that they have approached the judicial authorities to follow up on this matter and have requested the identification of the fraudster's IP address from the related website.

Lawyer Ilker Atamer said on this matter:

The stolen personal information of citizens is now being used to harass them through fake food orders. My client, Alperen Duymaz, while present on the set for filming, fell victim to this type of fraud, and 14 fake food orders were placed in his name, causing interruptions to the shooting. On the same day, two other relatives of his in different cities were also targeted by similar fraud. This indicates that the perpetrators not only had access to his contact information and address but also to his identification details.

We have officially submitted a request to the judiciary to identify the IP address from the mentioned website, and we have also reported an Instagram account that is illegally selling celebrities' phone numbers. The fact is that citizens' personal data has been circulating online for a long time and is being used to commit various crimes. Given this situation, instead of remaining inactive, a solution such as issuing new national ID numbers based on secure and updated algorithms must be considered.
