March 10, 2025 at 11:46 amI recently searched my name on Google and found a **2019 university result PDF** from a **Tamil Nadu university** that includes my full name and my father’s full name. I have never studied there. I have the PDF, which contains a **register number and roll number**.Could this be a case of impersonation? What steps should I take to address this? Looking for legal advice on how to proceed.

March 10, 2025 at 11:58 amApart from names any other information? Like picture, signature, adress etc.. You can’t sue someone cuz of a name alone. There should be clear information that points towards you.-

HHappypanda1093
OP
March 10, 2025 at 12:58 pmIt is odd because my father’s name consists of a first name, a middle name, a last name, and an initial, and it is exactly the same.-

March 10, 2025 at 4:24 pmok so the odds are maybe low for his father’s name consist same first name, a middle name, a last name, and an initial but not zero. So you can’t do anything unless your any unique id, number is there. The most you can do is you can file a case against them(or maybe ask them first), asking for details of that student from that university. so if they prove that someone else with same details is there you can’t do anything if not then your lawyer will Handle the rest. -

March 10, 2025 at 12:04 pmMost likely that it is a coincidence. India has a huge population and it is unlikely that someone is impersonating you for a university degree. Why would someone even do that?-
HHappypanda1093
OP
March 10, 2025 at 12:08 pmI don’t think it is a coincidence to use my name and my father’s full name, which consists of three names with initials.-

March 10, 2025 at 12:12 pmIs there any reason to impersonate you? There are many people who have same names (including father’s name). It is not something uncommon.-

March 10, 2025 at 1:04 pmI don’t know if there is any reason for someone to impersonate me, but I am freaked out after seeing my name and my father’s name in a random university result.-

“Hello, i don’t want to reveal my name but someone’s using my name and father’s name.”
“Okay, what’s the name?”
