Got scammed online and have details of company in which that person is working Got scammed online and have details of company in which that person is working

It's been 1 month and 6 days since I get scammed by a scammer online. He get money from me and paid me extra money, on freelancer for a project. He did it because he was in need of money at that moment and money was in the freelancer account which take 3-4 days. I made the transaction later after a week I have checked I got scammed because his account was banned and freelancer reversed my amount. When I asked him the said first he send me some foreign number by saying this was not his own work. Later he agreed to it and told me "Bhai kyu time khraab kr rha h jo hona tha ho gya, ab wapis ni aaege. Jitna time isme khraab kroge utne m isse jyada or kma loge." But my case is not about money I am ok with that amount but the way he used for the same, I am not ok with it. I want hime to get punished for the same. Maybe I am not the only one who get scammed.

Hoping for a good solution from this platform. I have already compaint for the same on cybercrime but there is no response yet. Now I want to move legally against the same. I know this can be a stupid thing for 6400 INR, but for me it's not a case of money . Can anyone let me know what I should do next?

A.Hi, scams on freelancers are indeed common. You should be careful of employers who ask you to transfer money before they make a payment to you on completion of a certain task. Secondly, you should also chat with them through the in-app/website chat option and not on email. if someone insists on chatting on another platform, it is a red flag.

You can try reporting the user's profile on Freelancer. You can also file a police compliant u/s 200 crpc.
