Cyber Crime -  blackmailing me Cyber Crime - blackmailing me

2 years ago

There is a trading company where an executive asked me to add some money, to which she promised to give guaranteed good returns.
However, she lost most of my money and she is blackmailing me to add more money, also saying that her father is in police so I won't be able to do anything. Also , when I refused, she stopped picking my calls.
I have talked to her seniors too, but it's has been of no use. In this case, what can I do?

A.Dear Client,
The first step you need to file an FIR in your nearest police and tell them about the blackmailing. Then you can go to the cyber cell and register a complaint against them on behalf of that FIR. The crime of blackmailing is defined under Section 503 of the IPC.

Thank You
