Possible case of money fraud
5 years ago
A friend of mine recommended me someone who gives 10% per month on investments made with him. I invested (let's say 1L) with him, he gave me returns for almost 5 months and then since 5 months he has not given me any returns and avoiding my calls and not doing giving a simple penny.
I am afraid that he was a fake guy and wants to (kind of) rob me of my money. For X amount of money he gave me a post dated check and for Y amount of money I don't have anything. All the money I transferred to him was online IMPS, so their is proof and trace that I have given him money.
Now, my questions are these:
1.) I am resident of Rajasthan and he is resident of UP. When I invested X amount of money then I was in Bangalore and when I invested Y amount of money I was in Pune. Currently I am in Pune and he has been in Bangalore. So, my question is if I want to register a case against him then it would be in Bangalore's or Pune's court?
2.) Do you think I may end up loosing all my X+Y amount of money because there was no legal/formal agreement which I signed with him?
You can file a case from your current place of stay. No problem.
Since you have the Bank transfer and supported by documentary evidence you can file a case against the person concerned.
Do it fast without loosing any time.

And yes you will have to produce some evidences that he owes money to you. in absence of that it will be a difficult task for you to prove that he is supposed to give you money back.
