Cyber crime - froze all of my bank accounts
10 months ago
I need your assistance and information, sir.
In 2021, one of my friends sent 70k to my account. A little while later, I got a call from Bangalore Cyber Crime, but I refrained from answering it and visitng cyber cell because I was afraid. The next day, they froze all of my bank accounts and withdrew 40k out of my account. I ignored it, i did not visit cyber crime that time instead i changed my phone number, and began working for a private company.
Nearly 17 months later, Today July 2023 they have frozen/blocked my income account.
I phoned the bank since I was unable to send money or have others credit money to it, and they informed me that they had received a bangalore cyber crime order to block/freeze my account. The bank only provided the reference number 319/2021.
Please advise me, sir, as to what to do in this situation. Will they also target another savings account? what is going to happen , I want get out of it please help me with further procedures along with fee:)
