Cyber crime - froze all of my bank accounts 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:)

A.Dear client,

Here are some general steps you can consider taking in this situation:

Consult a lawyer: Contact a lawyer who specializes in cybercrime or financial law. They can help you understand the legal implications, review any relevant documents or communications you have received, and guide you through the appropriate course of action.

Respond to the Bangalore Cyber Crime: It may be in your best interest to engage with the Bangalore Cyber Crime unit that has contacted you. Provide them with accurate information and explain your side of the story. A lawyer can assist you in communicating with them effectively and handling the situation.

Gather evidence: Collect any evidence you have related to the transactions, including bank statements, communication records, and any other relevant documentation that supports your case. This will help your lawyer in assessing the situation and building a strong defense or presenting your case.

Cooperate with the bank: Communicate with your bank and inquire about the specific reasons behind the freezing of your account. Understand the bank's procedures for dealing with such situations and provide them with any necessary information or documents they may require.

Attend legal proceedings, if necessary: If the situation escalates and legal proceedings are initiated, it is crucial to attend all hearings and cooperate fully with the legal process. Your lawyer will guide you on the specific steps to take and represent your interests.
