Report of fradulent online activity
7 months ago
I unfortunately fell victim into an online fraud and invested 10,12,684. Fraud happened by receiving a message on WhatsApp from a women and then navigated through telegram accounts to invest some amount for subscribing youtube channels and then the investment amount increased so far. Raised complaint and FIR to Cyber Crime. I used Axis and SBI banks, so called the bank's tollfree number numbers and raised complaints as they said it will take up to 90 days.but after through phone call investigation, bank confirmed that it is not responsible for them because of the transactions done by me. Am worrying whether i could get my money back or not though cyber investigation. Please suggest.
A.Dear Client,
Once a complaint is received by the Cyber Crime Cell from any source regarding any fraudulent transaction caused directly or indirectly through your assigned Bank account, the concerned bank is directed to freeze or withhold the operation of the Bank account till the completion of the investigation into the said complaint. Accordingly, the Bank withheld the operation of the said account marking a lien on it. So, in this situation, you have to wait for the completion of the investigation into the complaint by the Cyber Crime Cell and need to extend your cooperation in the investigation to get the matter resolved at the earliest so that the operation of your bank account is restored on the direction of the Cyber Cell. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP) is an initiative of the Government of India to facilitate victims/complainants to report cybercrime scams or complaints online. You can hire the service of an Advocate to keep the track of investigation and take steps accordingly. The length of time it takes to investigate a cybercrime can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the resources available to the investigating agency, and the cooperation of the victim. You may also consult with a cyber crime expert for further guidance and suitable steps.

A.Dear,
File a Police Complaint/FIR: You've already taken the right step by filing an FIR with the Cyber Crime cell. This is crucial as it initiates a legal investigation into the fraud.
Contact the Banks: You mentioned that you used Axis and SBI banks. It's essential to continue working with your banks to report the fraudulent transactions. While they may initially claim that you are responsible, keep all records of your communications with them. Banks have their own dispute resolution processes, and you may need to escalate your case to higher levels within the banks.
