A.Dear Client,
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. 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. Depending upon the complexity of the scam and the information available from different sources, an investigation may take time from 3 months to 6 months and even a year to complete.

A.Dear Client,
Reach out to Binance's customer support as soon as possible to report the issue and provide them with all the evidence you have. They might be able to assist in resolving the matter. Since the funds were put on lien, it's essential to contact your bank and explain the situation. Provide them with all relevant documentation, and they may be able to guide you on the next steps. If you believe you are a victim of a cybercrime or scam, you should consider filing a formal complaint with your local law enforcement agency. Provide them with all the evidence and details of the transaction. In India, you can also consider reporting the cybercrime to the Cyber Cell of your local police. They are specialized in handling cybercrimes and fraud cases.
