Done that, we are waiting for them to help us tomorrow to get it done. Am shaking as the amount isn't small to let go. How do we resolve this? How can I help him get out of this.?
A.Dear Client,
Telegram fraud refers to any malicious or deceitful activity that takes place on the Telegram messaging app. The types of fraud conducted on the app can often include financial scams, phishing attempts, and other types of activity targeting users to provide their personally identifiable information (PII). In addition, Telegram has become a hotbed for selling malware, discussions of cybercrime and other high-risk activity. 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. 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. Apart from reporting to the local police station or Cyber Crime CellYou can also register a complaint of cybercrime at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in/ to check the updated status of a complaint. Section 457 of the CrPC empowers a magistrate to use their discretion to order the conditional release of the seized/frozen amount traced out on investigation by the cyber cell. When the victim is known, but the credentials of the criminal who created the fake accounts are unknown, in that situation, the police seek an indemnity bond from the victim to release the seized/frozen money recovered from the victim's account. You may consult with a cyber crime expert or an Advocate handling cyber laws for further guidance and suitable steps.
