Cyber Fraud Money Recovery
4 months ago
I became a victim of prepaid merchant tasks related cybercrime on telegram and lost Rs. 26,000. I registered a complaint at cyber cell and my bank. The cyber cell has informed me today that an amount of Rs.14,000 is put on hold. How to get that amount? The local police officer is not very friendly and cooperative?
A.Dear Client,
Fraud on messaging apps like Telegram often involves financial scams, phishing, and attempts to extract personally identifiable information (PII) from users. Additionally, the platform has become a hub for the sale of malware and discussions related to cybercrime. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP), initiated by the Government of India, provides a platform for victims to report cybercrime scams online. The investigation period for cybercrimes varies based on factors like case complexity, available resources, and victim cooperation. Under Section 457 of the CrPC, a Magistrate can decide to conditionally release frozen amounts in cyber scams, usually involving an indemnity bond from the victim. Seeking legal advice, potentially from an advocate, is advisable in such situations. Victims can register cybercrime complaints at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in/ for updated status tracking and may also consult a cybercrime expert for further guidance and steps.
Thankyou

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. Section 457 of the CrPC empowers a Magistrate to use their discretion to order the conditional release of the amount frozen under cyber scam. In this situation, the police seek an indemnity bond from the victim who needs to declare that he/she will pay 1. 5 times the refunded amount to the bank in case his/her claim is false or if other claims are made on the amount. If required, you may take the service of an Advocate for guidance and steps. You can also register a complaint of cybercrime at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in/ to check the updated status of a complaint. You may consult with a cyber crime expert for further guidance and steps.

A.Dear sir
Since the amount is very small as such you cannot go to the court just manage the police and try to get the amount.
