signature being misused signature being misused

2 months ago

I signed a blank paper below my signature for the cybercrime police with the proper reason (to unfreeze my account with the account number because I received fraudulent money).

I signed two papers with the same details because they didn't have time. They explained that they wanted my signature in case they added incorrect information, so I wouldn't have to come back.

Is there any chance of the paper being cut down after my signature and my signature being misused?

A.Dear Client,

After reporting a cybercrime scam on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP), the Cyber Crime Cell initiates an investigation by freezing suspected fraudulent accounts and the victim's bank account. During the investigation, the victim may be contacted to provide statements or relevant documents. It is advisable to contact the Cybercrime Cell of the respective district or state to ensure necessary action.

The duration of a cybercrime investigation varies based on factors such as case complexity, available resources, and victim cooperation. Investigations can take weeks to several months or even years. It is essential to exercise patience and maintain trust in the public authorities dedicated to protecting the interests of the general public until the Cyber Cell completes its investigation into the fraudulent scam.
