Prepaid scam fraud
2 months ago
Hello,
I've been scammed with the fake Google review prepaid task scam on telegram. I've lost 58000, 23500 and 5000 in 3 transactions. It happened yesterday, and I filed a report with the cybercrime police for the same. Today I have received 2 messages telling me that the amounts 23500 and 58000 have been put on hold. What does this mean and what should I do next?
A.Dear Client,
Telegram fraud encompasses deceptive activities occurring on the Telegram messaging app, including financial scams, phishing, and attempts to extract users' personally identifiable information. Additionally, Telegram serves as a platform for the sale of malware and discussions related to cybercrime. To combat such fraud, the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP) by the Government of India enables victims to report cybercrime scams online. The duration of a cybercrime investigation varies based on case complexity, available resources, and the victim's cooperation. If you report a scam and receive messages about funds being put on hold, it indicates that authorities have frozen the corresponding amount in the suspect's account. The account holder is unable to access or transact with the funds until the cybercrime investigation is completed and resolved.

A.Dear client
from where did you receive the message that those amounts have been out on hold?
If you have received from your bank then probably the depending on the police instruction the bank would have put hold on to the receiver’s account.
In case it says that hold is put onto your account then it means that your account is also part of the cyber crime trail now.

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/complainant. When you already reported the scam to the cyber crime cell and received messages informing you that a certain amount of scams have been put on hold, means that the authorities have frozen that amount of money in the account of the person or entity suspected of committing the crime. The account holder cannot access the funds in the account, and they cannot make any transactions. The hold will remain in place until the cybercrime incident is investigated and resolved. You need to contact both Bank and Cyber cell for further information on receipt of the said messages.
