After filing a complaint on cyber crime portal. I was notified that the amount is on hold. Does this mean that I will get the money. What are the chances of the refund. How to file a FIR with police and the later process. Please give the rough time frame for this issue to be solved.

A.Dear Client,

When you report a scam to the cybercrime cell and receive messages indicating that a certain amount of scams have been put on hold, it implies that authorities have frozen funds in the account of the suspected person or entity involved in the crime. The account holder is restricted from accessing the funds or conducting any transactions. To gather more information on these messages, it is recommended to contact both the bank and the cybercrime cell. The hold on the funds will persist until the cybercrime investigation is completed and resolved. The duration of the investigation can vary, influenced by factors such as case complexity, available resources for the investigating agency, and the cooperation of the victim or complainant.

A.Dear Client,
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 an 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. You need to contact both Bank and Cyber cell for further information on receipt of the said messages. The hold will remain in place until the cybercrime incident is investigated and resolved. 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. You may consult with a cyber crime expert for further guidance and suitable steps.
