Scam on telegram Scam on telegram

1 month ago

I contacted a call girl service provider through telegram. And transferred 499 out of 3500 to there UPI account as an booking amount. Then they give me the hotel location and told me to wait outside the hotel once reached. After reaching at the location they asked for 3100 which i transferred after that they send me an otp with a message on telegram saying that as i am there first time user i have to pay 9777 as an security deposit which will get refunded after the service. Which i payed. But then i again received a message saying that i have to pay 9777 again as an security deposit for her as well which i didn't payed. Then i asked for a refund and they are saying you have to pay the remaining amount first for processing the refund. We can not process refund without it. Should i file a complaint in cyber cell. Will i get charged for the same as well. Will my get to know what i did.

A.Dear Client,

Telegram fraud encompasses deceptive activities on the Telegram messaging app, including financial scams, phishing, and attempts to obtain users' personal information. The platform is also a hub for the sale of malware, discussions on cybercrime, and other high-risk activities. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP), initiated by the Government of India, allows victims to report cybercrime online at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in/ and track complaint status. The investigation timeline varies based on case complexity, available resources, and victim cooperation.

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. You can also register a complaint of cybercrime at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in/ to check the updated status of a complaint. 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. You may consult with a cyber crime expert for further guidance and steps.
