Online Financial Fraud
1 month ago
I got trapped in a financial scam. I paid them 8.5 lacs before I realized it is a scam. Within 24 hours I contacted 1930 and registered the crime. I got the sms from them asking me to go to the portal and add further details. On going to the portal realised they had missed a digit in my bank account no. I was unable to modify the same hence again added the same without realising that the amount doubled. I then again called up 1930 and they registered a new complaint with a new acknowledgement no. They were to hold back money through both the complaint nos.totalling to 1.1 lacs. They then asked me to visit my local police station. They said that they will take only one of the 2 complaints and suggested to take the one which had a higher amount of 65000 on hold. They have given me a letter and asked me to go to my bank and get an acknowledgement from them.
1. Is the process going in the right direction
2. What do about the complaint which had my wrong account no.but corrected later.? It has 45000 on hold.
