Online Financial Scam Online Financial Scam

2 weeks ago

I was offered an online typing job through WhatsApp. The so-called HR approached me & gave me promising details and allotted me typing work. I completed the work and asked for payment. But the HR asked for a commission money first. I paid the commission amount. Next HR asked me to pay GST amount. To get my salary, I was asked to pay GST amount. Later, HR said the company has reached its maximum payment limit. And I should pay the remaining balance to get the salary. And all of the amount which I was supposed to pay them will be refundable. It was utter nonsense. They are total scammers. How to take legal action against them? I have all their details, the chat history, and recorded phone calls.

A.Dear Client,
It appears you become the victim of an online data entry fraud scam by default. 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 and once a cyber crime scam is reported online to NCCRP, on the instruction of Cyber Crime Cell, investigating team started the routine process of investigation immediately and if required they can contact and call you to record your statement or for filing relevant documents. You need to get in touch with the Cybercrime Cell of your district or state seeking their necessary action in the matter. 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 investigators, and the cooperation of the victim. In general, cybercrime investigations can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months or even years. You can also register a complaint of cybercrime at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in/ and track the status of your complaint online. You may consult with a cyber crime expert for further guidance and steps.
