Online Job
1 week ago
I have been a victim of an online job and lost a huge amount. I have filed a complaint with cyber crime but it's been a month and there's no update about the same. I haven't even received an acknowledgement of the FIR copy.
I was told to file an RTI after a month, but not sure how will it work and if it will be helpful.
I have two complaints filed as the same was filed incorrectly by an advocate. In the previous complaint a small amount has been put on hold on the suspects account. What is the procedure of getting the amount put on hold and when will I get it?
Also should I file an RTI for the current complaint as there's no update on it?
A.Dear Client,
Undoubtedly an application under Sec.6(1) of the RTI Act, 2005 can help you to obtain a copy of FIR and the updated status of the investigation of your complaint, and such information is not exempted from disclosure under Sec.8 & 9 of the Act. In the course of an investigation, when an amount is traced out and put on hold, you can move a petition under Sec.457 of Cr. PC before the court of Magistrate praying for the release of the said amount. Section 457 of the CrPC empowers a Magistrate to use their discretion to order for the conditional release of the amount frozen or put on hold under cyber scam. In this situation, the police seek a bond from the victim who needs to declare that he/she will pay 1. 5 times the refunded amount to the bank in case his/her claim is false or if other claims are made on the amount. Once this is done, the Magistrate executes an order to release the on-hold amount to the applicant victim and following the court's order, and on receipt of the bond, the Investigating Officer of the Cyber Cell will follow up on the matter with the banks and the amount is refunded to the accounts of the victims. If required, you may take the service of an Advocate for guidance and steps

A.Dear Client,
When you file a cyber complaint to the nearest cyber cell or online to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP), the investigating team, under the Cyber Crime Cell, begins the process of investigation. This involves freezing the bank accounts of suspects and victim. During this time, the victim must wait for the investigation to be completed by the investigating agency. This might be the reason for withholding the amount on suspects account. However, you can file a suit under Section 457 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), wherein, a Magistrate has the discretion to order the conditional release of the frozen amount in a cyber scam case. Further, in such situations, the police might require you to provide an indemnity bond and declare that you will pay 1.5 times the refunded amount to the bank if the claim is found to be false or if other claims are made on the amount.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.

The fake job offer fraud.
They promise a job - but first you must pay. Please do not send money via Western Union.
This page: The fake job fraud, see also Internet fraud update , The money laundering fraud, Fraudsters haunting dating/matchmaking websites , The fake loan offer fraud andthe bank accounts they use.
A painful duty - Exposing the British (and Irish) connection. What happened to my money? All 419 fraud victims should read this.
NB: Many victims seem to have been contacted by the scammers as a result of them putting up a CV at sites like Monster.com, Totaljobs.com and Careerbuilder.com. BUT - Monster.com have pointed out that the scammers often use the Monster name to add credibility to their fraudulent offers. The use of a Monster address in a fraud mail may simply indicate an attempt at deception. The criminals often use the titles of genuine companies in their scam mailings. Some will appear below, but of course these companies have no relationship with the scammers, they are just another category of victim.
The criminals will also place fake job advertisements in local newspapers. If you become aware of these, please complain to the newspapers. You can let them know that they will probably not get paid for the space.
Online Fake Jobs
Many websites offer online jobs but most of them are fake. Then they issue legal notices through their fake advocates. The online employers threaten the young unemployed and extract money. The victims need not worry about it. They may either ignore such legal notices, WhatsApp messages or approach the nearest police station and lodge complaints. The unemployed youth must be very careful while accepting such online jobs. They cannot do anything but the unemployed youth pay the online employers small amounts as penalties, fines for violations or non complying the rules and regulations of such employers.
