Telegram Scam in a telegram group
1 week ago
On 1st May 2024, i was scammed of Rs 1.7Lakh in a telegram group, which i sent through both UPI and IMPS. The scammer talked about bonus returns and at last asked me to give Rs 2.8lakh to withdraw rest of the money, to which i said i cant. Then they kicked me out of the group. I filed complaints on Bank and Cybercrime portal. The cybercrime portal complaint is under processing and the bank asked me to give them 15days, as they have sent request to the scammers bank which may take sometime. Are there any possibilities to get the money back, or even a part of it?
A.Dear Client,
Your bank and the cybercrime team have likely forwarded the details to the scamster's bank to freeze the account or put a lien on it. If the funds are still available, there's a chance of recovering some of the money. It's crucial to stay in touch with both your bank and the cybercrime team to push the process forward and achieve results quickly. Keep following up on your case to expedite the resolution.

A.Dear Client,
Telegram scam/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. Once a cybercrime scam or fraudulent transaction is reported online to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP), on the instruction of the Cyber Crime Cell, the investigating team starts the routine process of investigation immediately freezing the suspected accounts of fraudsters and the victim's Bank account and on receipt of the direction from the cyber cell, the concerned Bank frozen the bank account of the victim account holder putting a lien on it. You have to wait for the completion of the investigation of the scam by the investigating agency. 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. You need to follow up on the update on the investigation of the scam both from the cyber cell and the Bank to get back the money lost in the scam.
