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). Being a victim of a Telegram scam, you should report the scam online to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in or call the number 1930 to register the cybercrime or register a complaint/FIR at the local police station or Cyber cell. Once a cybercrime scam involving suspicious or fraudulent transactions 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 obtaining an order from the court of Magistrate. You have to wait for the completion of the investigation of the cyber scam by the investigating agency to get your account unfrozen. 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 the given scenario, you need to contact both the bank and the cyber cell to understand the reason behind the freeze and the steps required to resolve it. Be prepared to provide any information or documents requested by the bank or the cyber cell related to your account transactions and gather evidence like receipts, transaction details, or communication logs that support your claim. Keep in touch with both the bank and the cyber cell to track the progress of the unfreezing process. If you encounter difficulties or need assistance with the legal procedures, consult with a lawyer specializing in cybercrime and banking law to navigate the issues effectively.
