My Account has been frozen for UPI related fraud
Hello Sir, My account has been frozen due to UPI related fraud. I got the complaint details from the bank and I tried to reach the police officers to give the explanation but not able to reach them in the call,so I have sent all the details clearly with the screenshots in an email and still I didn't get the response. This is how it started: I received the message in WhatsApp for a part-time, home-based job opportunity where I was told I could work from home and earn a salary. I was assured that I would not have to invest any money, only perform a small task every day, and based on that, I could earn an income. Along with this, I also received a link and I was instructed to contact a person on Telegram by clicking on the given link and to share the code with them. I contacted the person and shared the code. She asked me whether I had experience using digital currencies or platforms like Binance. When I replied that I had not, she explained Binance in detail and the nature of the job. She informed me that my job would be simple—they would transfer amounts (INR) into my account, and I had to use those funds to buy USDT through the Binance P2P. After purchasing, I only had to share the payment screenshots with her. I was clearly told that I did not have to pay or invest any of my own money. This was the nature of my work, and she assured me that she would guide me throughout the entire process, and she even asked me to fill out the details, the screenshot of which I will attach at the end of this document. She also instructed me to register my own account on Binance and complete the signup process with full KYC verification, and once done, I would start receiving commissions based on the transactions. As per the instructions given, I participated in this process where the amounts credited into my account were transferred through UPI transactions to buy USDT. She specifically told me that I was currently in the training phase after completion of the first task. After completing training, she said, "You have been upgraded to a VIP user. I was upgraded to “VIP” status. The receptionist then provided me with the details of another person on Telegram who would be guiding me further. This person would send me screenshots of the transactions showing the credited amounts in my account. Based on those instructions, I would proceed to purchase crypto using the funds already received in my account. The payments were made directly from my account, where the money was credited, and I was informed that I would receive commissions depending on the transactions.I have taken screenshots of the amounts received, and the transactions are clearly reflected in my bank statement. I was only following the instructions as part of the given work, and I have not done anything wrong or illegal on my own. I was simply carrying out the steps as directed during the training process. Now please tell me what is the next step I should follow to unfreeze the account.
