My business bank account is on hold, I could not use my current bank anymore….Yes Bank, Vikaspuri, New Delhi. The Hold amount amount is unbelievable, it is too much amount. The hold amount is Rs.100000000, I will never have that much amount, and I never have done any transactions with that much amount. It means some one trying to scam my money.

Visit the nearest police station or cybercrime cell and file an FIR detailing the fraudulent transactions. Provide them with all evidence, including screenshots and details of the transactions.
Contact Punjab National Bank’s fraud department immediately to report the unauthorized transactions. Provide them with the transaction details and the police complaint reference number. Banks may initiate an investigation and, in some cases, reverse the transaction if it’s deemed fraudulent.
You can also report the incident on the Indian government’s National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (https://cybercrime.gov.in/).

A fraudulent card transaction is an unauthorized transaction that is carried out with your credit card. The thief either physically steals your credit card, or steals your card information via phishing or credit card skimming and uses it to make payments, or withdraw cash.
In such matters, the complainant alleges that some unknown person had withdrawn money/ made transactions through his/her credit/debit cards through online purchasing. In most of these cases purchasing is done by using the following crucial information of the credit/debit card :
1. The 16 Digit Credit/Debit Card Number
2. The validity of the Credit/Debit card
3. The 3-digit confidential Card Verification Value (CW) or the One-Time-Password (OTP) sent on the registered mobile number of the Debit Card holder.
While it may be that the Card Number and the validity of the card is made available to the fraudsters through insider in the bank, the OTP is procured by them by deceiving the account holder to share the OTP on the pretext that it is required for account verification, etc.
1. Collect Bank statements for the last six months from the concerned bank.
2. Make a copy of SMSs received related to the alleged transactions.
3. Take a copy of your ID proof and address proof as shown in the bank records.
4. Lodge a complaint in your nearest Police Station explaining the complete incidence along with the above documents.
If a particular police station is not cooperating;
Approach the Superintendent of Police (SP) – You should make a complaint in writing, and send it to the SP of your district, by post. The SP will consider your complaint, and if he feels that your complaint reports a cognizable offence, he will direct the police to investigate your case or investigate it himself.
Approach the Metropolitan/Judicial Magistrate – With the help of a lawyer, you can make a “private complaint” in writing to the Metropolitan/Judicial Magistrate. The Magistrate will look into the complaint and may order the police to take necessary action. You should take this step only after approaching the police.
Go to Another Police Station – The law has provided the facility for Zero FIR, where you may go to any police station, close to you, and file an FIR. The police have to file your complaint, and then transfer it to the police station in whose jurisdiction the offence was committed.
Approach Other Forums – You can approach the National/State Human Rights Commission or National/State Women’s Commission to file a complaint. These forums have the power to investigate the case, and assist you in filing a complaint to the police.
File a Writ Petition in the High Court – With the help of a lawyer, you may also file a writ petition in the High Court of your state if the police officer refuses to take action or file your complaint. This will oblige the police officer(s) to show cause or reasons for not filing your complaint.
Informal Remedies – In addition to the remedies covered, you can also take the help of a lawyer or a friend or a relative, to file a complaint on your behalf.

Can i file an online complaint for a tutor from Urban Pro who has duped me of Rs 30,000 and not provided the service. The tutor has also harassed me at unusual times by texting me and sending me unnecessary emails. After providing me around 6 lectures he is telling me my account is in deficit. He also alleged me that i am mental without even knowing who I am. This person claims to be a chartered accountant as well and a fraud person cannot practice as a chartered accountant. It is illegal.

The moment you come to know that a suspicious transaction has been done on your credit/debit card, inform the card issuer immediately. One should lodge a formal complaint with the bank and ideally call up the customer care number to block the card or the account immediately.
If a fraud relates to net banking, ATM transactions, or any other online transaction you have to raise a complaint.
Once the card issuer or the bank has been informed about the fraudulent transaction, one should file a written compliant with the nearest police station. An FIR has to be filed in the local police station only. In case police refuses to file an FIR, the court can be approached under section 156(3) of the Cr PC.
If the police ask you to go to the Cyber Cell to file the complaint? You do not need to approach the cyber cell. You can file an FIR in the local police station itself. The cases are forwarded by the police stations to the Cyber Cell.
Amit Roy
June 17, 2023
Respected sir,
I beg to state that myself, Amit Roy, a PhD student of NDRI, Kalyani, West Bengal, India lost my money on 13-06-2023 by falling under a trap of frauds. I wanted to sell an item ( computer accessory namely WD blue SSD 250 GB) of cost Rs.3000 through OLX. After i have uploaded the photos of that said item and put the description for sell, a few moments later a group of frauds from OLX have contacted with me from the phone nos- 7501938109 and 6309125187. They brainwashed me and sent me QR codes and told and convinced me to send a particular amount of money from time to time (saying that “amount” as “code”, not as “money”). They were saying that by sending this to their different respective codes from time to time, transaction to my account will be done and I will gr back the selling price of the money and they will send a servant to pick item from my place. I didn’t agree and was saying again and again to send them the servant to pick my item up and only then i will receive the selling price offline, but they were brainwashing me and forced me again and again that this is not the first time they are doing thia online, many times the they deal like this with the seller.(Previously, the person who contacted with me, his name was Santosh Kumar and he is saying that he is from Kalyani, West only and he has OLX shop and business in Kalyani only).Lots of times i didn’t agree to do the same as per their direction. But afterwards, they brainwashed me and i।was also thinking that may be ‘thats the way’ or ‘no problem at all’ if I do this. But even after doing this, I didn’t receive any price of the selling item and my money gts lost. They are also threatening me to pay them much amount of their required dues. Now, i am feeling devastated and frustrated. I have lost about Rs. 54,000 to 55,000. Sir, I am from a very poor family and warm my livelihood and give some amount to my family from the stipend which i get. I have no idea now and totally out of mind what to do now..😭😭😭
May, I hope and pray that you will be kind enough to deal with this matter of the frauds, will take necessary actions and help me doing the needful please and getting my money back as I know OLX is a trustable site and i never ever have think about this also. Sir, please help me. I am attaching the money transaction i have made to them

To address the fraud, first, file a complaint with the local police and the cybercrime department, providing all evidence, including transaction details and communication records. Contact OLX customer support to report the incident and seek their assistance. Regularly follow up with both the authorities and OLX. Additionally, consider seeking legal advice to understand your rights and potential actions.

My name is Trupti I am account holder of Central Bank of India. On 24th March 2023 I had reported a fraud Transaction through Olx by which there was a fraud transaction of 64,500/-rupees from my account (while selling gym equipments online on olx).I had already mailed and reported the bank on same day on 24th March 2023 on-complaintscentralbank.co.in and filed a complaint in Nagpur Cyber Cell and also in Local Police Station within 2 hours.
Later I received a credit message of 64,500/- as shadow amount from Bank. For resolving this query I had visited my Home Branch(Sicom Udyog Bhavan Nagpur) and consulted to the Bank Manager but he was not able to explain me exact time line/date for reversal of actual amount in my account.Now more than 4 months has been gone but I had not received the actual credit in my account and not a appropriate response from bank manager. Here by I kindly request you to take my case on priority and reverse my amount and credit my account for the loss and take appropriate action.
These four months were and are still very depressing mentally and financially , I am visiting my home branch regularly but Bank Manager is explaining that investigation is ongoing but giving no confirmation or proof in written what investigation has done till now.What should I do , to whom should i ask.No reversal of actual amount.

You can raise a complaint at the nearest police station for cybercrime and fraud OR raise an online complaint at National Cybercrime Reporting Portal OR call 1930, the helpline for cybercrime. If you or someone you trust know how to operate the online banking app, raise a complaint there and get your listed number changed as soon as possible. If not, visit the bank and talk to the representative who should help you out, and possibly get the account frozen for the time being.

It would be important for you to take out time and communicate with your bank about what has happened. You should be able to solve the problem and make sure that such a situation does not arise in the future. But for that to happen, you need to talk to your bank and understand their actions. As far as your government job prospects are concerned, there should be no problem if you are not responsible for this situation. If any problem does occur, you can file a Writ Petition of Mandamus in the concerned High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India challening the actions of the government as discriminatory under Article 14 and Article 16 of the Constitution.
