How to get money back from online fraud

Online frauds and digital scams are rising rapidly in India. From fake trading platforms and investment apps to phishing links and fraudulent job offers, cybercriminals use various techniques to cheat innocent people. Losing your hard-earned money can be emotionally and financially stressful — but if you act quickly and follow the legal process, you can recover your funds.

Under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023, victims of cyber fraud have several legal remedies available. With the guidance of an expert cyber crime lawyer, such as Advocate Deepak, the chances of recovering your money increase significantly.


Common Types of Online Frauds

  • Fake trading or investment apps promising high returns.

  • Fraudulent messages on WhatsApp or Telegram asking for “work from home” or “commission-based” jobs.

  • Phishing websites that mimic genuine payment pages.

  • Unauthorized UPI or debit card transactions.

  • Ponzi or crypto investment scams.

If any of these methods were used to cheat you, act immediately before the money trail disappears.


Immediate Steps to Take

1. Report the Fraud

Visit the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portalwww.cybercrime.gov.in and register a complaint.
Provide full details of the transaction, including payment screenshots, chats, and UTR numbers.
In urgent cases, call the National Cyber Helpline 1930 to block or trace the fraudulent transaction.

2. File a Written Complaint

Submit a written application at your nearest Cyber Crime Police Station.
Address it to the Officer-in-Charge and mention your complaint ID from the national portal.
Attach documents such as your bank statement, ID proof (Aadhaar, PAN), and transaction evidence.

3. Contact Your Bank’s Nodal Officer

Share the cyber complaint acknowledgment and request the bank to freeze the recipient account immediately.
If your own account is lien-marked or frozen due to a linked investigation, your lawyer can file a representation for NOC (No Objection Certificate) to release your funds.
