Seeking Justice After Being Cheated of 7 Lakhs in a Bogus Cryptocurrency Scam
6 months ago
I was unfortunately swindled out of approximately 7 lakhs by a homeopathic practitioner I knew. He introduced me to another person who claimed to invest my hard-earned money in a fake cryptocurrency that turned out to be worthless. Despite lodging complaints with the local police station in Bandra, the online cyber police portal, and the online Mumbai police portal seven months ago, there has been no progress on my case. The authorities seem disinterested even after multiple follow ups by me and meeting ACP, DCP as well. What further steps can I take to seek justice in this matter? FIR is already lodged at BANDRA WEST Police station.
A.Dear Client,
The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP) is an initiative of the Government of India to facilitate victims/complainants to report cybercrime including cryptocurrency scams or complaints online. Once a cybercrime scam is reported online to NCCRP, on the instruction of Cyber Crime Cell, the victim's Bank account is frozen/made inoperative putting a lien on the account by the Bank and you have to wait for the completion of the investigation of the scam by the investigating agency. which may take a couple of days or months. You may visit the cyber crime cell of the Police for further clarifications and necessary guidance in the matter and extend your cooperation to get your bank account operative and make yourself scam free ASAP. You can hire the service of an Advocate to keep the track of investigation and take steps accordingly. 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 investigating agency, and the cooperation of the victim. You may also consult with a cyber crime expert for further guidance and suitable steps.

A.Dear client,
Follow up with the police officer. Check the status of your application regularly and inquire about any additional steps you may need to take. You can also then approach the court to file a case against such a person for fraud.
