What to do when you get scammed online:

We have personally dealt with many victims of online scams or fraud, people think that people will laugh at them that they got scammed and everything, I have seen people committing suicide after getting scammed. so our suggestion is the first concern with your elders or someone who can understand you. Explain the whole scenario to them clear your mind and then think about what you should do next.

The first thing you should do after you got scammed online is that contact your bank to seal or freeze your account which will prevent any more loss.

After that report that crime to the cyber crime department, in India if you got scammed then you should file an online complaint on the cyber security portal https://cybercrime.gov.in/

While filing a complaint online you have to submit all details like your personal details, address, your bank account number, and other details with proof of you got scammed like any transaction receipt or UPI details, etc.

Once you submit an online complaint cyber crime department will take a look into it and after 4-5 days they will transfer your complaint to your nearest police station and they will take action against that scammer or fraudster.

Still in the meanwhile, we suggest that you should visit your local police station and filed a complaint about your scam or fraud.

Also, you should report that scammer account, from which you got scammed to that particular social media platform, every platform has that option to report a particular user or account for spam or fraud activity.
