Use official urgent channels
The National Cybercrime Reporting Portal directs victims of financial cyber fraud to helpline 1930. Contact your bank through its verified official channel as well.
Preserve the incident record
Keep transaction references, dates, communications and screenshots. Never share passwords, PINs or OTPs with someone claiming to recover money.
Keep reporting separate from consultation
A legal consultation does not replace immediate reporting. Save any acknowledgement for further review; reporting does not guarantee recovery.
