1

Use the official route promptly

The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal is the Government of India complaint pathway, and 1930 is identified for cyber financial-fraud reporting. Aamegh does not receive the complaint.

  • Call 1930 for cyber financial fraud
  • Open cybercrime.gov.in through your own browser
  • Contact the relevant bank or payment service through its official channel
2

Preserve the transaction context privately

Keep transaction references, timestamps, messages and account communications without publishing them. Do not edit originals solely to make a public allegation.

  • Keep original messages and transaction IDs
  • Record when each official contact was made
  • Do not post account numbers, OTPs or identity documents
3

Watch for a second scam

Someone promising guaranteed recovery may be another fraud attempt. Confirm every follow-up through the bank, portal or authority you contacted rather than a number supplied in an unsolicited message.

  • Do not pay a recovery fee under pressure
  • Never share an OTP or remote-access code
  • Verify follow-up contacts independently

Understand this page

Use official reporting and keep follow-up records.

The guide points to the national cybercrime route and the relevant bank or payment service. Aamegh does not receive a complaint or recover funds.

Use an independently verified route

Open the official portal or your financial provider’s known contact route yourself. Do not rely on a phone number or recovery link supplied in an unsolicited message.

Keep the response trail private

Retain transaction references, original communications and any official acknowledgement. Verify follow-up instructions through the service you contacted.

Questions about this page

Can someone guarantee recovery for an advance fee?

Treat an unsolicited guarantee or pressured payment request as a reason to stop and verify independently. This guide makes no recovery or outcome promise.
