Nowadays many cases of cyber fraud are coming to light. In this type of fraud, it is very difficult to get back the money withdrawn from the account, but a little activeness can help. In Hardoi, Uttarakhand, the police has returned the money of 40 people who were victims of cyber fraud. Actually, the 30 minutes after the con are very important. During this time, by taking some steps, money can be prevented from going into the pockets of swindlers. Let us know about these steps.
What to do after cyber fraud?
First of all inform your bank about the fraud. The bank will freeze the account, due to which money transactions in it will stop. Apart from this, get your debit and credit cards blocked from the bank. First of all, after doing this, inform the cyber police about the matter and also lodge a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Report Portal. Along with this, help can also be sought by calling cyber helpline 1930.
Why is immediate action necessary?
Actually, in cyber fraud, the fraudsters transfer money from the victim’s account to their own account. If the amount is more then it has to be transferred to several bank accounts. It takes some time to withdraw this amount from the account. By being active during this time, you can prevent your money from going into the pockets of swindlers, but once the swindlers withdraw the money from the account, it becomes very difficult to get it back.
