Early reporting can help limit further loss — here's what's still possible.
Transaction may still be pending. Call 1930 early so your bank can review faster.
Act now →Funds may be in transit. Your bank may still be able to act. Reporting quickly can still help.
Do it now →Funds may have moved. FIR and cybercrime portal complaints remain important. Legal recovery options may still exist.
File now →Financial recovery harder, but identity protection, FIR, and legal recourse are still fully available and important.
Still act →Illustrative scenarios based on reported case patterns. Outcomes vary.
A victim received a fake customer-care call and transferred money through UPI. The safer next steps are to call 1930, inform the bank, save transaction IDs, and file on cybercrime.gov.in.
A person was kept on a video call by imposters pretending to be officials. The safer next steps are to end the call, avoid payment, tell a trusted person, and file a cybercrime complaint.
A victim received threats to share private images or videos. The safer next steps are to stop replying, avoid payment, preserve evidence, report the account, and use platform takedown options.
A messaging account was taken over and contacts were asked for money. The safer next steps are to warn contacts, start official account recovery, enable two-factor authentication, and report impersonation.
A person's identity details appeared to be misused for accounts or loans. The safer next steps are to lock or monitor documents, check financial traces, and file the right complaint.
A victim installed a remote-access app during a fake refund or bank-help call. The safer next steps are to disconnect access, uninstall the app, change passwords from a clean device, and inform the bank.
These are illustrative scenarios, not real testimonials. Outcomes vary by timing, evidence, platform response, bank action, and official process.
Not every scam starts with 1930 — the right route saves critical time.
Early reporting is time-critical. After calling 1930, complete the formal complaint at cybercrime.gov.in using your acknowledgement number.

No bank, government body, or UPI app will ever ask for your OTP over a call. If anyone asks, hang up and block the number.
Do not install AnyDesk, TeamViewer, or QuickSupport because a caller asks you to. Banks do not need screen access to help you.
No government agency arrests you over a video call. If this happens, hang up immediately and call 1930.
Use the official myAadhaar portal to lock biometrics. This can reduce the risk of misuse.
Open myAadhaar →Task-based earning schemes and Telegram 'investment' groups often start with small payouts, then demand deposits. Treat this as a scam warning.
Scammers run ads so fake numbers appear first on Google. Always go directly to the bank's official website or the number on your card.
