Evidence first
Preserve proof before blocking or reporting.

If private or child sexual content is involved, do not download, forward, store, or share illegal material. Preserve profile URLs, handles, timestamps, and report through proper channels.
Exposure check
What did they get from you?
Skip anything you do not want to answer. These flags only decide which safety modules appear.
Money timing
When did money move?
If the transfer was recent, start with 1930 and cybercrime.gov.in before platform reporting.
Skip if you do not remember exact amount.
Threat handling
Are they threatening, demanding, or contacting others?
This controls extortion and reputation modules. Do not pay to stop threats.
Minor safety
Child-safety warning
If a minor or alleged minor is involved, do not download, forward, store, edit, or share explicit material. Preserve only URLs, handles, timestamps, and messages needed to report.
Use platform reporting and police/cyber channels. This wizard does not store or request any image or video.
Profile details
Save the minimum platform details.
Do not upload evidence. Type only non-sensitive identifiers that help create a checklist.
Where do I find this?
Open the profile or chat info and copy the Instagram profile link, Facebook profile URL, Telegram username, WhatsApp phone-linked profile, group link, or visible @handle.
Contact details
Any contact or payment identifiers?
Optional. Do not enter passwords, OTPs, UPI PINs, or full bank details.
