Procedure to recover amount from India if living outside India


27-Aug-2023 (In Civil Law)
Hi, I'm from Canada. I met someone online last August from India and and they used to sell me products for cheap prices, we did lots of business together. Starting around March this year they started offering me extremely good deals and I sent them over $15000 USD worth of money. They never delivered, then the person started telling me he needed a loan because he got in some trouble and once it's all dealt with he will refund me all my money, so I ended up giving some more money and now they owe me around $22,000 USD and they have been stalling for months. I have the persons Indian driver license and proof of who they are and lots of chat log evidence. He has also scammed lots of other people. My problem is I live in Canada, and this guy lives in India (a place called Patiala which is very north of India). How can I get my money back form this person, I need to hire a lawyer but I'm not sure how I can hire a person in India to take this case because I live in Canada.

U can issue power of attorney in favour of your freind or in favour of any relative...who can go to the court on your behalf and signed the documents which will needed to file a case...and further more when you have to filed case against him..first of all you filed an application before SSP to register a case of cheating against him

You have both remedies available to you. Civil remedy for recovery of the amount and criminal remedy to prosecute him. And both the cases can run simultaneously. For recovery of the amount you have limitation of 3 years. And to prosecute him criminally we have to check the entire communication that have happened between you and him. If the payment is recorded you have 100% chance of success in terms of recovery of your amount.
