Can I file a case for fraud against a US based mobile shop?


28-Dec-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
I saw an offer for iPhone in Facebook and said I am interested.Same day I got a message asking my mobile no and I gave it. Soon after one Mr. whatsapped saying he has an offer.He send me his ID card as proof.So i truted him. He said he can give iPhone 7plus for 21000INR(including customs,home delivery etc). He said 50% before placing deal and 50% after delivery. And I said ok. I transferred 10500 to his account. Right after tat he messaged me saying full paymen is required as his boss insisted. Sine anyways i had to pay 10500 i thought i will send it and transferred that. After sometime he said he needs another 15600 for customs which is refundable.Then i said i cant pay, return my money. He said he already spent tat on something and said he will return 15600 which is refundable. In order to get the parcel so that i wont loose the money i paid that too. He blackmailed me saying if I ant pay more I won't get what I spent.And I ended up paying 2lakh.But no parcel/mobile now.

Hi,

If you have adequate details like his postal address, Money transfer proof, E-mail conversation etc ; you have slight chances to sue the Company. However, I shall be able to provide you proper advise and guidance after perusal of the records to substantiate your claim.

from your letter ,What I can understand is this is a fraud play like SUPERLOTTO, etc.. In such cases the Id card, Bank account etc. are also not of the original persons. The police or authority cannot trace the fraud people by this.. Any way you may approach the cyber cell and they will find out a remedy
