How to recover money in case of online fraud


20-Jul-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
One of my face book friend has sent me money in pounds through international wire transfer. A person called me and said he is from Indian International wire transfer. He said me to pay 68000 for currency exchange rates. Then he asked 140000 to buy anti money laundering certificate. Finally he asked me to pay 78000 for endorsements. I have paid all. Now I got mail from RBI stating I need to pay 242000 for this So I have 2 questions basically. I think he is fraud. If I file case on him will I get my money? I have sent him through cheques and online banking through various banks as he advised me to. Another is if really RBI has sent me that mail or is it fraud?

1. You can file a FIR against him with police. Let the police freeze his accounts and provide you remedy.

2. Only after seeing the email which you claim that you received from RBI, i would be in a position to comment.

These are the fraud person who are doing all this in internet now a days.

By using their IP address (available in your received mail) and cheqeue en-cash account details, you can file a complaint against them in jurisdictional police. These are coming under Cyber Crime. Please make a complaint with all the details and proceed immediately.

1. You may get money if police have assisted you in tracing that person.

2. RBI never send such kind of EMAILS. Inform RBI also.
