Cheating of 70700 Rs online by giving fake job offer in a bank


21-Feb-2023 (In Cyber Crime Law)
sir, in may 2015, a noida based job consultancy informed us by mobile/emails that they have shortlisted my daughter's resume by internet and offered a job in axis bank for her.we deposited 70700/- on different dates in installments in their 3 bank a/c hdfc/icici/pnb as they demanded (one a/c was on consultancy name noida based and two a/c was on individual names residents of delhi) no amount was given them in cash directly. After getting such amount, they switched off their all phones/stopped replying my emails.we have their all 3 addresses which are registered with their 3 bank a/cs and we send them legal notices to them but all notices returned by replying that these are not proper addresses whereas i am 100% sure that they intentionally returned the notices.Guide me the easiest way of recovery.where should i lodge complaint Mohali or Muktsar.I have all their emails/phone nos/pan details record.Now i am living at Mohali (PB) but at the time of incident i was living in Muktsar(PB)

Dear Sir

As the case detailed by you. There are certain points that need to be discussed.

1. kindly send the email addresses from which you have received the email.
2. Kindly send the offer letter/ documentation sent
3. What was the mode of transfer of money (internet banking or deposit at your bank branch)?

The next course of action will largely depend on the above facts. Though the case dates back to 2015, we do not have much options to look for, but we can initiate a legal action by the following ways.

1. Send a registered AD letter to the SSP Mohali/Muktsar (As the case may arise) detailing him about the complaint. He will then mark the complaint to the relevant Economic Offence wing as per the jurisdiction.
2. Same letter copy should also be sent to the SSP Noida.
3. A complaint needs to be sent to the 3 banks & RBI to freeze the accounts as they are not KYC compliant as per the RBI norms and the bank is answerable in such case.

These are the options we have with us, but the chances of recovery of money is very bleak until we are able to trace two things:
1. The person
2. The documentary evidences.

Also I would like to know the authenticity of the job offer to ascertain the role of Axis Bank is any.

Kindly send these details and will look into the matter.

Regards

Adv Nitin Sharma
