If you're a victim of cybercrime, every minute matters. These four steps are designed to protect you immediately — before you lose more money, privacy, or peace of mind.
Immediately stop all financial transactions, wire transfers, or gift card purchases. Contact your bank to freeze the account if money has moved. Every second counts in reversal requests.
Screenshot all conversations, emails, payment receipts, and profiles before the fraudster can delete them. Note timestamps, phone numbers, and any usernames involved.
Change passwords on all accounts immediately, especially email and banking. Enable two-factor authentication everywhere. Check for unknown devices logged into your accounts.
File a complaint at cybercrime.gov.in or call 1930. Early reporting dramatically improves recovery chances and protects others from the same scam.
India has multiple official bodies to address cybercrime. Use the right channel for your situation — faster routing means faster action.
The Government of India's official portal for reporting all cybercrime incidents — financial fraud, social media crimes, online harassment, and more. Available 24×7.
File Complaint OnlineEvery state has a dedicated cyber police cell for serious cybercrime cases. Visit your nearest police station and ask for the cybercrime desk, or contact your State Cyber Cell directly.
