🔴 How to Recover Your Lost Money from Cyber Fraud – Step-by-Step Legal Process. Recover your money freeze by police
By Advocate Anurag Bhati | www.lawyerhelp.xyz
In today’s digital world, cyber frauds have become more advanced and emotionally manipulative. Victims are often tricked through video calls or phone calls, where fraudsters pose as:
- Fake police officers
- Bank officials
- Representatives of orphanages or charity organizations
They may use a police uniform, a jail-like background, or even keep your mobile call hanging, not allowing you to speak to anyone. Then, they trick you into transferring money via NEFT/RTGS to their bank accounts.
But if you’ve been scammed, don’t panic — you can still recover your money through proper legal steps.
📌 Step 1: Report Immediately
As soon as you realize that you are a victim of cyber fraud:
- File a complaint on www.cybercrime.gov.in – India’s official cybercrime portal.
- Also, visit your nearest police station to lodge an FIR in person.
🛑 What Will the Police Do?
After receiving your complaint, the police will:
- Trace the fraudster’s bank account (to which money was sent).
- Contact the respective bank to freeze the fraud account and related accounts.
- Investigate and find out how much of your money is still recoverable from these accounts.
⚖️ Step 2: Approach a Lawyer
Once the police have confirmed that some amount of your money is frozen, you should hire an experienced lawyer to initiate the next legal step.
Your lawyer will file an application in court requesting the release of the frozen money back to your account.
🧾 Important Court Requirement: Security/Surety
The court does not immediately allow the release of funds unless you provide a surety equal to the amount recovered.
Example:
If ₹3,00,000 has been frozen and is recoverable, the court requires you to submit a security of ₹3,00,000, such as:
- A person who owns a vehicle worth ₹3 lakh and agrees to stand surety.
- A Fixed Deposit (FD) of ₹3 lakh in your name.
Only after submitting this surety, the court will issue an order to the police and bank manager to release your funds.
✅ Full Process Summary
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1️⃣ | File a complaint on cybercrime.gov.in and at the police station |
| 2️⃣ | Police freezes the fraudster’s bank account |
| 3️⃣ | Police confirms how much amount is recoverable |
| 4️⃣ | Hire a lawyer to move an application in court |
| 5️⃣ | Submit surety (vehicle or FD) equal to the amount |
| 6️⃣ | Court orders release of your funds to your bank |
❗Also Beware of This New Trick
Cyber fraudsters also pretend to raise donations for orphans or old-age homes, saying things like:
“Donate ₹5,000 now, and we’ll return ₹10,000 as a gesture of goodwill.”
These are emotional scams. No genuine charity ever promises to return money. Do not fall for such donation calls or social media messages.
⚠️ Key Advice:
- Report quickly. The sooner you act, the higher the chance your money will be recovered.
- Never delay or stay silent. Legal action is your right.
- Discuss with a trusted lawyer as soon as possible to begin court proceedings.
👨⚖️ Conclusion:
Yes, cyber fraud is painful, but recovery is possible. If the complaint is filed promptly, and you follow the right legal process, your lost money can be returned to you. With the help of the police and a good lawyer, you can take control and fight back.
