Urgent Help -> I have transferred 20k to some scammer because of whatsapp hack how to reverse? anyway to chargeback or something?
Hello Dimers,
Help -.> I have transferred 20k to some scammer because of "friends whatsapp being hacked" (the scammer communicated as friend and asked help money to scammers account)
transaction took place in gpay
how to reverse? anyway to chargeback or something?
Just a friends whatsapp got hacked and I thought the friend is asking the money and transferred to the hackers account, later realized it that its not friend that asked money and friend told that his whatsapp got hacked
so what should i do as next step?
any guidance will help
Whole point is how WhatsApp can be hacked and why are you so convinced that your friends WhatsApp was hacked?
@DEEPANGEORGE any new update you received from anywhere?
Sorry to say, but bro, nothing happens here in india regarding frauds like this. i am not sure how many of dimers suggesting you these measures have actually got the money back ?
I had a similar experience .I raised a complaint with google upi, acis bank, cyber cell .. google replied you sent your self with upi pin so kind of legal for them. Axis said they would need police FIR n police orders to freeze that account. Till the police does this process, your money is all gone in multiple accounts n cant be traced and that hacker account with 0 amount is freezed.
Cyber crime told me that they went with their team to bengal (in my case it was kolkatta hackers) n when they went to location of the hacker registered address ,it was locked. Police said informally that they share the info with local police n they only inform d hackers n make dem unavailable. Every1 gets their share..
Finally police asked me to come to police station n asked me to close d FIR mentioning police did all efforts
u sud b carefull , now nothing can be done
complaint online in cybercrime website, but your money won't be returned before 2-5 years on successful police intervention. they will surely block scammer account if action taken on time. my father lost 98K got around 28K confirmation but still in hand received only 5K. rest is life...
Hi, tbh ..there is feeble chance of money coming back. Never ever pay to anyone unless you are damn sure. I recall once my courier was delayed and searched courier partners number and called one from Google, the voice on other side was very sweet and polite and said he would definitely look and do the needful of escalation the delivery but he asked me to send him 2/- rupees just to verify my account on his number, I even agreed in desperation but thankfully something within me senses it wasnt right and I didn't proceed, the guy called me to askwhy I didn't do, this reinforced my belief that there is something fishy, so I didn't proceed..the more he persuaded the more it convinced of him being a scammer, thankfully I didn't do it, coz after a few days a similar thalibg happened with my sister, and she did a 2/- transaction and 40k was sweeped from her account, she filed complaints, etc ..but the money wasn't recovered. Money gone but lesson learnt. Hence just share this with your peopl
One more experience, there is a fake show happening for Kids modeling, it is IKFW , India Kids Fashion Week, and they lucrative video ads, I didn't realise that these people aren't genuine and paid 2650/- thinking I got a discount as promised by their representative, nor the show happened nor they returned the money, and they are still running the advertisement on Instagram full time. So don't trust everything and everyone , do a thorough research. Be it kids modeling, fashion model assignments, Canva pro version, etc etc...lot of scammers there. Your money is your responsibility.
File a complaint with cyber crime https://cybercrime.g...n/
It's good for nothing!!
My money is lost and I tried all possibilities 😞
My sister had fell for this fraud back in August.....I was able to get to the account details to which payment was made ....
Pressurized sbi dgm to do their work
Now it is under investigation in my nearest police station
I too faced a fraud with my family member
I had reported to the cyber police then and there, so the amount got frozen but it's under investigation at my police station. What should we do next, can you update me with your progress?
If it is the day of scam
Contact 1930 r and report the crime to cyber police else better apply a complaint in the cyber police portal with screenshots.
They will block the amount
Dude, the amount gets moved out almost the same time u transfer.. police wont block the 2nd in line account saying first accnt did a fraud so we block the 2nd in line account. N dont be so naive that the fraud person will keep the amount in his account n relax back. That gang is faster than the police or bank teams n know the loopholes very nicely.
till now for me its blank as wormhole:) I have less hope on it, but lets wait and see:) hehe well incase if i receive good news I will surely update here in this thread
+ @DEEPANGEORGE, I really wish and hope you get your money back. Bad things happen to the best of us.
I don't know anything more than what fellow dimers have shared with you. However, thank you for creating this thread to raise awareness.
Despite the mental strain you must be experiencing, I have become an admirer of your attitude in such a tenuous situation. You have responded enthusiastically to helpful comments and with equanimity toward the trolls who are trying to rub salt in your wounds.
Sincerely hoping you get your money back.
💯 Paisa refund nahi ayega...
If u are adani or political party leader than only u will get money return
Invest in stock market 1 lac n recover it. Next option. Forget it. No idea abt stocks den better forget it
btw i am already in stock market for some years already :) so kinda know these stock market things a bit
(i am not from corona batch, i am from before that)
btw no offense,
as you were speaking about stock market -> guaranteed return in stock market is a type of scam in itself (so be careful on guaranteeing returns for others USING STOCK MARKET, stock market won't and never work that way)
again no offense:) humanity
Wah kya bat hi
tried contacting bank?

Maybe the friend is scammer
Always give a gap of 6-12 hours period for cooling between demand time & transaction transfer time no matter how urgent it is followed by a call back saying I have cash only Can I deposit cash in Bank Branch ?
When you try to delay , Scammer will irritate, Genuine user won't irritate.
In life n death situation 6-12 hrs period won't help. What if you happen to be in that situation?
One can do is to call before transferring the money. Verify the name. Ask for account number n IFSC code if possible. Search for that IFSC in the internet. Ask if the home branch of the bank is situated in a different city. These steps can be taken. Otherwise just say no.
