Dad got scammed
A big tragedy happened with my family. Yesterday, my father lost almost 15 lakhs in scam. The person depicted himself to be from electricity department and called my father regarding electricity bill. He gave my father a link on whatsapp. He clicked on the link and idk what happened but I guess everything got cloned on that mf device. He got two of his account details and debited approx 15 lakhs. It was his retirement money that he earned through his 35 years of hard work in private. I'm feeling so broken right now. I can't see him like this. He's an retired man in his 60s and now this incident will eat him up from inside till his last breath. Is there anything to bring any amount back????

Try filling a complaint on a cybercrime portal website or immediately reach out to your bank and tell about the incident and also fill a complaint to cyber police.
We already did all of that. We made a call at 1930 and she told my dad that they haven't received any query or complaint from your bank. They've asked to submit the evidence in written form in the cyber crime department. I'm feeling hopeless rn. Is there any chance to recover any amount? Cause the transactions are made into merchant account
If police track with the help of bank as soon as possible , money is recoverable and police can catch the fraudster , more the delay less likely the money recovery.
FYI... Your father has lost enough money.
So, Police will loot some more money now.
Cyber security dept will not do anything but trying how to scam a victim again..
All govt agencies are useless.
Judiciary is the biggest loooter....
Try to take actions in your personal level
Like how?
Come on dude. Don't listen to this guy, go file a cyber complaint in a police station, they'll block the fraudster's bank and any other bank the money trailed to. If they've withdrawn the entirety of the amt its a little difficult
File a police case, file a case with RBI. Inform bank, trace accounts

Cause the transactions are made into merchant account. Police is lazy about this whole situation. They're telling my dad that he should've been more aware about all this things and it would be hard to catch them if they're in another state and all
I mean Bank should not do any transaction more than 5 lakhs without the owner permissions, no matter even if OTP is present with them, there should b a system, I feel like even banks are involved into this
Which bank was this? Usually people get transaction monitoring call from banks if you transfer large amounts, i get this call from HDFC to confirm the transaction is done by me or not. There should be some limit by default for transactions, did you check that?
UCO bank it is. My dad asked them about this same thing and they told him that these net banking or mobile banking services is all on your hands. We've nothing to do with that
So your Dad had internet banking enabled? Bottomline:- Never get online/internet banking enabled for senior citizens, or for anyone who is not technically aware of these things. And if all this happened despite no internet banking pre-enabled, that means everything got enabled fresh and for that Bank officials must be directly involved in scamming. Try to understand how it happened and then may be you can recover some money. If you find the scammer guy’s address (using recipient bank account), then simply take 5-10 guys, or local police, and raid his home
These financial frauds use so-called “mule accounts”, but even if you are able to reach those mule accounts guys, you still may have some hope to recover some money. But yeah, speed is of essence. Just find contacts/friends in all the involved banks and get the mule accounts guy’s address.
Can you send the link here, let people be aware. Just copy paste, don't click again. Add a special character in the domain so that mistaken clicks don't get scammed (if it's a direct link to download and install automatically)
He has reported my dad's whatsapp and he's unable to login in his own account now

Select the respective category and say that your complaint is going unheard
Can't a complaint to the bank about the fraudent transaction revert the payment? I see mostly of the debit and credit card accounts give this benefits on all banks.
