Cyber Fraud Legal Consultation & Strategy
Case & Evidence Audit
- Fact Finding: Verbal review of the incident mechanics (OTP sharing, fake URLs, or AEPS cloning).
- Chain of Causation: Detailed analysis of screenshots, WhatsApp chats, and bank logs to build the evidence trail.
- Jurisdiction Check: Identification of the correct Police Station or Cyber Cell (e.g., Tis Hazari vs. Saket) based on residence and bank details.
Recovery Roadmap
- Legal Categorization: Classifying the fraud under specific BNS sections (Theft vs. Cheating) or IT Act violations.
- Remedy Selection: Comparative explanation of Criminal (FIR) versus Civil (Money Suit) remedies.
- Immediate Mitigation: Guidance on debit freezing and reporting to the National Cyber Crime Portal (1930).
Session Deliverables
- Prima Facie Opinion: Candid assessment on whether the case holds water legally or should be closed to save costs.
- Custom Fee Quote: Transparent pricing for filing the actual complaint or suit if proceeding.
Police Complaint & FIR Management
Legal Drafting
- Structured Complaint: Drafting a formal representation citing specific sections of BNS and IT Act (e.g., Section 66D) to replace generic layman letters.
- Evidence Compilation: Formatting digital proofs like screenshots and bank statements to meet legal standards (Section 65B Certificate guidance).
- Dual Filing: Submission of the complaint to both the Station House Officer (SHO) and the Cyber Cell unit.
Station Representation & Escalation
- Physical Follow-up: Up to 2 visits by an advocate or associate to the police station to push for action.
- RTI Strategy: Drafting and filing a Right to Information application to track status if the FIR is delayed.
- Senior Escalation: Drafting representations to the DCP or Superintendent of Police if the local station is unresponsive.
Case Tracking
- IO Coordination: Managing initial inquiries from the Investigating Officer to shield the client from police pressure.
- Progress Updates: Regular status reports on the file movement within the police hierarchy.
Civil Money Recovery Suit Filing
Strategic Drafting
- Forum Selection: Determining the best route between Civil Summary Suit (faster remedy) or Consumer Forum (for bank negligence).
- Plaint Construction: Drafting 10 to 15 pages of legal facts, grounds, and prayers for principal amount plus interest and legal costs.
- Party Impleadment: Legal identification and listing of all liable parties including the fraudster, beneficiary account holders, and banks.
Court Registry & Filing
- Documentation: Preparation of Affidavits, Vakalatnama, and Verification clauses required by District Courts.
- Defect Curing: Handling and clearing technical objections raised by the Court Registry to ensure listing.
- Physical Submission: Filing of hard copies at the specific court jurisdiction (e.g., Saket or Tis Hazari).
Admission & Summons
- Admission Hearing: Appearance by the advocate before the Judge to argue for case admission.
- Summons Issuance: Legal arguments to secure "Summons for Judgment" or "Notice" against the fraudster or bank.
- Service Advisory: Guidance on serving the issued notice via Dasti, Speed Post, or Email to the opposing party.
About Cybercrime & Online Fraud Law
I know how bad it feels when you get scammed online. That panic, anger, and not knowing who to trust—it messes with your head. I’ve seen all kinds of digital pange (troubles) in my work, and my job is to help you fight back with the right legal tools.
The New Face of Online Fraud
Scammers are not just after OTPs anymore. The 'mamla' (matter) has become serious:
- UPI frauds, fake e-commerce, and digital payments gone wrong
- “Digital arrest” extortion: impersonators pretending to be cops or ED officials, demanding money
- Aadhaar and fingerprint (AEPS) scams—yes, paisa (money) can disappear with just a cloned thumbprint
- Investment frauds where people promise big returns and vanish
- Data theft and privacy breaches—especially under the new Digital Personal Data Protection Act
What I Actually Do
My approach is simple. We use law as our weapon:
- Money recovery: Filing police complaints (Section 420 IPC) or fast-track summary suits
- Tackling impersonation: Using Section 66D IT Act India against fraudsters
- Data misuse: Making companies answerable under the new DPDP Act
- Using your digital footprint—WhatsApp chats, DMs, emails—as evidence
What You Can Do
- Don’t share OTP, PIN, or passwords—ever
- Use only trusted sites (look for that ‘https’)
- If someone visits you and asks for money, check their ID, record if possible, and confirm with official helplines
- Don’t click on random links or download unknown files
If you get scammed, time is everything. File a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Portal ASAP. Sahi information hogi toh pange mein nahi fasoge (With the right info, you won’t get trapped). Let’s fight back together.
