Fraud helpline India: frequently asked questions
What is the fraud helpline number in India?
For online financial fraud, call the national cyber-crime helpline 1930. For consumer complaints about products and services, the National Consumer Helpline is 1915, also reachable on 1800-11-4000.
Should I call 1930 or my bank first?
Do both as quickly as you can. Report to 1930 and ask your bank to block the transaction or hold the receiving account. Quick reporting gives the best chance of stopping a transfer, but nothing is guaranteed.
Where do I file a cyber fraud complaint online?
File it on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal at cybercrime.gov.in. Keep screenshots, transaction IDs and the scammer’s number ready.
How do I report a fraud call or SMS if I lost no money?
Use the Chakshu service on the Sanchar Saathi portal run by the Department of Telecommunications. Save a screenshot and the sender’s number first.
Can I get my money back after a fraud?
It depends on how fast you report, how the money moved and your bank’s process. We cannot promise recovery. Never pay anyone who offers to recover your money for a fee.
Is Yahoo News Today a government helpline?
