BHi All,
My father got scammed by a group of people from Visakhapatnam (in Andhra Pradesh). They took around 70 lakhs from him saying this is an investment in some company which will extract some rare metal from the earth and my fathers investment will become 10-20 times(This happened over a course of 5-6 years). My father being very naive took loans and gave them the money (he did not inform this to me or my mother). These people from the past 5 years are saying they will return the money. But we are getting nothing. Finally we sold off our entire property to repay those loans and interests. This is when we (me n my mother) got to know about this scam.My father said he used to deposit money in their account via the atm money deposit machines. We dont have any proofs for this except few voice recordings and messages where these guys said they will return the money in a few days.
My father is aged and is depressed. We are in an extremely helpless situation. Can someone please help. Is there some way where we can get our money back..?

SYeah you aren’t getting anything back.
Your dad was stupid enough to get scammed. You can file an FIR but cops will demand money to file. , -

LYou are for sure not getting any penny back. That’s the truth.
It’s a lesson your father has learnt in a hard way, I wish you the best.

MStfu man. He’s here seeking legal advice. He’s already under duress. Have some empathy. If he wanted your used up Google quotes, he wouldn’t have been here. Take your cringe ass quotes and moral policing elsewhere

SNot a single lawyer here till now with legal advise just name calling the victim 🤷♂️. I guess first step should be filing FIR.
-
MExactly. I don’t understand what sort of sadistic satisfaction these idiots get by blaming the victim. I guess these are all new gen morons who think everything is funny and dank as long as it’s not happening to them.

PI read through the post. It is extremely distressing to read it as a lawyer and an ex banker Unfortunately I am based in NCR.
Apart from filing an FIR..OP needs to Go to the bank in whose Cash Deposit Machine money was deposited and check which account the credits were being done. If the Bank refuses, ask Police to summon the bank with details. They need to extract the data from backup if need be. The Bank where the scammer has an account will be able to give KYC and other details to Police. This should be the srating point. If Police dont take interest use a lawyer to file FIR through court.

S1. File an FIR
2. Get Account Details, Address and contact number. If they are from AP & TG, you have high chance of catching them but you need recommendation from Politicians for the police to help you out.
3. But again recovery is a question mark as it is liquid cash!
4. These things take time and you need to file a court case and get that case to judgement.
This is the legal way.

FI am sure you have reached police or whichever authority you were directed to.
Being in India if you don’t have political clout, I doubt you will get any proper outcome.
However you said the loan is take care of by selling property (very sad), but you are out of loan, which is very bright side of it.If you can afford (may be you have insurance) get your dad clinical psychological therapy, to prevent him from getting into depression (which can be more bad than just loosing money)
You are young, and your dad is still able bodied, rebuild and get back on your feet.
Lesson is learnt, move on.
Nothing will you get from staring at past.
If you get any response from police etc, it’s bonus.It has taken your dad to build 70 lakh his life time, but in this era it will take lesser time since you and your dad are two people doing it (you were a. Child when he did that)
Sit down with him, ask him what we can do to start over? Use his experience and work base knowledge to levrage and work on turbo mode.Good luck.

EATM deposit machines give you receipts after the transaction, You can ask for the Cctv footage from the bank after an FIR, Don’t get them a slightest hint of the FIR and record calls and let them confess that they have your money, This is the least you can do my brother, But again getting your hard earned money back is still a gamble because they must have spend it taking an timespan of 4-5 years, Take care of your dad and make sure he does not blame himself and do anything bad as he only wanted good for your family and now when things turned bad all he has is you and your mom.
