Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a recent scam I fell for — in hopes of warning others and getting some legal/financial advice.

I was looking for RCB vs CSK IPL tickets and found someone on X (Twitter) with a verified account (@dhoniverse7) offering them. He shared genuine-looking ticket screenshots with his name, which looked like email confirmations. That, combined with the blue tick, made him seem trustworthy.

We moved to WhatsApp to coordinate. He said he was based in Udupi, so meeting in person wasn’t possible. Then came the payment part:

First, he gave me a UPI ID: JKBMERC00259715@jkb — but it wasn’t in his name (was under SANA JABEEN) I raised concerns. He said it was a “work UPI” and he doesn’t use personal UPI due to business reasons.

Then he gave me full bank details, which looked legit:
Account Name: NITHIN M UPADHYA
Account Number: 5652500100114201
IFSC Code: KARB0000565
Account Type: SBA
I transferred ₹9000 here.

Later, he told me the account was dormant, and that the money might get refunded. It actually did get refunded to my account, which weirdly
made me trust him even more.

He then suggested sending to his “work UPI” again — I tried, but it failed due to a technical error.
Finally, he gave me another UPI ID: siqvhe19mxtx@idbi (under Sadman Rizwi) — I sent the money…
And he immediately blocked me.

What I’ve done:

1. Filed a complaint on cybercrime.gov.in
2. Filed an FIR at the local police station
3. Reported the scammer’s Ppe account

Need help with:

Has anyone successfully recovered money from a bank transfer or UPI scam?

Can banks freeze or trace the account with this info?

Would appreciate any guidance or next steps. Also, hoping this post helps prevent others from falling for the same scam.

I think it’s possible to reverse upi transactions if I’m not wrong. Try contacting the bank and ask them to reverse the transaction and you might get your money back

With those names, you should’ve backed off immediately.
