May 3, 2026 at 9:53 amHey everyone,I’m a student and currently dealing with a serious issue. I really need some guidance.
My bank account has a ₹2000 hold (lien) due to a cyber crime complaint. When I contacted the police, they told me it’s a Layer 2 case.
Here’s what happened:
Random people messaged me on Telegram offering “review/rating tasks” to earn money. I ignored them initially, but one day I agreed.
They gave small tasks and paid me initially, which made it seem genuine.
Then they asked me to send ₹1000, saying it was required to continue. After that, they said the amount got “stuck” and asked me to send ₹2000 more, promising a return of ₹3900.
I eventually received ₹3900, but by then I realized this was a scam pattern, so I stopped everything and blocked them.
Now suddenly, my account is flagged and ₹2000 is on hold.
On top of that, my current situation is:
– I only have ₹800 in my account
– Because of the ₹2000 hold, my balance is showing around –₹1200
I spoke to the concerned side, and they are saying:
If I return ₹2000 to the complainant/accused, the hold will be removed.
This is where I’m confused:
– I didn’t scam anyone intentionally
– I was part of this unknowingly
– I stopped as soon as I understood
– I’m a student and don’t even have enough balance now
Is it safe or correct to send ₹2000 directly to them?
Or should everything be handled only through official channels like cyber cell/bank?
Has anyone faced a similar Layer 2 lien situation?
How did you resolve it?
Any advice would really help. Thanks!
