UIm gonna cut to the chase. Im so anxious right now i dont even know what to say. I sold crypto online and the buyer sent me money which apparently he stole online from some guy in Andhra Pradesh.
Now Andhra pradesh police has froze my account and my money. When they first called me they were asking me to just give the victim (of the online scam) the money that they held. But i refused.
Now few days back i got a summon from Andhra pradesh police station and it says if I dont show up it will count as an offence. Im only a student, i do not make my own money, I don’t know anyone in Andhra Pradesh. When i called the police officer who called me before, he said that he is no longer the inspector that is investigating this case. When i asked him or help or any contacts for the new police officer, he said he cannot interfere. What am i supposed to do ??? Im very scared. -
BAdvocate here,
The easiest way out of this is to send your advocate on your behalf to the police station and resolve the matter by submitting proof of transactions along with an application requesting the unfreezing of your account and issuing an NOC to your bank for its release. You may also have to return the disputed amount to the complainant.
Remember, do not visit the police station alone.Alternatively, you can file an application before the concerned court to obtain a favorable order for unfreezing your account.

LShouldn’t the guys that did the scam responsibile for returning the money ? How are we the “Second hand victims” responsible for returning the money!
How is this fair ? We loose our crypto and money.
PS; same thing has happened with me as well.

BYes, you are right that it’s unfair, but the fact is that the entire crypto and P2P ecosystem is a grey area, and P2P transactions make it even worse. Since you are the receiver of stolen money, you are now part of the scam, and the burden of proof lies on you to prove otherwise and good luck with that.
Even if you take the matter to court, the court may order your account to be unfreeze but could still place the disputed amount under lien until the case is resolved. If the investigation clears you, only then will they release your account.That’s why the easiest way out is what I already mentioned. Also, people are getting arrested for this, so stay safe and avoid engaging in such transactions.

LOhh they have already frozen my account for 52k when the transaction was for 50k. I am on layer 5 cyber crime officer said its better to wait than to visit the police station as its not 1 day job you might need time there. Can I leave this money and account and move on ?. Will this come up in BGV ?
