I and my 3 friends were looking for a flat in chennai near to our college, we gave 50k for booking the flat as advertised on 99acres. The person regularly contacted us until today in the evening, he is not picking up the calls and messages are not even reaching him. What can I do ?

Go to nearest police station, file a cyber crime complaint, share all the transaction details, everything else will be handled by investigating officer and banks.

Hi. I’m a lawyer here. Wait a bit, may be he’s stuck somewhere no? If things don’t change until tomorrow, file a police complaint asap.

This is the same story with Housing.com. These websites don’t have RERA registered brokers..seem to leak personal data like a sieve and all manner of crooks have infiltrated these websites . I have filed a consumer complaint in NCR against a website and also on cyber crime portal. Dothe cybercrime complaint immediately
