        Idk what to do now, I was roped into a crypto scam… now that I look back at it, it was obviously a pyramid scheme, it started off with the scammer showing me a catalogue of his services, eg 3k to 10k, 10k to 15k etc etc… I selected 3k to 10k and sent him the money via upi it was super sketchy as the upi id said XX hair saloon…
        I later got a doctored image with my name and the amount I paid in some btc website, and then the scammer asked me for 5k more to finish the registration, I asked him why is he asking for more money since I was only informed that I would only have to pay 3k to avail an increased amount of 10k, I reluctantly sent him the money and after a while he told me I needed to send him 10.5k as a commission and 2-5 mins after which the entire lump sum of 56k would be deposited into my account… I was blindsided and contemplated a lot, I was 90% sure it was a scam but the 10% nagged me and I asked for the upi Id to send the funds, this time the upi id was of some random woman… (I’m not naming her) and after I paid him the 10.5k he told me to wait a few secs and then asked me to pay 16.5k more as a btc to inr conversion charge, and he also told me my profits were as much as 89k (at this point i knew for sure it was a scam and a pyramid scheme…) I immediately contacted my bank and asked them if they could reverse the charges, and the customer service representative told me they would conduct an investigation and it might take upto 90 days for this issue to be resolved,
        I’m m not typing all the details, if you are interested pls contact me via dm

        Tldr, got scammed of 18.5k rupees and requested bank for assistance, but am unsure of what to do and am seeking legal advice…

          I understand i was the fool, and this’ll be a lesson for me, but I’m really desperate for any legal route which I can pursue to get even a fraction of my money back…

            Call 1930 immediately and keep the record of all the transactions, along with the UTR number.
