        I recently fell victim to a cyber fraud scam where I lost ₹1000. As advised, I immediately called **1930** (the cyber fraud helpline) to report the incident. My complaint was then forwarded to the **local police**, but instead of taking action, they kept giving me the runaround—telling me to “call tomorrow” every time I followed up.

        Now, my **bank account is frozen**, and I can’t make any **UPI transactions** or withdrawals. However, the most confusing part is that before my account was frozen, I had **₹1000.49** in my account. But now, it only shows **₹0.49**!

        This is where things get really **suspicious**. The police were aware that I had been scammed for exactly ₹1000, and after my complaint, an additional ₹1000 has **vanished from my account**. Did the police or the bank take the money? Was it deducted due to the fraud complaint? I have no idea what’s happening.

        I am going to my **bank today** to find out what’s going on, but I feel completely lost and frustrated. If anyone has gone through something similar, please advise me on:

        1. **Why would money disappear from a frozen account?**
        2. **How can I get my account unfrozen quickly?**
        3. **What legal steps can I take if the bank and police don’t help?**

        This whole experience makes me question why they even promote 1930 if there’s no real action taken. Any help or insights would be appreciated!
