        Need advice as I am currently stuck and 40k has been blocked.
        In p2p trading at binance, I did a transaction on 10th March of Rs. 47250 where I sold usdt and the buyer paid me through upi. Later, on 14th March I received a mail from hdfc that hold on 40,000 has been put due to intimation from cyber cell.
        I got the acknowledgment number after visiting the home branch and today I had visited the cyber cell in borivali, Mumbai from where the hold was initiated. The police said that the money has come via a fraud transaction and I am in the 2nd layer, although I showed all proof that I don’t know this person and got the money through a trade, they said they can’t do anything about it.

        I am in dire need of advice on how to proceed here.

                    I have been active in binance from 2018 and doing p2p through upi. This is the first time I have faced such a ruckus.

                                You can’t do anything now, all you can do is find if it’s a lien or a debit freeze on your whole account, coz according to court bank can only put a lien on the amount which is reported like if you have 50000 in your bank and you got 10000 from some fraud account and complaint is about 10000 then your bank can only put a lien on 10000 and rest 40000 you can withdraw

                                        Ask bank to give you a complaint number, take that complaint number to the cyber cell of your city, they’ll search for the complaint number and find out the complainant party, their police station.

                                        You can write an email to the police station or call them directly.

                                        Happened to me last dec, I never mailed them because of my laziness and the sum was small too but this was the way I was shown by the cyber cell police officer of my city.

                                        And yeah, it’s been happening a lot recently so I’ve switched to trading usdt for cash. Find local dealers, deal in cash.

                                        My bank was HDFC as well, you’ll have to haggle the manager for complaint number if he’s an asshole and doesn’t give you in the first try.

                                        Don’t ask the customer executive, visit the manager directly.

                                                I stopped trading P2P after it happened to me once. My funds are still frozen (as I didn’t mail the police) but the account is operational.

                                                    I got an instagram ad about a seller. Search for usdt_(yourcityname) or something like that. If you don’t find anyone, look similarly on Google or something.
                                                    The point is you’ll have to find them.

                                                      Mostly the people who trade on forex buy usdt for cash, look for someone around you who’s into forex and you might be able to break a deal.

                                          Hire a **local advocate** and **never give a statement** without your lawyer present.

                                          Did you already sign the statement? 🤔

                                              No, I have not signed any statement as of yet. But local advocate that accompanied me doesn’t seem to have much knowledge about cyber frauds and such cases.

                                                  Find a **good advocate** who has handled similar cases.

                                                  **UPI money** cannot be easily justified, making this case tricky. Try to **get contacts from other police departments** for additional help.

                                                  Just a couple of questions:
                                                  1️⃣ Does that guy **regularly** transfer money to your account?
                                                  2️⃣ **How long** have you known him?
                                                  3️⃣ If this was his **first transaction**, claim that the money was sent **without your knowledge**.

                                                  If you say the money came from **selling stocks on Binance**, there’s **no proof** linking it to that portal.

                                                  The money **arrived via normal UPI**, not directly from Binance. This makes it **hard to justify** legally.

                                                  Better to **give up the ₹40K** and focus on **exiting the case** smoothly.

                                                      To address your questions,
                                                      1. No there’s no regular transfer that has happened, it was a one time txn.
                                                      2. I do not know the person at all, as sanity check of verification I have his Pan and Aadhar copies in binance chat.
                                                      3. Claiming that would be false na? He can prove he has spoken to me over binance chat.

                                                  Man, my money is also stuck since March 2023 because of binance P2P trade, it was 19k I went to multiple local police stations and cyber cell as well but none of them helped, my case has been registered in some village in UP I can’t go there as it’s 2000km away from where I live unless I’m sure that they’ll actually do something to help me otherwise I’ll just waste my time and money. If you find any legit way or retrieving your money please do share with me as well. Thank you

                                                      I have a similar case in borivali, Mumbai. Seems like they file a lot of cases.

                                                          There seems to be no proper grievance redressal
                                                          The cops aren’t well informed either
