April 19, 2025 at 7:33 amGuys, need urgent help!Yesterday, my father fell victim to an APK scam and lost around ₹93,000. It’s been almost 22–23 hours now. Since it happened on Good Friday, the bank was closed and we couldn’t act immediately.
He filed a cybercrime complaint, and we received a text confirming it’s been registered. But when we try to follow up on the given number, the police say they’ll call us once they receive the complaint — which they should have already.
The complaint is registered in Surendranagar, Gujarat. If anyone has contacts in the cyber cell or local police, or any suggestions on what to do next, please help. Really appreciate any support!

April 19, 2025 at 8:03 amI am not expert in this but that’s what I’ll followRemove sim from the phone where you’ve installed apk file make sure there is no email or anything linked with your bank or any bank app is present even Gmail or any email notifications , turn off wifi too ..
If possible remove everything related to bank or just reset your device , but if you want to show it to someone for inspection that what actually happen then resetting might not be a good option
Also put your sim in another phone and install bank app or setup your email on that new phone to keep track what’s happening

April 19, 2025 at 10:08 amIf you think iPhones are 100% secure, you’re delusional. But yes, the OS is better protected than Androids.-
