        Hi
        I was in Kashmir for a Vacation, I got a message from an unknown number having a DP of my friend …he was asking me for 4 lakhs because his dad is in hospital. I called my friend’s original number which he didn’t pick up after 3 4 calls . At the same time I recieved a message from the scammer saying some network issue is there in hospital please send me money asap because my dad is in critical condition.
        I sent him money thinking I am going in No network zone and things might go bad for him. As soon as I sent him my original friend called me asking what happened. I got to know I got scammed. Within 3 hours I registered the complaint in Cyber Crime Portal and went to cyber cell. They said they have frozen the scammer’s account and money is still in Google nodal account.
        After 10 days I am recieving some email stating xxx money put on hold. (Nearly half of the amount) , the bank at which money is found is Catholic Serian Bank (layer 3).
        Now the police is saying they need to verify with bank and it’s taking so much of time. I am not sure whether my money is gonna come or not hence I wanted to seek legal advice from lawyers or somebody who has been a victim of this.
        Any help is appreciated.

          Your money will come back to you eventually dw. And also you’re a lawyer man. Be smarter than this. You fell for the oldest trick in the book.

              Sorry , I am not a lawyer . But needed some advice from a lawyer because the police has been saying me that don’t keep any hope as the money is in layer 3.

                  It’ll take time but eventually you should be able to get it back. Not soon though. You’ve made the complaint almost immediately too. Don’t use the lawyer flair if you’re not a lawyer. The flair is for posts by lawyers or non-lawyers.

                      Thanks for the correction.
                      Have you come across a similar case before? I am worried just because the police has mentioned me that it’s very much impossible now

                  I can’t believe people transferring 4 L just on 1 msg.

                  I guess I am poor and living in different world
