CIf your net worth is more than 150,000 USD, you can definitely afford a consultation with a qualified lawyer. Present your plan to them and see what expert advice you get. It will be worth the money you spend.CYou should only be shaken up if someone can read your mind. If your information has been put out there on any website, rest assured, that data has been scraped, packaged and sold many times over. Data privacy is not a thing at this stage.
All the information the scammer presented could have easily been collected and aggregated from social media and data brokers. So, just because they have this information, doesn’t mean they are from a credible source.
CHiring a stranger off telegram for a “massage” should have been the first red flag. In a way, I am glad you only lost that much money, and this didn’t escalate further into you getting kidnapped or worse.You are not getting that money back. You can try going the legal route, it is going to cost you more money and also you run the risk of people in your circle knowing about the details of this case. You are not living in a country where it’s safe and easy to hire someone over the internet for such services. It is almost always a scam. Now you know, so just move on and never take such a risk again.
CIt is a huge public safety concern. The risk increases as their population grows along with the increase of rabid dogs. We have daily incidents with varying degree of severity across the country. Why it’s essential to sterilize to bring down population count and also vaccinate to cut the risk of rabies.Along with quarantining and putting down any stray animal that has a history of biting incidents, they are ticking time bombs.
Also, you are not breaking any laws by protecting yourself from an attack. There is no law that says “you need to endure an animal attack without any form of self defense”. With a stray dog, often the best move is run and avoid the bites.
CA mass sterilization and vaccination drive would be a great place to start. But from the state of public services and infrastructure in this country, I don’t think any money is going to be set aside to tackle this issue at the scale it is required to see an impact. Not on the priority list for any politician.CThis is very a common scam. Very likely they are just trying to see if they can get more money out of you through threats. Almost zero chance to get back any money too. If you get police involved, you have to reveal you gave your friend’s ID without his consent to avail of this service, which might land you in trouble for misusing his ID.Best move is just to ignore all forms of communication, and it should stop once they realize they are not getting anything more out of you.
C[https://cybercrime.gov.in/](https://cybercrime.gov.in/)Go ahead and report the crime through the portal. The odds of recovering the 50 lakh will be low, it’s very likely the money has been moved out of the country and even been laundered.
DO NOT send them anymore money, the tax is part of the scam to see if they can extract more money, hoping the desperation to get the money back will make you do it.
And it’s time to educate everyone in your family and yourself who handles money about the common scams happening nowadays. This scam is not new, it’s an old one and it’s always effective on people who know next to nothing about trading. Be aware and protect yourself going forward.
CThis is NOT LEGAL ADVICE. This is your personal opinion on what this woman should have done, as if that is going to change what happened or provide anything of substance or relevance to the victim.CHow is this a relevant comment when the post was seeking information about the legal process?Reading what happened and then deciding it’s time for you to pass commentary about the assaulted person’s action is a poor choice. Do you think the victim doesn’t know that it was a mistake to trust this person and be in that position after what he did to her?
C[Crackdown on illegal ‘Rent-a-Car’ services including Zoomcar, Minister vows strict action](https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2024/12/14/rent-a-car-service-zoomcar-illegal-crackdown-minister-ganesh-kumar.html)That’s worth a read.
CThere is one important rule when it comes to lending to family and friends.Only lend money that you can afford to live without and never get back.
