Muslims who immigrate to USA and then protest Zionism are hypocrites
My parents fell trap to a phone scam in India where the scammer demanded money in exchange of getting me released from police. Is there any way to get money back from ICICI and SBI bank if the transfer was done to several accounts through the branch itself through RTGS Also does google or anyone offer any sort of insurance or fraud protection or tax deduction if you sent the money yourself? Feeling devastated in life with this stupidity from them. Don’t know how we’ll recover since its a lot of money in India. Note: Please don’t question again and again why I didn’t call them. I’ve been in US 10 years and call them twice a week only. Also my parents have got adamant with age. #investments
Check with HR, I’m pretty sure Google would have legal insurance for these scenarios
I know who someone recovered 8 lacs. Go to the bank (branch manager) immediately. He can find where the money went to. Then go to police cyber cell. File a fir. Don't leave the police station without a fir. The cyber cell people have to send an email to the receiving bank to get your money back. The most important thing is speed is the key. If the scammer breaks up the 50 lacs into 50 bits of 1 lacs in other countries and moves it through multiple accounts you won't be able to get it back. So go to the bank and immediately speak to the manager.
Thanks does reporting an online cyber cell complaint count?
No no. Go to the police station and meet the OC. I think you might have to bribe him a bit. The people I know paid 20k but for that money police took out their Jeep and visited the branch with him, which helped a lot.
What the hell? Did they give out the OTP to the scammers?
They went to branch 3 consecutive days and did RTGS themselves
They did not speak to you for 3 days?
Never get Lackadaisical with money
Telling them entire life, they cant handle internet banking but are arrogant when told not to do it
OP, you don't speak to your parents often? How come your parents didn't call you on whatsapp to verify the scammer claims?
Exactly, I was busy in the work week, my parents didnt call me because of the urgency and threatening tone from scammer
OP, don't admonish your parents. Actually the best thing to do is to tell them that you can earn that money in no time. Otherwise, they will get depressed and lose sleep over it and can get health complications.
How can you transfer 50 lakhs just like that? As an NRI, SBI doesn’t even let me transfer 50K, I have to visit the bank in person.
Yes they visited bank in person
OP, for awareness please share what happened. Hope you can recover all money.
There’s a scam going on, they’ll call your parents and say that you are in jail for rape. Parents need to do bank transfer to get me out
Lol, the funny thing is your parents believed you did a rape after all the hard work and getting into Google
There has to be a neighbor or relative who would help? Someone has to take them to the police station and file report there
Ya we know someone but every one only helps till a limit. My parents act like irresponsible kids
Def not tambams
I am so sorry OP. Police + cyber police is the only way AFAIK.
