The target of cybercriminals is to account for every person who, knowingly or unknowingly or by greed, gets caught in their trap. Funds are withdrawn from bank accounts or e-wallets in the blink of an eye.
This amount can be saved if some precautions are taken. There are two ways of this. First of all, as soon as you get the message to withdraw money from the account, file a report on the website of Cyber Police www.cybercrime.gov.in and then inform on the nationally operated helpline 155260.

The sooner this work is done, the higher the chances of survival of the maximum amount.
Officials associated with cyber police say that the best way to avoid such criminals is to be vigilant.
Do not give your personal information to the greed of unknown people and do not click on any link sent by an unknown person. Even after this, if there is any kind of fraud and the amount is withdrawn from the bank account or e-wallet, then show promptness.
Cybercriminals spend the amount in no time. Due to lack of information, people remain troubled for hours and criminals can do their work.
Understand the process of complaint like this
The website www.cybercrime.gov.in is the main mode of filing complaints. It is the Indian Cyber Crime Reporting Portal Center set up by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. It has a system for Citizen Cyber. Here is the option of crime-fraud reporting. The portal houses cyber experts, executives of banks, and companies associated with e-wallets.
Along with making complaints here, arrangements are made to stop payment in the account from which the amount has been withdrawn and wherever the transaction (amount transfer) has been done. Once the complaint is registered on the portal, the payment is stopped and the information is given on the helpline.
During this process, the whole or most of the amount can be prevented from reaching the cybercriminals.

Readiness to provide information
People are being made aware of cybercrime through various means. Complaints on the portal and information on the helpline are two ways in which money can be saved.
Time is of great importance in this. As soon as people give this information, action can be taken to save their amount. Yogesh Chaudhary, Additional Director General of Police, State Cyber Cell, Madhya Pradesh
