Dear Client, as per your query, if you suspect fraud, you can reach the National Cyber Crime Helpline at 1930 or report the crime through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, which may result in the freezing of the fraudster’s bank account. A complaint can also be lodged with the Pune Cyber Police Station for cheating and criminal intimidation under Section 318 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (previously IPC Section 420) and Section 66D of the IT Act. In addition, users can also contact the bank with the cybercrime acknowledgment number in order to initiate a transaction dispute with the bank, which is essential evidence in the matter. I hope this answer is helpful. In case of further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank You.
United Health Plus, Pune, induced me with a false job offer and illegally collected ₹1,67,000 in the name of refundable deposits for training, certification, GST, remittance, and other charges. After receiving the money, they stopped responding, deleted communications, and are now abusing and refusing to refund the amount, which clearly amounts to cheating, fraud, and unfair trade practice.
