Trivandrum: In the event that you fall victim to online financial fraud, you have the option to immediately dial the toll-free number 1930 designated for Cyber Crime Reporting. This hotline operates around the clock, 24/7. The Cybercrime Helpline (1930) collaborates with numerous banks and financial institutions. Swiftly notifying the helpline at 1930 about any online financial scams is crucial. Timely reporting of such incidents can aid law enforcement in the recovery of lost funds.
This approach enables investigators to gather pertinent evidence and initiate necessary measures before any traces of the offense are eradicated. Instances of cybercrime communicated via the helpline will be directed to the relevant police station, where a First Information Report (FIR) will be lodged. The complainant has the option to reach out to the concerned police station or dial 1930 for updates on case registration and ongoing investigations. Additionally, there exists a national online portal for reporting cybercrime, accessible at www.cybercrime.gov.in, where complaints can be submitted electronically.
