You are most likely facing a loan scam. The scenario you described is very common in fraudulent lending schemes. First, stop all payments, including the requested ₹10,000. You must document all communications and transactions about this loan offer for your records. Then, report the scam to local authorities in the UAE, such as the police or the Cybercrime Department. Let the bank also be informed about the scenario to keep an eye for such unauthorized transactions. Consult an attorney specializing in financial fraud as well to advise on future measures you can take against them.

Since they are asking for a fee to release the loan, do not send any money, including the ₹10,000 requested, as this is a common scam tactic. Keep records of all communications, including screenshots and emails related to the transaction. Report the scam to relevant authorities. In the UAE, contact Dubai Police or the Consumer Protection Department and in India, report the website to the Cyber Crime Cell or National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. Inform your bank to monitor your account for suspicious activity. Scammers often use intimidation tactics, but they have no legal basis for threats against you. If you feel threatened or unsure about your situation, consider seeking advice from legal professionals or local authorities.
