How can I recover my funds from fraud company?

I am writing to report a cyber fraud incident involving investments I made through the fraudulent HDFC VIP app, introduced to me by Ms. Q, who claimed to be an assistant to Mr. X of HDFC Securities. Initially, I declined an IPO for Sahaj Solar Limited, but I later invested ₹139,200 in Prizor Viztech Limited. After that, I made a transaction of ₹288,000 for Sanstar Limited. Despite showing substantial profits, my attempts to withdraw funds were blocked, and I was coerced into taking a loan of ₹1,532,000 for a new IPO. Upon investigation, I discovered the app was a scam. I have filed a complaint with the Cyber Cell (Complaint No. 4966/24) and reported the transactions on the Cyber Crime portal, receiving acknowledgment numbers for my complaints. I urgently request assistance in recovering my invested funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

To address your situation, continue to cooperate with the Cyber Cell and provide them with all evidence related to your investments and communications. Since you've already filed a complaint, consider engaging a lawyer who specializes in cyber fraud to take further legal action for recovering your funds. They can assist you in pursuing claims against the fraudsters and potentially filing a civil suit for recovery. Additionally, inform your bank about the fraud to help protect your accounts. Stay persistent in following up with authorities, as these cases can take time to resolve.
