In the digital age, online financial fraud has become an alarming concern, affecting millions of people worldwide. To combat this growing menace, the Indian government has set up a dedicated National Cyber Crime Helpline Number, 1930, to assist victims of cybercrime, including online financial fraud. Here’s everything you need to know about how to report such crimes.
The Cyber Crime Helpline Number 1930 is a government-backed initiative designed to assist victims of cybercrimes. The helpline was introduced by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) of India as part of their ongoing efforts to combat rising cybercrime threats. It provides a toll-free and nationwide service for people who fall victim to digital crimes, offering them an accessible channel for reporting incidents and seeking help.

How to Report Financial Fraud via 1930 Helpline
-
Call the Helpline Number: The National Cyber Crime Helpline Number is 1930. This is a toll-free number available 24/7 for anyone who has fallen victim to cybercrime or online financial fraud. Victims can call the helpline to report their cases, and the operators will guide them through the next steps.
-
Online Reporting via the Website: In addition to calling the helpline, victims can report financial fraud online by visiting the official website: https://cybercrime.gov.in. This government-run portal allows users to file complaints related to cybercrimes, including online banking fraud, credit card fraud, and more. On the website, users can select their respective state, and choose the category of the cybercrime (financial fraud, hacking, etc.) to submit their complaint.
-
Information Needed to File a Complaint: When reporting the crime, it is essential to provide accurate details: Nature of the Fraud: Was it online banking fraud, debit/credit card fraud, phishing, or any other type of online scam? Date and Time of Incident: When did the fraud occur? Financial Loss: Mention the amount that was lost in the fraudulent activity. Evidence: Any screenshots, emails, or other documentation supporting the claim should be uploaded for faster resolution.
-
Follow-Up Actions: Police Station: In severe cases, victims are advised to report the crime at their local police station for further investigation. Bank Notification: If the fraud is linked to a bank or financial transaction, victims should immediately contact their bank’s customer service to halt further unauthorized transactions. Preserving Security: Victims should also take steps to secure their accounts by changing passwords, freezing bank accounts, and reporting compromised information.
Common Types of Online Financial Fraud:
-
Phishing: Fraudsters use fake websites, emails, or messages to steal sensitive information like account credentials, card numbers, and passwords.
-
QR Code Frauds: In these scams, fraudsters use fake QR codes that, when scanned, transfer money from the victim’s bank account to theirs.
-
Fake Calls or SMS: Scammers call or send SMS messages pretending to be from banks or government agencies to extract sensitive banking details.
-
Online Shopping Fraud: Fraudsters create fake e-commerce websites or listings, and after the victim makes a purchase, they either deliver substandard goods or none at all while stealing financial information.
What Should You Do if You Fall Victim to Online Fraud?
-
Contact Your Bank Immediately: Notify your bank as soon as possible if you suspect fraud. Many banks offer 24/7 support for cases of financial fraud and can freeze accounts to prevent further loss.
-
File a Complaint: Report the fraud by calling 1930 or using the official website. The earlier you report the incident, the better the chances of recovering the lost money or apprehending the criminals.
-
Gather Evidence: Collect any supporting evidence, such as call logs, SMS, email communications, and screenshots of the fraudulent transactions. These documents will be crucial in your investigation.
-
Take Additional Security Measures: Change all online banking passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added protection. If your bank account was compromised, request a change of account number or PIN.
