Cyber Fraud Complaints

Cyber fraud refers to illegal activities conducted through digital platforms or electronic communication with the intention of deceiving individuals or businesses for financial gain. With the rapid growth of online transactions, digital banking, and e-commerce, cyber fraud cases have increased significantly, making legal protection and prompt action essential.

Cyber fraud may involve various forms of online crimes such as online banking fraud, phishing scams, identity theft, credit card fraud, OTP fraud, social media scams, and unauthorized digital transactions. In India, cybercrime offenses are primarily governed by the Information Technology Act, 2000, along with relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) that address fraud, cheating, and criminal misuse of electronic systems.
