What legal action can I take after being scammed for money?

If someone I know from India scams me by pretending to need urgent money, taking the money, and then blocking me, but I have their name, address, and phone number, can I file a complaint about this incident?

Yes, you can file a complaint with the police for fraud and cheating. Since you have the person's contact details and other information, it can help track the scammer. You can also approach consumer protection authorities or file a complaint in a cybercrime cell if it involves online fraud. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
