What legal steps now can be taken against fake data entry site demanding money?

My sister, an undergraduate, submitted her Aadhaar card to an online data entry (form-filling) website. She was unaware whether the company was genuine. They assigned her a 5-day task, but due to health issues, she couldn’t complete it. Now they are demanding ₹6,490 as portal charges and are threatening legal action. What should we do?

This is a scam. No need to pay any money. They cannot take legal action as these companies are often fake. Lodge a cybercrime complaint online (cybercrime.gov.in) and block further contact. Don’t share any personal information or pay anything. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
