How to legally recover my money lost in online scam?

I lost money in a trading scam and have filed a complaint with the cybercrime department. They have put some funds on hold and I have also filed a complaint at the police station, but they have not yet filed an FIR. Is it possible to recover the lost amount, or can I get the amount that is on hold?

You can file a complaint under the Information Technology Act, 2000 for fraud. Contact a cybercrime lawyer to follow up on the investigation. If the funds are held by authorities, you can request clarification from them through your lawyer. Once the investigation is complete, you may be able to recover your lost amount or receive the funds held on hold. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
