How to report scam and recover money from fraudster?

I have been scammed and cheated by a person who claimed to be from a Gurudwara. He convinced me to transfer a large amount of money, saying it was for needy children and made false prophecies to gain my trust. I already requested the bank to reverse the transaction, but they were unable to do so. How can I file a case against this person or request the authorities to freeze the scammer’s account? What steps can I take to report this issue and possibly recover my money?

You should immediately file a complaint at the nearest cybercrime police station or online at cybercrime.gov.in. Give them full details of the fraud and transaction. Also, ask your bank in writing to freeze the scammer’s account. A lawyer can help you file a legal notice or case to recover your money.
