If you are a cybercrime victim, your first step should be to file an online complaint at https://cybercrime.gov.in or report it to the nearest cyber police station. Keep screenshots, emails, call logs, or transaction details as evidence. Early reporting increases the chances of catching the culprit and recovering the data or money.
