Fake loan application (Need urgent HELP!)

Around 25 days back I saw an advertisement on Instagram about a creadit score checker application on playstore so I installed it and gave some basic details like pan card and selfie verification and after 5 minutes they sent me 2300 rs to my account and later in the application it started showing one active loan and it was showing 4000. I tried to contact customer care but no one replied so I left it then n there hoping to get a reply but on one did.

Now after 20 days I open the application and see the loan amount overdue and asking me 8400 and later get a call from a guy asking me to repay it. This is total scam so I looked for the application online and saw soo many youtube videos claiming it is a total fake and scam application.

Now my concern is what should I do now, I really worried. That guy even called my family members

Can someone please help me out with this

Application name:

SBI Account on Hold Due to Gambling/Commission App – Need Advice

Hi everyone, I need some advice.

My SBI account has been put on hold. First, I received an SMS saying a hold of ₹2,000 was placed, and later another SMS said the hold amount was increased to ₹3,000.

I think this may be because I received money from an app that paid commissions for tasks, but it now seems the app may have been related to gambling or suspicious activities. I wasn't aware of that at the time.

Has anyone faced a similar situation? What usually happens in such cases? How can I get the bank hold removed, and what steps should I take next?

Any genuine advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Help needed: Packers and Movers Scam (Space Logistics, Delhi)

Used ChatGPT to structure the timeline of events.

TLDR : My family's experience with a Packers & Movers company – ₹16,388 paid, belongings still missing, police complaint filed

I'm posting this to warn others and to see if anyone has had a similar experience or can suggest what else we should do.

On 27 May 2026, I booked a Packers & Movers service through Logistic Mart with a company identifying itself as Space Logistics. The contact person was Ajay Chaudhary (8826823621).

The agreed quotation was ₹800 per carton, and I had 6 cartons, making the total agreed amount ₹4,800. We paid ₹1,000 as advance.

On 30 May, three workers came to my residence in Delhi, packed my belongings (clothes, books, utensils, appliances, shoes, important documents and other household items)and took everything with them.

During packing, they asked me to declare an insurance amount. I estimated the value at around ₹50,000. Later that evening, Ajay called and claimed that their machine had assessed the value at ₹1,60,263. When I specifically asked whether this would increase the charges, he clearly assured me that it would not. Based on that assurance, I paid the remaining ₹3,800.

The promised delivery date was 4–5 June.

From 30 May onwards, I repeatedly requested the GST invoice and tracking details. Every day I received a different excuse.

When the promised delivery date passed, I continued following up. Every day I was told the goods would arrive tonight.

On 8 June, instead of receiving my belongings, I suddenly received a bill for ₹16,388. I was shocked because these additional charges had not been clearly explained to me during booking.

When I questioned the bill, I was simply told to refer to the quotation. I carefully checked the quotation and could not find the charges being explained the way they were being demanded.

My elder sister then spoke with Ajay to seek clarification. During that conversation, he became extremely rude and disrespectful, and threatened that if we did not pay the remaining amount within 15 minutes, our belongings would be destroyed and we would never get them back.

Out of fear of losing everything, we paid the remaining ₹11,588.

Even after paying:

* No GST details were provided.

* No tracking details were provided.

* Our goods were still not delivered.

For several more days we kept calling from multiple numbers. Every day there was another explanation for delay.

Finally, on 12 June, we were asked to pay another ₹5,000 before delivery.

At that point we refused because we believed we were being subjected to an ongoing scam.

So far we have:

* Filed a Zero FIR at Baran Police Station, which has been forwarded to Shakarpur Police Station.

* Contacted Delhi PCR.

* Filed a complaint with the Consumer Helpline.

Unfortunately, we still have not recovered our belongings or our money.

The total amount paid by us is ₹16,388, excluding the value of all the household items that are still missing.

This entire experience has caused significant financial loss and mental harassment for our family.

I'm posting this for two reasons:

  1. To warn others to thoroughly verify any Packers & Movers company before paying.

  2. To ask whether anyone has dealt with this company or this individual, or has any suggestions about additional legal remedies we should pursue.

If anyone has gone through something similar, I'd really appreciate your advice.

Received Notice Under Section 35(3) For Cyber Crime

Hello All,

I have received a notice from Cyber Crime Delhi regarding a disputed LIC transaction. I used to pay my LIC premium amount to a person on Telegram, and he would offer me a 5% or 10% discount.

I had been paying him for the past year, and my policy requires quarterly payments. This Telegram individual paid someone else and shared my policy details. That person then hacked someone's mobile and paid my policy amount. Consequently, I received the notice. I consulted a lawyer, who responded to it and sent all the required documents and a petition to the cyber police station. They agreed that I am also a victim and requested the details of the person to whom I paid the amount. My lawyer sent another petition with the required details.

Now I have received second notice via registered post and asking me to appear in person again. However, Delhi is far for me, and we requested video conferencing, but they are not accepting it and are asking me to come to Delhi. Initially, they said I was also a victim, and now they have sent two notices asking me to appear.

I have no connection to the person involved in the crime; I transferred my money via credit card to the Telegram person. Could you please help me with what I should do now or offer any suggestions? My policy amount is 15840 and I paid 14572 after discount.

Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

What should we do when we face the cyber crime? What should we do first ?

My parents got scammed and he transferred the 30k rs to the scammer .

The scammer called himself a relative of my brother-in-law and he believed it , after a while he realised that was a scam but it was too late to do anything.

We have also contacted the bank and reported the complaint via an online portal but it wouldn't work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated 👍🏻

My SBI account got frozen because of some cybercrime complaint, I have no idea what to do, please help

Guys I'm really scared right now and don't know what to do.

I use a p2p site sometimes to earn a little extra money, nothing big, no scheme or "double your money" stuff, just regular p2p trading.

This week I went to my SBI branch, as I had got a sms stating my account is frozen, and they told me my account is frozen because of a cybercrime complaint.

I don't understand any of this. I haven't knowingly done anything wrong, I was just using the p2p site normally.

Now I'm panicking because:

I don't know why exactly it got frozen or which complaint/FIR it's linked to

I don't know how long it will stay frozen or what the timeline usually looks like

I don't know if I'll get a legal notice or if police will contact me directly

I don't know if I need a lawyer or what the first step even is

Just to be clear, I'm not asking for any workaround or way to bypass this, I genuinely want to know the correct legal process to sort this out. If anyone has actually been through this same situation with SBI or any bank, please tell me what steps you took and how it eventually got resolved. Any real guidance would help a lot right now.

Very scared😭

PETITION TO THE CONCERNED GOVERNMENT AND JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES AND BANKS TO STOP DIGITAL CYBER MONEY ROBBERY COMPLETELY TECHNIQUE:-

Please read this file and if you feel it's right to develop please discuss with any bank manager to tell to discuss with their head branch of the bank and by them to Reserve Bank of India to implement this and if the all banks of india use the protocol application you can offer them to develop their application form your known company or your known institute and can gain huge amount of money and if you know other way to implement this please do; I just suggest you to do as a social work.

PETITION TO THE CONCERNED GOVERNMENT AND JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES AND BANKS TO STOP DIGITAL CYBER MONEY ROBBERY COMPLETELY TECHNIQUE:-

​FROM:

Name: Mrutyunjaya Panda

Mobile/WhatsApp: +91 7205576632

Email: mrutyunjaypanda1997@gmail.com

​SUBJECT: Formal Request to Mandate an Isolated Network and Common-Sense CAPTCHA Protocol to Completely Stop Digital Money Robbery.

​HON'BLE AUTHORITIES,

​To completely eradicate digital financial cybercrime, I respectfully petition the government to implement a mandatory, common-sense CAPTCHA verification system for all bank transactions, delivered directly from the debiting bank's server to the user’s registered mobile number.

​To ensure absolute security during this authorization window, telecom companies must temporarily restrict all foreign networks and external incoming signals to the device, permitting communication exclusively with the bank’s server until the correct CAPTCHA is forwarded or the user explicitly cancels the transaction.

​These multi-lingual, common-sense CAPTCHAs (for example: identifying whether a heavy stone, concrete, or light paper floats on water) will remain the standard security protocol unless a citizen formally opts out or chooses the traditional process at their registered home bank branch.

​PRAYER:

I kindly request the Hon'ble Court and relevant Government Ministries and Banks to review this secure transaction pattern and implement it as a national banking rule to protect citizens' wealth.

​Respectfully Submitted,

Mrutyunjaya Panda

[URGENT] Meesho Threatening Legal Action for an Undelivered Item

I don't know if it fits here or not, but please don't remove it, and provide me with some advice.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for legal advice regarding a dispute with Meesho Pay Later.

Timeline:

  • On 04/04/2026, I ordered a saree on Meesho using Meesho Pay Later.
  • The expected delivery date was 09/04/2026.
  • never received the product. No delivery executive contacted me, I did not receive any OTP request, call, or SMS from any delivery partner, and no one delivered the package to my address.
  • Despite this, the order was marked as "Delivered" in the Meesho app.

Since I never received the product, I did not make the payment because I genuinely believe I should not have to pay for something that was never delivered.

I later raised a complaint with Meesho, but they rejected it stating that I had not reported the issue within their prescribed time window, so they could not help me. (I have already filed a consumer complaint regarding this.)

Since then, I've been receiving frequent calls from multiple different numbers, claiming to be from Meesho or their recovery team. During these calls, they have repeatedly told me:

  • I have defaulted on payment.
  • My CIBIL score will be affected.
  • Charges/EMIs will continue to increase.
  • I should immediately clear the dues.

The calls have become extremely frequent and stressful. I feel like I'm being harassed for payment even though I never received the product in the first place.

Today, I received a WhatsApp message from the Meesho Pay Later Team containing what appears to be a legal demand notice issued through a law firm on behalf of their lending partner (Snapmint Financial Services Pvt. Ltd.). The notice demands payment of ₹415 within 48 hours and states that legal proceedings may be initiated if I fail to pay.

I have a few questions:

  1. Is this type of notice a standard recovery notice, or does it mean an actual court case has already been initiated?
  2. Since my dispute is that the product was never delivered, can they legally recover payment without proving delivery?
  3. Should I reply to this notice in writing?
  4. Can I ask them to provide proof of delivery (delivery photo, GPS location, signature, OTP logs, etc.)?
  5. Is there anything else I should do to protect myself while my consumer complaint is pending?

The amount involved is only ₹415, so this isn't about avoiding payment. My concern is that I am being asked to pay for a product that I never received, while simultaneously facing repeated recovery calls and now legal threats.

I have preserved the WhatsApp messages, the notice, and other relevant records.

Any advice from advocates or people who have dealt with similar consumer disputes would be greatly appreciated.

Should I be worried about my friend?

A friend of mine got cheated on by his girlfriend a few months ago. Since then he’s been smoking and drinking almost every day to deal with it. Today he smoked 7 cigarettes in a short period, came home, drank some juice, and now he’s convinced the juice is why his head feels weird. I don’t think the juice has anything to do with it, but I also don’t know if smoking that much at once can cause this or if it’s something more serious. What should I tell him? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Urgent help needed . I have been getting these shady messages in whastapp.

I was genuinely surprised when these messages started appearing out of nowhere because I have absolutely no involvement in whatever this is.

For some background, the phone number I'm currently using wasn't originally mine. Apparently, it previously belonged to a local rowdy/gangster who was arrested, and after the number was deactivated, I received it from my service provider.

When I first got the number, I even received calls from people asking me to return it. I explained that I had already linked it to my Aadhaar, bank accounts, UPI, and every other important service, so changing it wasn't practical. After that, the calls stopped.

However, every few weeks or so, I still receive random WhatsApp messages from unknown numbers. They usually don't introduce themselves or provide any context. The conversation almost always starts with a simple "Available?"

If I reply asking who they are, they'll either repeat "Available" or follow up with something like "Service available?" That's it. No explanation, no further messages, and they disappear after a while.

One recent conversation went like this (attached below )

At that point I warned them that I'd report the number if they continued sending such messages.

I'm guessing they're trying to contact the previous owner of this number, but I honestly have no idea what "service" they're referring to, and I don't want to find out either. Should i register a cyber complaint . I am not sure if the anonymous complaint will actually be anonymous . I dont want to get tied to some nonsense that someone else created for me . I actually emailed airtel helpline about this but i haven't heard back from them .

Friend Received Court Notice in a Cyber Fraud Case after Binance P2P transaction – Need Legal Advice

Hi everyone,

My friend is in a confusing legal situation and we’d appreciate any advice.

A while back, he used Binance P2P to sell crypto. After one of those transactions, his entire bank account was frozen because the funds were allegedly linked to a cyber fraud complaint.

When he first received the police notice, he fully cooperated with the Investigating Officer (IO). He shared:

* Complete Binance P2P transaction details
*Order ID
*Transaction history
*Payment proof
*Any other documents the IO requested

After verifying the documents, the IO unfroze his bank account, which suggested that the explanation was accepted. However, ₹4,000 remained blocked (lien marked) in the account, and the rest of the account became usable again.

Since then, he didn’t receive any further communication and assumed the matter was resolved.

Now, he has suddenly received a Court Appearance Notice from the Cyber Crime Police Station, Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, directing him to appear before the JMFC Court on 30 July 2026. The notice relates to the same case and mentions the disputed amount of ₹4,000.

Any advice from lawyers or people who have dealt with similar cyber crime/P2P cases would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

He happened to have her intimate photos and shared it to his friend. His friend (let's call him Martin) has been making fake profiles on Facebook, Instagram, reddit, and other websites and impersonating her and posting her photos on those websites in groups and pages along the lines of "looking for fun".

Is it normal for a major bank like SBI to map your personal mobile number to a stranger’s account for 4 YEARS?

Hey Reddit family,

​I am a 25-year-old student, and I am putting this up here to understand if this is standard practice or a massive data privacy breach by one of India’s largest public sector banks. I am honestly shaken by the absolute carelessness of State Bank of India (SBI).

​Here is exactly how I discovered this mess:

About 3 to 4 years ago, SBI's backend system made a ridiculous technical blunder and incorrectly mapped/linked my personal mobile number to another random person's bank account at a branch in Jammu.

​Back then, my phone was running a bit laggy, so for that quite obvious reason, I decided to factory reset the entire device. After formatting, I downloaded all my apps again and started setting up my UPI from scratch. Like most of us do, I was just fast-forwarding through the setup screens, tapping next/forward quickly to complete the activation. Since my own account was with SBI, I was 100% sure that since the mobile number is mine, the SBI account popping up has to be mine. Honestly, kaun dhyan deta hai bhai jab apna khud ka number ho link? You just assume it's your own account. So I completed the setup without doubting anything.

​Since it was just a student account, I wasn't tracking it heavily. But around that time, when I received a cashback / someone sent money to that linked number via UPI, the funds never showed up in my actual balance. When I investigated the transaction details, to my absolute horror, I realized that the account officially tied to my number belonged to a complete stranger (let's call him X)! For nearly 4 years, SBI had literally tied my identity and phone number to someone else's account without my knowledge.

​The Bank's Pathetic Response & Harassment:

I live very far away from my home branch, so I immediately called SBI Customer Care. They flatly refused to help over the phone and told me I must visit the branch in person.

​I managed to travel all the way and visited the branch. But as you all know how typical government bank culture is—first, it was their endless "Lunch Time", and when I finally spoke to them, they didn’t take this massive security issue seriously at all. They just said, "The officer who handles this specific department is not available right now. Come back later." I had to return home empty-handed because I had my classes to attend. I faced immense mental harassment while they kept dragging this out.

​Suddenly They Wake Up (With a Lame Excuse):

When I got tired of their excuses, I officially dragged them to the RBI Ombudsman. Guess what? Immediately after filing the RBI complaint, I received an official email from the Chief Manager. They finally "delinked" the number and literally admitted in writing that it was a technical error on the bank's part.

​But here is the catch—In that official email, the Chief Manager specifically mentioned that the stranger's account was "Inactive", as if trying to justify or downplay their massive blunder!

​The Ultimate Legal & Cyber Risk (Why their excuse is completely BS):

I want to understand, how does an "inactive account" clear the bank of its guilt? Even if the account was technically inactive, funding and transactions were still happening through it via UPI, just like my cashback/money got credited there!

​What if that account was being used by fraudsters for illegal funding, money laundering, or cyber scams? In India, cybercriminals heavily target mule and inactive accounts. Since my personal mobile number was officially mapped to that stranger's identity in SBI's live systems for years, I would have been the first person the police, income tax department, or cyber cell would arrest! My entire career, reputation, and future as a student could have been ruined instantly for a mistake I never made.

​I want to open this up for discussion:

1:​Is an "inactive account" a valid excuse for a nationalized bank like SBI when they literally compromise a student's data privacy for 4 years?

2:​Have any of you faced this "seat-shifting/officer not available" drama at SBI when reporting serious security flaws?

3:​I have already demanded compensation from the RBI Ombudsman for the severe risk and mental agony I faced. Do you think I should settle now that they've fixed the error, or should I fight till the end in Consumer Court (e-Jagriti)?

4:​As a student, my entire career and future were at stake here. If that stranger's account had been caught in any illegal funding or scam, how would I have proven my innocence to the cyber cell when the bank's system officially tied my number to it? Has anyone here dealt with such extreme legal risks due to bank negligence?

​Looking forward to your thoughts and legal advice on this. This needs to be a wake-up call for banking privacy in India
