Online Fraud: How soon should you file a complaint in case of online fraud, you will not get the benefit of golden hour if…..

Every day people are losing their savings due to online fraud. Some are getting trapped in OTP fraud, while some are suffering losses due to a photo being downloaded by mistake. Many people make mistakes after being cheated. They hide the matter. They do not share it with anyone. When the problem increases and they have to report the fraud, they go to the police and get a complaint written. The truth is that if you delay too much, the opportunity is lost, in the money lost in online fraud could have been saved. There is a golden hour for this. There is also a time limit in it, in which a complaint should be made. A police officer has told me about this golden hour. According to him, if the police get information immediately after the online fraud, then the victim's money can be saved.

What is Golden Hour

This has been told on MirchiRJAditya Instagram handle. In the video, the Police Commissioner is talking about the Golden Hour. Whenever there is a financial fraud. Like any fraud in the name of a job, any fraud by digital arrest. Golden hour plays an important role in this type of fraud. As soon as someone feels that he has been cheated, he should immediately call the cyber crime reporting portal number 1930 and immediately reach the nearest police station.

How soon should the complaint be made?

In another Insta video, the police officer said that if the crime happened at 3 o'clock, then the complaint should be made at 3:05 on 1930. By this, the victim's account can be frozen till 3:20 and his money can be saved. That is, the person should make a complaint over the phone in 5 minutes.

How does the police work in the golden hour?
The video shows that if the police get the golden hour, they can stop the fraudulent money from going to another account. The victim's account can be frozen. According to the police, cyber criminals transfer any amount to many accounts and create a layer of money transfers. For example, the money from a fraud in Delhi reaches Kerala via Mumbai, and Pune in a short time. When the money is transferred in many layers, it becomes difficult for the police to recover the money. If the police get the golden hour, they can try to bring back the money.

It will not be beneficial if…
The police officer said that as soon as people feel that fraud has happened or money has been withdrawn from the account, they should immediately call 1930 without hesitation and reach the police station. The sooner people tell the police, the more time the police will get to freeze the account. Even a single day's delay in this work can prove costly and the victim can lose his entire money.
