Now you can report such matters at Helpline Number – 155260 09:00 AM To 06:00 PM, this is the Indian cyber crime toll-free number to report online frauds.

Online watchdogs say that mostly these frauds are run by Nigerians and the frequency have increased with every passing moment.
Recently I received an email from a close friend, asking for urgent help in terms of lending some money because he has lost everything during a foreign trip. Now in-order to get back to India, he was asking for a small favour to deposit some money at some international bank account. After reading this email, I became worried & called him. He replies were that his email account was hacked and many of his friends have received similar emails & there is no need to get worried and everything is fine. Maybe you have received a similar email in the past. A word of caution, before replying to such email, try calling your friend to know more about the authenticity of such email.
The toll-free number is not working on some mobile operators, try calling from different operator.

I have called to 155260 and they are saying it is CBCID office and not cyber crime and they disconnected the call. Kindly verify the number.
Preeti Lall says
They said they are calling from bsnl office and want do reprocess the kyc process for one of our bsnl num, so he messaged a url link which lead us to a form to fillup the necessary info.
And at the end they requested upi pin. He kept on insisting on providing by keeping the call under constant stress of providing details. This is the numer +918343935989, it is registered from west bengal as it shows on Truecaller. When I denied him to fill in the upi pin he started talking very abusively. It is a shame on our system when we are unable to do anything even after knowing what has happened. I have tried contacting on a lot of numbers but nothing works. Im sure ap log bhi kuch nai karoge. Im writing all this in a vague hope of help.
