Warning Signs

How this usually looks in the real world

  • The app was installed during fake support, refund, banking, or KYC pressure.
  • The scammer may have watched or controlled login, OTP, or payment actions in real time.
  • Money, access, OTPs, documents, or device control may already be exposed.
  • The scammer is promising to reverse the loss if you wait or send one more amount.
Action Order

What to do next in the right sequence

  • Assume the attacker may have seen more than one password or payment step during the session.
  • Secure sensitive accounts from a safe device and contact the bank if financial apps were opened during the remote-access session.
  • Secure the bank, wallet, account, or platform that was affected before chasing the scammer.
  • Dial 1930 quickly for active financial fraud and keep the amount, time, and suspect details ready.
  • File on cybercrime.gov.in and keep the summary, amount, and timing consistent across every report.

Evidence that helps the case later

FAQ

Quick answers people still ask

What should I verify first?

Verify outside the same chat, call, or link that created the urgency. Open the official app, website, or support route yourself.

What if I already shared money, OTP, or documents?

Treat the case as active harm. Move quickly into the bank, platform, 1930, and official complaint route that fits the case.

Which ScamScan page should I open next?

Open recovery guide if you still need a structured review. If the case is already urgent, switch straight to emergency help.

When should I stop reading and act now?

Stop reading and move fast if money is already gone, an account is hacked, OTP was shared, or documents were sent.
