NRIs are a specific target for two kinds of cyber fraud: investment scams that use an NRI's distance and unfamiliarity with current Indian procedure against them, and matrimonial-site or relationship fraud aimed specifically at NRIs looking to marry or invest back home. As NRI cyber fraud lawyer, we pursue both the same way any cyber crime is pursued — but the cross-border money trail changes the strategy.
What we handle
- Investment and trading fraud where funds were remitted from abroad into an Indian account later found to be part of a fraud network — see cheating and fraud
- Matrimonial and relationship fraud targeting NRIs — false profiles, demands for money before a planned marriage or visit, and the FIRs and recovery action that follow
- Recovery of funds sent to a fraudulent account, including cases where the account is now frozen and the difficulty is proving your claim to the funds — see frozen bank account release
- Job and property fraud aimed at NRIs planning to relocate or invest, where advance payments were taken against a property or job offer that didn't exist
- FIRs filed by an NRI victim who is not in India to follow up in person
- Defending an NRI wrongly named in a fraud complaint because funds passed through their account or business
Filing and following up without being in India
A complaint can be filed on the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (1930 / cybercrime.gov.in) from anywhere, but the follow-up — pushing the investigating officer, moving an application before the Magistrate, tracing where funds moved next — needs someone physically able to do that in Gurugram. We handle that follow-up directly, and send you updates rather than expect you to chase.
