1930 How to report a fraud
Is this a fraud? Solved

Caller said he is from the bank's 'cyber cell' and offered to reverse my transaction

Started 28 September 2026

This came a day after I filed a complaint. He knew the amount I lost and the date. He wanted me to install an app so he could 'process the reversal'.

This is the second-stage fraud that targets people who have already been defrauded. Knowing your amount and date means your complaint details leaked or he simply guessed from a list. No bank cyber cell calls you, and no reversal requires an app on your phone. Do not install anything.

I got the same call. He became aggressive when I said I would call the branch to confirm. That reaction is the tell.
