Cyber Crime
Online Scam
An online scam is any deception on the internet that tricks you into paying money or sharing details, such as fake job offers, investment or trading schemes, lottery messages, or bogus shopping sites. A verified advocate can help you gather and preserve the evidence, file a police or cyber-cell complaint, and pursue the scammer through the right legal channels. They can also advise you on steps to limit further loss and on your options for recovering what you paid.
