📋 How to File a Cyber Crime Complaint in India
- 1Collect all evidence first — screenshots, transaction IDs, bank statements, email headers, URLs, chat logs. The more you have, the stronger your case.
- 2For financial fraud — call 1930 immediately. This hotline can coordinate with banks to freeze fraudulent transactions. Time is critical.
- 3Go to cybercrime.gov.in → Report Cyber Crime → File a complaint. Select the appropriate category. You'll receive an acknowledgement number.
- 4For organisation-level incidents: email incident@cert-in.org.in or call CERT-In at 1800-11-4949 (toll-free).
- 5You can also file an FIR at your nearest police station. Ask for the cyber crime officer. Bring printed copies of all your evidence.
- 6For Maharashtra specifically: use mahapolice.gov.in for online FIR. Most other states have similar portals — search "online FIR + your state."
⚠️ Spotted a Fake Government Message? (dotgoi / GOI Scams)
A large number of Indians search for "dotgoi" or similar terms after receiving suspicious SMS messages claiming to be from the Government of India. These are almost always phishing scams.
🚩 Fake GOI / dotgoi SMS
Messages from "GOI" asking you to update KYC, claim a reward, or verify your Aadhaar via a link. These are phishing — do NOT click.
🚩 Fake TRAI / Telecom Notices
Calls or SMS claiming your number will be disconnected unless you "verify." Real TRAI notices never threaten immediate disconnection.
🚩 Fake Income Tax Refund
Messages claiming you have a pending IT refund and need to enter bank details. The real IT refund portal is incometax.gov.in only.
🚩 Fake Digital Arrest Calls
Callers impersonating CBI/police claiming you're under "digital arrest." This is not a real concept. Hang up and report to 1930.
What to do: Do not click any links. Forward suspicious SMS to 1909 (TRAI spam reporting). Report at cybercrime.gov.in. Real government communications will never ask for OTPs, passwords, or immediate payments via link.
🏥 For Hospitals, NGOs and Schools in India
India's healthcare and NGO sectors face over 60,500 cybercrime searches monthly — and most organisations have no IT team to respond. Teradef provides free, AI-powered incident response guidance available 24/7.
