Where do I report crypto or online investment fraud?
Last reviewed: 15 October 2026
Short answer
File a general diary (GD) or case at your local police station and inform the police cyber units, such as the CID's Cyber Police Centre. Keep all evidence, and never pay "recovery" offers.
Full answer
What to keep:
- The platform, app or website name and link
- All receipts, transaction IDs and wallet addresses
- Phone numbers, Telegram/WhatsApp IDs and chat screenshots
- Who approached you, when and how
Where to report:
- Your local police station (GD or case)
- The CID Cyber Police Centre
- The national emergency service 999 in an emergency
Beware: after you report, someone may pose as a "hacker" or "agent" offering to recover your money for a fee. That is a second scam. See recovery scams.
