Mumbai Cyber Helpline 1930 Helps Save INR 100 Crore in Online Fraud Cases

Mumbai Cyber Police has successfully prevented online fraud losses worth nearly INR 100 crore through the national cybercrime helpline number 1930. The helpline has played a major role in helping victims report fraud quickly and freeze suspicious bank accounts before money is withdrawn by cybercriminals.

According to officials, thousands of complaints related to online scams, fake investment schemes, digital arrests, OTP frauds, and phishing attacks have been received through the helpline. Immediate coordination between cyber police, banks, and financial institutions has helped authorities stop large amounts of money from being transferred.

Police said quick reporting by victims is critical in cybercrime cases, as delays often make recovery difficult. Once a complaint is registered on 1930, efforts are immediately made to trace and temporarily freeze the bank accounts linked to fraudulent transactions.

Officials also revealed that several bank accounts connected to cyber fraud networks have been frozen during these operations. The cyber department has urged citizens to remain alert while sharing banking details, clicking unknown links, or responding to suspicious calls and messages.

Authorities have advised people to immediately contact helpline 1930 or report complaints through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal if they become victims of online fraud.
