You can contact the Cyber Crime Cell of the police in the jurisdiction where you reside or where the scam originated. Additionally, you can file a complaint with the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.

I consulted a tantrik for a personal issue and paid him a fee. He didn’t deliver on his promises and demanded more money. When I refused and posted a negative review online, he threatened to involve the police and sue me for defamation. I don’t want any legal trouble. Can he actually sue me for writing a review, or is it a valid way to warn others about his services?

I bought two plots in Bhiwadi through a real estate agent, paying in cash. I later discovered the project was a scam, likely a partnership between the agent and the builder. They provided fake receipts, and when I questioned this, the agent issued refund checks and took back my originals. The checks bounced, and now the agent is gone. The person who gave me the fake receipts is still operating in Bhiwadi. I have copies of the receipts and the plot allotment letter. We were supposed to sign an agreement after I paid 40% of the amount, which I did. But now I have neither an agreement nor my original receipts. How can I recover my money from these people?

My Lenovo phone, bought from Flipkart just three months ago, suddenly developed a touch screen issue last week. I took it to the Shakar Pur service centre, hoping for a quick fix under warranty. But they claimed the phone’s seal was broken, meaning it wasn’t eligible for warranty! I was baffled, as I’d never opened the phone or taken it for repairs elsewhere. I questioned them, saying why would I risk voiding the warranty when it was still active? The seal they mentioned was just a tiny paper sticker.

My flat was booked in March 2010, with promised possession in December 2012. The agreement mentioned December 2013 as a buffer date, but now it’s December 2015 and the builder still hasn’t received the Occupancy Certificate. I’m stuck paying rent on a separate flat, incurring extra costs due to the delay. What legal steps can I take to claim compensation for this? What are my consumer rights in this situation, and how much compensation am I entitled to?

Hi, I recently booked a flat in Panvel through a company. I cancelled the booking and sent them an email, but now they’re asking for the original receipt of the payment I made. Is it okay to give them the original receipt? It’s the only proof I have, and they haven’t been very helpful about refunding my money.

Previous Article We booked office space in Gurgaon, part of a larger project including retail, offices, and a luxury hotel. The project is delayed, and though we received compensation, it’s not enough. The project isn’t fully functional, just partially built, and they pressured us to take possession. We did, to protect our investment, but can’t lease because the rest of the project isn’t ready. Can we demand more compensation? We signed an indemnity bond, but wrote in a letter that we took possession under protest. What should we do?
