• Cheating

Two persons called Rohit and Karan approached me saying that the company called Om Globle International operating from the following address, B-1/54B, Sewak Park, Dwarka Mor Metro Station, Uttam Nagar New Delhi-59, Customer Care No. 09717584561, Office: +91-11-25334597 will lend unsecured loan to individuals and asked me to pay the initial payment of Rs.10,000/- towards processing fees. And once the application is sanctioned the loan will be disbursed within 15 days. After so many calls and negotiations, I arranged for visit to their above address to check their presence. After all this, I transferred Rs.10,000/- to their account No.3602304992, Acct with Central Bank of India, Uttam Nagar, New Delhi. After this, I was waiting for the disbursement. But after 20 days, they told me to pay another Rs.20,000/-. I did not pay this amount and asked them return my Rs.10,000/-. At this time, they told me to pay Rs.7,000/- for some endorsement from Divisional Magistrate or Chief Medical Officer of Government Hospital. Again after so much negotiations and promise from the above two persons, I transferred Rs.7,000/-. After three months their phones were switched off for a month. I was constantly calling up the numbers. Suddenly, last month the phones started working and they said that Karan met with an incident and Rohit fell ill and that was the reason they could not answer the calls. This time they told me that to release the loan I have to produce a Income Tax Clearance Certificate from my Ward/circle and they gave me a specimen. I visited the Income Tax office in Chennai and requested for the certificate. The Income Tax officer issued the certificate and I forwarded the same to these people. Now, they are saying this is not the certificate they want and the certificate is different. Now, I am sure that these people don't want to disburse the loan and simply cheating me with one or the other reason.  Now, it is almost 6 months, I told them that I do not want the loan and I need my money (Rs.17,000/-). It is now one week after I told them to return the money, they are not returning my money or attending to the calls. Please let me know what to do now to get my money back (Rs.17000/-)

You may issue them a legal notice for return of your money and if the y fail to do so within a week then you may go ahead and lodge an FIR against them for misrepresentation, fraud and cheating.

Send a Legal Notice to them for recovering your 17k.

If they don't to needful despite the notice, you approach the Consumer Forum or may file a summary suit for recovery. You may also lodge a FIR against these persons for cheating and defrauding you.

Hi

File a criminal complaint against them under section 420 IPC.

That would do the job.

Now regarding jurisdiction.

Chennai and Delhi have notable distance to cover and if we compare the amount to be recovered with the distance you will need to covered to contest the matter then you can easily think of your loss or profit. As the cheat is done with you in Delhi , the court procedures Will be carried out in Delhi only. Complaint can be filed in Chennai as Zero FIR but that will be transferred to Delhi .

Now the solution .. Hire a lawyer online who can file on your behalf and apply for your permanent exemption from the court.. This can be done but brother your amount is small and the litigation charges will be higher than that.

So it's on you to decide.

Thank you

There are plenty of such groups cheating various innocent people, it is for the public to be aware of the such fraudsters.

You have been cheated repeatedly which has not cautioned you.

For recovering this paltry amount of Rs. 17,000/- you may have to spend two to three times more than the amount being cheated, by running to Delhi, police and court etc.

Instead you can register an online complaint against the fraudster giving his details to the jurisdictional police station and request for action by sending the complaint copy by registered post also along with the evidences you rely upon.

You can issue a lawyer's notice to the company demanding to return the amount obtained from you, which may be honored or not, depending on the mood of the fraudsters because the distance is the factor advantage to them.

Can I make police complaint? If yes, I am in Chennai and how can I lodge the complaint in New Delhi staying from Chennai?

As suggested earlier, you may register an online complaint with the concerned police and follow it up by sending the copy of the complaint by registered post too to the police.

I received SMS from these people (even now they are sending these types of SMS to all, I can forward the message if I have your contact number). I have lot of emails. Can I forward them? If yes, to which email ID.

You can choose a particular lawyer of this forum and consult with them separately and engage their services on their terms instead of giving a general call in this platform used by various legal experts at a time.
