Friend who stays in tier 3 city has SB account in Federal Bank and did 4 transactions (40000 Credit transactions and 40000 Debit transactions) on 7th November. His account was all of a sudden frozen by branch. Branch Manager says it had to do with transactions made on 7th November. We didn't believe him and friend has received the letter today (picture link below).
Its done by Cyber Police indeed. But not sure what they had to do with these transactions as transactions were done between my friend and his friends in his town. Please advise what may be the reason for these action by Police and what can my friend do to get his account back?
- Sort By
It is clearly written in the notice. There are credits to the account and provide the source for those credits. If they are not related to terrorism, Human trafficking, drugs and any other illegal source then they will reinstate the account.
And It isn't just federal, many banks (NiyoX, Fi/Jupiter through federal..) started doing the same (Debit/Credit freeze when their system noticed unusual number of transactions)for the past year or two

How do you confirm it is fake notice? Bank manager confirmed it was sent by them and Complaint number is matching.
Also my friend doesn't have any neo banks or apps. It is normal SB account opened through branch with minimal transactions.
may be one of the friend who got the credits are illegal. Illegal might be any reasons.
Last time i heard that a man was jailed as chortel pointed out the wrong IP address to police https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/mumbai/othe...
for banking product its rule of thumb to keep it multiple as there will be service issue due to maintenance and other bullsit
why not ask for copy of FIR or original notice from the police

Recently some Federal bank accounts were found involved with gaming app scam and raids conducted at many places in India, recovered cash worth ~30cr. under bed , multiple fraud activity and organized racket arrested. Have been seeing such things on regional TV news since a few months.
Seems they have tightened fraud management and this is the result. Professional Money rotators should feel the heat soon I guess... Never like money rotation personally.
This type of cases are quite commen nowadays..
normally when someone files a complaint regarding scam to cyber police, they ask bank to freeze that account..
so first, clearly ask the other party wheather he complained or not..
also.. there is new kind of scam happening.. where someone send you some money and then complain to cyber police for fraud or scam against that transaction.. then your account will freeze and all your money will stuck..
then you approch the bank.. but here is thing, bank will say they can't do anything untill cyberpolice give instruction to unblock..
now scammer will ask you for money to withdrawl the complaint..
Conclusion - don't use primary bank account for day to day transaction, nowadays everyone has 2-3 accounts.. so use secondary accounts
@Santhu4444 I see that someone here claimed the notice you received to be fake without even giving a single evidence. It is exactly this reason why you shouldn't listen blindly to anybody's advice(incl mine) whether in real life or online when it involves such serious matter. There is a mobile no. given in the letter which you edited out so call that number for clarification as well as scan the letter & send its pic to the mentioned email address in letter for clarification.
Federal Bank is like this only, I have said in the past a lot of times, the local branch person will call you if they see multiple txn or multiple txn attempts. I once had credits of 10x100rs. Got a call asking about the reason and nature of txn from the local branch.
I explained to her saying there is some UPI contest. Since then I reduced the account usage. But whenever I used more than 1 txn a day or made txn attempts got a call from the local branch asking for a reason. I asked sarcastically many times what is the point of having the account if one can not do txn. Seems I will have to stop asking else they may send a notice like OP.
BTW, in the past, here in DD, one federal officer visited someone's home to verify multiple txns. (In 2017 I guess)
You should. Fi/Federal already started sending bulk fake complaints to users (bank accounts debit/credit frozen months back)
My Kotak bank account has been Freeze, when i visited Branch they said it has been done by Gujrat Cyber Crime, Branch has told me that some one from Gujrat has complaint against my account so Cyber crime has Freeze my account without letting me, and my money stuck in account , I am not getting any help from Bank , they said they cant do anything , I have mailed to Gujrat cyber but not getting any response , Please help any one.
Take the letter from Bank as a proof to show them.
Can anyone please help me how many day will take time to resolve the issue?
I am not getting response , what should i do now.
Nobody able to help except enquiry officer .
Otherwise contact a criminal lawyer in your town and take advice from him . He can handle paer works on behalf of you.
This is not the solution, every person can not hire lawyer, From where do i get contact number of Enquiry officer? The number is provided by the bank is False number .
You mean my another account also can be Freeze???????????????
No no no.
I’m saying use other account for transactions for the meanwhile.
Sooner or later, they’ll unfreeze your account. Don’t worry much, just keep constant communication with the authorities.
Ok ok,.. got your point. 😔
same here, i am not getting any help neither bank or cyber cell of Gujrat, called multiple times , email they are not even replaying of my email, nor replied on call, i have been facing from 17th of January and the situation is same. what should i do now?
Cyber is mailing one mail multiple times that's mean they are not even check mail , how can we expect that they will resolve the issue?
lodge complaint with pg-portal
You guys are unnecessarily blaming cops according to cyber crime systems they follow money trail and freeze account where money is gone you approach your friend and ask his statement and present his statement to bank if he denies he must have done something nasty
