Cyber Crime

Ek loan app mujhe harass kar raha hai aur mere contacts ko call kar raha hai.

Simple answer

Ye allowed nahi hai. RBI rules lenders aur unke agents ko dhamkane ya badnaam karne se rokte hain, aur legal loan apps aapke contacts access nahi kar sakte. Dhamki aur morphed photos bhi crime hain. 1930 ya police mein complaint karo — par asli loan chukana hi padega.

Real-life examples

Imran ne ek instant loan app se ₹5,000 liye. Ek hafte baad app ne ₹12,000 maange aur uski morphed photos uske contacts ko bhej di. Ye app RBI ki loan app directory mein nahi tha. Imran ne messages save kiye, cyber crime portal aur RBI ke Sachet portal par complaint ki, aur contacts ko alert kiya.

Kavya ki RBI-registered NBFC ke app se liye loan ki ek EMI miss ho gayi. Lender use payment yaad dila sakta hai, lekin uske agents na dhamka sakte hain, na subah 8 baje se pehle ya shaam 7 baje ke baad call kar sakte hain. Kavya ne pehle company ke grievance officer se, phir RBI Ombudsman se complaint ki.

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

  1. 1Ghabrao mat, aur anjaan UPI IDs par extra paise mat bhejo. Dhamkiyon, call recordings aur contacts ko bheje gaye messages ke screenshots rakho.
  2. 2RBI ki website par Digital Lending Apps directory check karo, aur loan papers mein kis bank ya NBFC ka naam hai, ye dekho.
  3. 3Regulated lender ho toh uske grievance officer se complaint karo. 30 din mein solve na ho toh cms.rbi.org.in par RBI Ombudsman se complaint karo.
  4. 4Dhamki, gaali ya morphed photos ke liye cybercrime.gov.in par complaint karo ya 1930 par call karo, aur police complaint do.
  5. 5Contacts ko batao ki ye messages harassment hain. Saboot save karne ke baad app ki phone permissions hata do.
  6. 6Bahut stress ho raha hai? Tele-MANAS 14416 par call karo — free aur confidential.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein

  • Law aapko harassment se bachata hai, loan se nahi. Asli loan agreement ke hisaab se chukana hoga; aap lender se aur time maang sakte ho.
  • Jo apps kisi RBI-regulated lender se jude nahi hain, woh RBI rules se bahar hain, isliye RBI Ombudsman help nahi kar sakta. Unki dhamkiyan phir bhi crime hain — police aur cyber crime portal par jao.
