Right after a scam

  1. Call 1930 and your bank's official number (printed on your card). Ask the bank to block the card or UPI.
  2. Do not delete the chat. Take screenshots of the messages, the sender's number and payment receipts. In Namaskara, a stranger's first messages cannot be set to disappear for exactly this reason.
  3. Report and block the sender inside Namaskara. Three reports from different people restrict their account.
  4. Change passwords for any account you shared, and turn on two-step verification.
  5. File online at cybercrime.gov.in and note your acknowledgement number.
Namaskara can prepare a report draft for you inside the app (Safety tab), but it never files anything with any authority on your behalf. You stay in control.
