In reply to cheating me with the mails and grabbed nearly one lakh by an sou by venkata satyan… (not verified)
Hi,
thanks for sharing your experiences of being victim of email fraud.
Unfortunately, this is quite common cybercrime across the world and
people are very often unclear about who to turn to when it comes to
being cheated online. In many case, as for example documented in the
article “Dealing with fraud and internet "love": women and cybercrime in
Burkina Faso” , national laws addressing online fraud are tentative or
non-existent, and police and lawyers are unaware how to properly grasp
these new problems. However GenderIT is not the proper venue for
reporting and follow-up on this case. The website is run by non-profit
non-governmental organization, and we are not empowered to investigate
fraud cases or take legal action. Our role is to monitor and analyse
the internet related policies from gender and communication rights
perspective. This sort of fraud should be dealt with your local police,
the bank, or another local organisations that is working in this area in
your locality. You may also try to contact Cyberlaws.Net
(http://cyberlaws.net/), which provides consultation on varied subjects
concerning the laws of the Internet.
