I have been scammed by two people who said they work for book my show and duped me for 1 lac ruppee and sent me fake ed sheeran's concert tickets last month. They are not paying me my money telling they also got duped by someone else. They took the guarantee before taking the money that If you dont get the tickets they will return the money but they are now not returning. None of them work for book my show and pretended to be fake employees of Book My Show. What type of legal actions can I take? I have all the evidence in my whatsapp chat.
They both live in Mumbai and I live in Nadiad Gujarat. I am going to file an FIR as I am coming to mumbai next week. What should be the procedure ?
Hello,
Lodge a criminal complaint against them for cheating, fraud, misrepresentation, criminal breach of trust, criminal intimidation.
Write a complaint in a paper, you do not have to write sections, appropriate sections will be imposed by the police.
If police refuses to lodge an FIR then file a complaint with the magistrate u/s 156(3) of Cr.P.C. Let me know if I can be of any help.
Regards
The crime place is what? Is that in nadiad or Mumbai.
If you live in Nadiad you need to file FIR in Nadiad with you your local Police station under section 420 & 406.
In case you have any problem with the local police you may file a criminal complaint in the same sections with the judicial magistrate having jurisdiction in your police station with all the proof of payment.
