See since the most of the cause of the action is through phone and bank account then you can file a zero FIR at the local police station and the police on enquiry shall send the FIR to appropriate jurisdiction.

No you wont be in problem do not mention that you were hiring for physical relations you can claim that you hired for giving you company and spending time other masseuse services,

Firslty, it is the dating site so you have not done something which is not legal as they or you never talked about to a avail the sex services.

Secondly, you should go to police station of area specifically to their It department to file a complain under IT act.

Thirdly, along with that you should also file a consumer case against that site.

You have been thoroughly fooled/coned by some scamsters.

You should have woke up when you were taken for a big ride in the first time itself, whereas your anxiety made you to lose an equal amount.

Now all you have to do is to lodge a criminal complaint with the cyber crime police and seek relief because you do not know the company address hence you cannot file even recovery suit.
