Registering a cybercrime complaint with the cyber cell of the police in India (or other regions with similar mechanisms) involves a systematic approach. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Before filing a complaint, gather all the evidence related to the cybercrime. This may include:
- Screenshots of the fraudulent messages, emails, or websites.
- Details of transactions (bank statements, UPI details, etc.).
- URLs, IP addresses, or any other technical information.
- Copies of chats or call records, if relevant.
2. Determine Jurisdiction
- Cybercrime complaints can usually be filed regardless of the complainant’s location.
- Most countries allow victims to file complaints in their jurisdiction, even if the crime originated elsewhere.
3. Visit the Cyber Crime Portal
In India:
