Scam & Fraud Law Awareness

প্রতারণা আইন সচেতনতা

Financial deception online is prosecuted under both general criminal law and specific cyber provisions.

What to understand

  • Taking money by deception is an offence regardless of the channel used.
  • Money-mule activity — lending your account or wallet to a stranger — can make you a suspect.
  • Cross-border scams are harder to pursue, which makes prevention and fast reporting decisive.

What you can lawfully do

  • Report to the bank or wallet provider first, within hours if possible.
  • Preserve transaction references before you close any chat.
