Reporting and getting help — Cyber safety for kids

When something goes wrong online, you are never in trouble for asking for help. Tell a trusted adult first. Keep the evidence — screenshots, dates, times, numbers and payment details. Block the account and report it with the app’s or site’s report button. For cyber crime or online money fraud, an adult can call the national cyber crime helpline 1930 (as quickly as possible) and file a complaint on the official cyber crime reporting portal.

  3. Money lost to an online fraud: call the national cyber crime helpline 1930 right away; crimes can also be reported on the official cyber crime reporting portal.

Worked example: ☎️ What is India’s national cyber crime helpline number? → 1930
