How to Report Cybercrime and Online Fraud in Nepal

File your complaint with Nepal Police Cyber Bureau through its official channels, and bring your evidence. ScamCheck Nepal helps you organise your case and warn others, but it does not replace a police complaint.

Act quickly: preserve all evidence, do not delete messages, contact your bank or wallet provider at once, report to Nepal Police Cyber Bureau, and stop sending money to anyone who promises to "release" what you paid.

Investment and "Double Your Money" Scams in Nepal

Guaranteed high returns, pressure to recruit friends, and unclear business models are the hallmarks of investment fraud. If it promises large risk-free profit, treat it as unsafe until proven otherwise.

Fake Job and Foreign Employment Scams in Nepal

A genuine employer or licensed agency does not need you to pay before a job is confirmed in writing. Be careful of guaranteed visas, "processing fees" and offers that reach you only through chat apps.

Facebook Marketplace and Social Media Selling Scams in Nepal

Fake sellers on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok copy photos, create new pages quickly and push you to pay in advance. Check the page history and the seller's identifiers, and meet in person for anything of value.

Advance Payment Scams in Nepal: What They Are and How to Avoid Them

In an advance payment scam you are asked to pay first for goods, a job, a loan or a visa that never arrives. Avoid paying in advance to anyone you have not verified, and be suspicious of any new "fee" asked after you pay.

Online Shopping Scams in Nepal: How to Spot and Avoid Them

Typical signs: prices far below market, pressure to pay in advance, no way to inspect the item, and a seller who only communicates through chat. Check the seller first and pay in a protected way.

How to Check an eSewa, Khalti or IME Pay Wallet Before Paying

Search the wallet ID or the phone number linked to it. Wallet IDs are often phone numbers, so a phone search can also surface wallet reports. Confirm the name shown by the app before you confirm payment.

How to Check a Bank Account Before Paying in Nepal

Search the account number (spaces and hyphens do not matter) to see whether it appears in reported incidents, and compare the account holder name with the seller before you transfer.

How to Check a Phone Number Before Sending Money in Nepal

Search the number on ScamCheck Nepal in any format, read how many independent reports exist and whether evidence was reviewed, then verify the person independently. "No reports found" never means safe.

Frequently asked questions

How can I check a phone number before sending money in Nepal?

Type the number into the search box on the home page, in any format (98XXXXXXXX or +977...). You will see how many independent reports exist, in which categories, whether evidence was reviewed and whether the information is disputed. "No reports found" does not mean the number is safe, so still verify the seller independently and avoid paying in advance.

What should I do if I have already paid?

Keep every chat, screenshot and receipt and do not delete anything. Contact your bank or wallet provider immediately, report to Nepal Police Cyber Bureau, and submit an incident here so others can be warned.

How do I report online financial fraud in Nepal?

File a complaint through the official Nepal Police Cyber Bureau channel. You can also submit a report on this platform, but that does not replace a police complaint.

How can I preserve evidence?

Take full screenshots of the conversation, the profile or advertisement and the payment confirmation. Save URLs and transaction IDs, keep the original files unedited, and upload copies: every file receives a SHA-256 hash so it can later be shown that it has not changed.
