In case of a cyber fraud, you'll have to first file an FIR in your nearest police station following which you'll be sent to the cyber crime cell to explain your situation and provide the authorities with the relevant information like, the fraudsters phone number, email id, etc. The cyber cell will then try to track the person's location usually, if the location is with in their jurisdiction, they try their best to get a hold of the fraudsters but if the fraudster is in a different state or country wich is not under that police station's jurisdiction then the chances of the fraudster getting caught become less, especially, if the sum of amount extracted by them is not a big amout, say 1k-5k.
The cyber cell spreads information about the different ways of frauds by handing out phamplets or publishing the relevant cases in the newspaper.
Thank you!
