Subject: Bona fide P2P trade — FIR/CIR no. ________ — Account ________

Sir/Madam,

I am writing in connection with FIR/CIR number ________ on which my bank account ____________ has been lien-marked. The credit of ₹________ on DD-MM-2026 was the consideration for a legitimate sale of USDT executed on FastXP2P (Trade ID #________).

Enclosed: (a) KYC, (b) FastXP2P trade history, (c) UPI screenshot with UTR, (d) my bank statement entry.

I had no prior or off-platform contact with the originating depositor and no knowledge of the alleged predicate offense. I respectfully request closure of any lien against my account.

Cyber cell emails (India, 2026)

• Maharashtra: cybercell.mum@mahapolice.gov.in
• Telangana: cp-cyb-hyd@tspolice.gov.in
• Delhi: cybercell-east-dl@nic.in
• Karnataka: ccps@ksp.gov.in
• Tamil Nadu: cybercrime-tn@nic.in

Mistakes to avoid

• Don't open new accounts in a panic — looks like evasion.
• Don't post details publicly on Reddit/X — preserve confidentiality.
• Don't approach the originating depositor directly.
• Don't agree to "settle privately" — could turn into extortion.
