Cyber complaint filing: fake IDs, blackmail, leaked images and hacked accounts
A fake profile with your photos, a threat to post private pictures, an account hacked and used against your family. The first hour matters: what you save and what you do not do. We preserve the evidence properly, report to the platform, file the complaint with the right police unit or the Cyber Tribunal, and follow it until the account is down and the offender is identified.
Is this you?
- Someone made a fake Facebook, Instagram or TikTok account in your name or with your photos
- You are being blackmailed with private pictures or videos
- Your account, email or bKash was hacked and used to cheat your contacts
- Intimate images were shared without your consent, or a woman or child in your family is being harassed online
- You reported to the platform and nothing happened, or the police station turned you away
What we do for you
Preserving evidence that will stand up
Screenshots with date and time visible, the profile URL (not just the name, which can change), screen recordings of the chat, and every phone, bKash, Nagad number or email used by the offender, saved to a second device before you block or report. We prepare an evidence bundle in the form investigators ask for.
Platform reporting and takedown
We file impersonation, harassment and non-consensual-image reports with the platform, handle the identity verification it asks for, and escalate where the first report fails. Takedown removes content; it does not punish the offender, so it runs alongside the complaint, not instead of it.
The right complaint, with the right unit
For women and girls, Police Cyber Support for Women (PCSW) at Police Headquarters, hotline 01320000888, handles complaints confidentially with women officers. Otherwise a GD or case at the local police station, or the CID Cyber Police Centre or DMP Cyber Crime Investigation Division for hacking and technical tracing. If the police will not register a case, we petition the Cyber Tribunal directly.
Blackmail and sextortion
Paying almost never ends it; it proves you will pay again. We stop the contact, secure the evidence, and move the complaint the same day. Under the Cyber Protection Act 2026, sexual harassment, sextortion and publishing intimate content are offences with heavier punishment where the victim is a woman or child, and AI-generated content is expressly covered. Section 8 of the Pornography Control Act 2012 adds up to five years and a fine of up to Tk 2 lakh for using sexual images to harm or blackmail.
Following the investigation
We keep in touch with the investigating officer, supply what is asked for, and press for identification of the account holder through the platform and the mobile operator. Where the offender is known, we also send a legal notice and pursue the case in the Tribunal.
If you are the one accused
Cyber complaints are also misused in personal and business disputes. If a case has been filed against you, do not delete anything without advice; we assess the complaint, plan bail and defend the case.
Fees, time and documents
What we need from you
- Screenshots of the profile, posts, messages and comments with date and time visible
- The profile link (URL) of the fake or abusive account, and the links to the offending posts
- Screen recordings scrolling through the chat where possible
- Any phone, bKash, Nagad numbers or email addresses the person used, and transaction records if money was paid
- Your NID and, for impersonation, a photo of you holding your ID for the platform's verification
- Copies of all of this on a second device or cloud storage before anything is blocked or reported
Mistakes we see every week
- Paying the blackmailer once “to make it stop”. It never does.
- Deleting the chat or blocking the account before saving the evidence and the URL.
- Reporting only to the platform and assuming the police will be informed. They are not.
- Confronting the offender or their family, which warns them to destroy evidence.
- Waiting weeks. Platform logs and operator records are easier to obtain when the complaint is fresh.

Common questions
How do I report a fake Facebook account to the cyber crime unit in Bangladesh?
Save the profile URL and screenshots with timestamps, report the account to Facebook as impersonation, then file a GD or complaint at your police station, with the CID Cyber Police Centre, or for women and girls with Police Cyber Support for Women (hotline 01320000888). If the police do not register a case, a petition can be filed in the Cyber Tribunal. We prepare and file all of this for you.
Is making a fake ID a crime in Bangladesh?
Yes. Impersonation, online fraud using a false identity, sexual harassment, sextortion and publishing intimate content are offences under the Cyber Protection Act 2026, with heavier punishment where the victim is a woman or a child. Blackmail with sexual images is also an offence under section 8 of the Pornography Control Act 2012.
Someone is blackmailing me with my photos. Should I pay?
No. Paying proves you will pay again and the demands increase. Stop replying, save everything, and contact PCSW or us the same day. The offence is serious and investigators take it seriously.
Can a friend or parent complain on my behalf?
For harassment-type offences, only the person affected or someone acting for them can complain. A parent can complain for a child, and we can act for you on your instructions.
How long does it take to take a fake account down?
Platform takedowns commonly take from a few days to two weeks once identity verification is done. Police identification of the offender takes longer and depends on the platform and mobile operator responses.
Which law applies now, the Cyber Security Act or the Cyber Protection Act?
The current law is the Cyber Protection Act 2026 (passed as the Cyber Security Act 2026 and amended in June 2026). A further draft amendment published in September 2026 is not yet law. See our legal update for what has and has not changed.
What if the police station refuses to take my complaint?
Ask for a GD at minimum. If a case is refused, we petition the Cyber Tribunal directly with the evidence bundle.
A cyber case has been filed against me. What should I do?
Do not delete posts or accounts without advice; that can look like destroying evidence. Send us the complaint and we will plan bail and the defence. Cyber complaints are often misused in disputes and can be challenged.
Fees are confirmed in writing before any work begins. Government fees and court fees are separate and receipted.
