So, I had a random text to one of my numbers. It was a female asking do you remember me…bla bla. Of course I instantly recognized it as a scam. She said she had no money to pay for rent and Smshe and her kids would be in the streets. Anyway, I tried to get PayPal info which she backed out of. She asked for Bitcoin which I told her I couldn’t do. To make a long story short, she wound up giving me a bank account to a bank in India. The bank is in Mumbai. I made a fake text chat with my fake bank basically saying because there was so much fraud in India, she would have to pick it up in person, and show a government ID. After a long pause, and her asking multiple times if she was going to get in trouble, if I was a cop, etc. She sent me an Indian ID for a male, saying it was her friend. So, I have a bank name, actual bank account, and a photo of a government ID from India. Not sure where to go from here. Anyone have any ideas what I can do with this? I have told her that it would take three business days for the money to be in the bank. So that buys me until Tuesday. Anyone have any ideas?
First use Grabify link to get her location.
Contact Mumbai city Cyber Crime police unit. If you need assistance about grabify, let me know.
Is the bank named “Bank of Baroda”?
I know some people at Indian police, I’ll check with them to see what can be done. Good work btw 
I have the location of a scammer, full name, and bunch of chat logs communicating with me thinking I’m another scammer trying to buy scam popups etc. from me. Could you forward it to Indian police? The Kolkata police website doesn’t work.
Grabify is too risky for this situation.
It’s Induslnd Bank, Mumbai and I have the account number as well.
They also sent me his India government photo ID.

Also be in touch with @NeeP
NeeP & I sent each other PMs.
Now, this scam was all over text messages. I don’t think I can get an IP that way, right, doc?
She did a video call and I have a screenshot of her face, but no other info about her.
If you get a photo of an object or person, we can extract EXIF (meta data) which likely has location
Yes, but only if they took it with their phone camera, and nothing removed the metadata (and something often does).
This is where you guys excel. I’m definitely not a computer person. Not at a level even close to you guys.
