Cyber Crime Cell, Navi Mumbai — Caught into fraud case through mselling bed on OLX platform

Website:Olx

Posted item(Bed) on OLX to sell on 2nd April 2022. One of customer called me to buy this item. He told me that he has a merchant account so you need to scan bar code to receive money to account. I denied to scan the bar code initially. Then he sent me a barcode of Rs. 1 to assure me that no fraud was taking place, & the amount of Rs. 1 was credited to my account after scanning. Then I scanned bar Code of Rs.5500, this amount was debited from my account, again he told me you scanned wrongly that amount is under merchant machine and this can be hold for long time please scan the barcode again of Rs 5500 and amount will return to your account, I scanned to take my money to account but instead of credit it was debited from my account again. This way he misguided me again and he told me he has received my money of Rs 11000 to his account, then he told me that he will transfer Rs11000 which he received to my account. This time he told me that he had transferred the amount of Rs. 9999 directly to my account, through merchant account and to confirm that I had to scan another barcode of Rs 9999. Again, instead of crediting in my account additional Rs 9999 were debited from my account. This time he said that due to delay in processing of scan, I need to scan another barcode of Rs 9999 and this way he did 3 more times, but yet again it was debited from my account.
And the other person (Sahil Kumar) is denying to send the money now and is saying that now a total of 45500 is pending from him and he is stressing that it is been sent from him and I have to scan the at code to get that back.
