Cyber Crime Cell, Navi Mumbai — Fraud on olx platform

Posted item(Bed and TV stand) on OLX to sell on 12th June 2022. One of customer (Jitendra Sharma) from phone no [protected] called me on my mobile no [protected] 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.10000/-, 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 10000/- and amount will return to your account, I scanned to take my money to account but instead of credit it was agian showing debit from my account but the amount could not be debited as there was no fund in the account. This way he misguided and defrauded me and taken my 10000 rupees.

OLX should not onboard such fraudster without proper having authentication in place and must not share any information. onboarding of such thieves is leading to loss to innocent peaple like me.
