I was looking for a second hand scooty in OLX. I saw an ad of Suzuki Access (https://www.olx.in/item/urgent-sell-iid-[protected]) and it had owner's number as [protected]. I called and the person name Raja Krishnappa received the call. He said he is an Indian army officer and on duty in Kempegowda International Airport. Due to his transfer he wants to sell his scooty in urgent. We made a deal in Rs.35000 and he said due to his busy work time he'll deliver the bike to my location and after that I need to pay if I like it. I asked him to meet me on his holidays so I can test the scooty and pay him but he said he stays inside airport authority where I cant get in and he said to trust on him, to trust on an army officer, so I did. According to the description the bike was in very good condition and I agreed for it. He said to pay the transportation charge of Rs.3100 which will be included in 35k, I sent money on [protected] given by him as post office number and in return he sent me a postal receipt of Army Postal Service Department of India and he confirmed that within next 3 hrs I'll receive the bike. After 3 hrs a person called and said that he is the delivery boy from Indian Army ([protected]) where he said that I need to pay the GST amount which is on the receipt, then only he'll have the clearance mail to carry the bike to my location, I sent Rs.9200 as he said. Later on he called and said I need to send 9000 and 200 saperatly, I did. At last he said to pay me remaining Rs.13, 500 because office will be closed by another few mins. So overall I lost Rs.35, 000/- by trusting the name of Indian Army, I put a complaint on cyber crime portal within 24 hours of incident happened. I request to look into this matter and give me justice. Thank you.

Dear OLX,
After the fraud which happened with me I put the complain on Cyber Crime cell and posted this complaint in consumer complaints. However now a days I've started getting fraud calls by the name of Consumer Complaint help line and Crime branch, even they tried to transfer my money from account by saying that I'll get my refund. Seriously I'm surprised how my information are with them, I don't have any trust left on anyone nether on consumer complaints not crime branch or OLX !!! As more I'm trying to do complain I'm getting wrapped in the trap more. Thank you for your concern, I can't share any further information of mine.
with regards,
Your user.
