Saw an add in car dekho (I20 magna 2014 crdi for 3 lakhs). Aman kumar is the owner’s name. He told us he is in hyderabad and he will send the car to us (Nellore, andhra pradesh). We insisted on visiting him first but he insisted on sending the vehicle to us (Through the indian army transport service). A service charge of 5250/- was levied on us, calling it refundable amount. We did pay. I wait for the car the whole day. Afternoon around 3 i get a call from the driver. (Prashanth) asking me to pay them 17k to receive the vehicle. Else i wont get the delivery he says. And the amount is refundable he says. I speak to the manager of the transport service (Sandeep) he says we need to follow rules and regulations. I was not informed about all this earlier and suddenly they ask me to pay certain amount of money. I tried talking to them and figuring out what went wrong. Ask them to deliver the vehicle to me. They tell me they cannot do it unless i pay them 17k. So i doubted something fishy there and did not pay them any more. I demanded for the refund of 5250/- i payed. And asked them to cancel the delivery at first place. They tried hard to get 17k from me. Later on when i say cancel it the manager tries to blame it on us. I strongly feel there is something fishy going on here, these people are fake.
