My name is Donald Johnson, and I came across an ad for sale of Activa 6G in Quikr on 1/10/2022. I contacted the number (+91 [protected]) that was given in the ad, and he said that his name is Arun K, S/o Kasi K, residing at Keelkattalai, Chennai. He said that he is in the Indian Army at Pallavaram Army Camp and he is getting transferred from Tamilnadu to Jammu and Kashmir in 2 days, so he is selling his 2 wheeler for Rs.35000 and going. He said he will bring his vehicle to my location and I shared him my location. He shared all the pictures of the vehicle and some army person photo claiming he is that army person. Then he asked for my Aadhar card image and passport size pic and Rs.3100 initially so that he can process the name transfer documents to my name. I believed him and sent my aadhar card and passport size pic through whatsapp and through gpay i sent 3100. After a while he sent a bill copy of army postal service claiming he is going to courier the name transfer documents. And then he asked me to pay Rs. 15000 for processing saying his senior officer is asking the amount to be paid right now. I felt doubtful at this and started searching in google regarding this, I came across a army postal service receipt with the same serial number in google. He has downloaded that image and edited it with my details and sent it. So I asked him for his Army ID card. He sent his Army liquor card and grocery card which also looked edited. Again when I googled i found the same ID card image in google and he has just edited the name and signature. I understood that he is a fraud and said I am not interested in the purchase and asked for refund of 3100. He claimed only if i pay 15000 he will repay 18000 altogether.
Then he was calling and threatening he will complain in army regarding me.
Now I know I am not going to get my 3100 back. But i am formally making this complaint in this forum as I have given him my location details, passport size pic and aadhar card details and I fear for my security and privacy. If there is anything that can be done regarding the privacy and security please so the necessary.
Thanks. And Beware.
