Airtel — fake user ids used to perpetrate a fraud on olx

Address:

Jodhpur, Rajasthan

13 june 2018

Dear sirs:

A person with the cellphone number[protected] and having a paytm account[protected], isfc # pytm123456 and claiming a name of mr. Ss has perperated a fraud on a transaction on olx. This person wanted to sell a cellphone and i offered to buy it.

I transferred the payment in two installments to this paytm account (Inr 2000 as token advance + inr 38850 as final settlement with the courier charges) from my account with hdfc, bangalore. But the person has taken the money and disappeared and does not answer the cellphone number or the whatsapp messages sent on the same.

This seller had provided his aadhar card and cisf id card details (Attached as photos herewith) for proof. Apparently, both these ids are stolen and i have been able to establish that the original holder, mr. Shrikant, who works as a constable with the cisf, has indeed lost them. What is disturbing is that the cellphone number[protected] shows the holder's name as shrikant which means that this cheat has been able to get a sim using the stolen cards and airtel has not bothered to verify the fingerprint ids before selling the sim or the sim too is a stolen one.

His colleagues in this fraud are two persons claiming to be representatives of a courier company in jodhpur, rajasthan with the cellphone numbers[protected] and[protected].

In a nutshell, the seller has got the payment but has not delivered the phone but pretended to have sent it through telephone calls received from the so called courier company representatives. This smells of a large scale fraudulent operation that needs to be nipped in the bud.

I would very much appreciate your assistance in identifying these culprits and, if possible, assist me to get my money back. I would be happy to provide any additional details including the whatsapp exchanges with this cheat for this transaction, if required.

Sincerely,
Chandrasekhar ramamurthy
