Dear sirs,

1) on 30th may, 2019 a man named
Vijay singh +[protected] rang me in the night at about 10.30 saying he wanted buy some items advertised by us in the olx

2) he said his wife will pickup the item from us the next morning

3) he said since he is in the military services and has to attend the duties in the morning, wanted to pay the amount immediately and asked me whether i have the phonepe account;

4) when i said i have, he said to open the phonepe account and said he has sent 4900/-; he was continuously talking and said if i press ‘yes’ the amount will be credited to my account;
Since i am a senior citizen and the call came in the late night as he had the knack to talk continuously, not giving time for me to think, i did what he said and found that 4900/- gone from my account to him; when i realised he has sent one other similar request for 5000/- and started saying this and that when i cut his call and switched off the mobile;

5) i had sleepless night and to my surprise next day early morning at about 7 he had the adocity to call me again;
When i scolded him and said i will go to the police regarding his cheating he said he will return the amount 4900/- and wanted me to open phonepe account again; then i disconnected his call and blocked his number;
6) so i lost the money and tried to get help from phonepe regarding this fraud but they said nothing could be done as the amount has already gone to him;
So thought i will report this fraud to the deccan herald to publish, as it will be useful for others
My details are:
