Housing.com — Fraud by RAMAVATH SHANKAR and ANAND KUMAR SINGH

Address:Pune

I was looking to rent a house in Pune, Maharashtra. The owner told me I have to pay Rs 1000 for visiting card. I paid immediately. After a while I was contacted by the Manager, ANAND KUMAR SINGH who said the amount to be paid is 3100 which will be refunded once I visit the property. When I paid the amount he said you have made the wrong transaction and you have to Rs 3000 and Rs 100 separately. I did that too. I asked for their IDs and they sent is almost instantly. The so called owner RAMAVATH SHANKAR said I'm from defense background and to trust them.

The manager further said that the amount I have paid has been blocked in the system so now I have to pay the whole rent amount which was Rs 10000. I did. After that they said to generate a refund card they need Rs 11200. I paid that too.

Then they asked me to pay security deposit amount of Rs 20000 to which I said 'NO'. When I said I don't have any more money. he said borrow from a friend and pay it. When I refused he kept on insisting but I declined continuously.

When I searched google I saw they were already involved in these types of frauds. The conned Rs. 28000 from me. When he called after that I confronted him and he said "you won't be able to do anything to me."

I am attaching both their IDs with this.

I was looking flat in magarpatta roystonea.
The owner ritesh kumar asked me to pay Rs 2600 for visiting card and asked me to pay to Ganesh Kumar who has also posted a property named trillium in housing.com
Unfortunately I trusted housing.com and paid but it looked suspicious so when i started asking for refund they started stalling me
That in 2 mins, 5 mins
We'll pay you tomorrow. This is unacceptable from housing.com you should have vetted the property owners properly.
There mobile number
Ganesh Kumar - +[protected]
Ritesh Kumar - +[protected]
Housing.com it's your duty to provide us the details of vetted property owners you failed to do so. I should be given a refund
