Indian Army — army swipe machine

Feb 17, 2020

Updated by SamCc Eloborating my Issue:

I had posted an ad on olx for Water Purifier. This person called me and identified himself as an army personnel. We settled for rs 4500 as payment. He called me after couple of hours and told me that he wants to get it picked from someone else but would like to make a payment in advance over google pay. I told him that i don't use google pay but can take on phonepe. He sent me a request of rs 1500 on phonepe through upi. I told him that it is asking me to pay rather than him paying the amount. He told me that it will first debit my account and then add double of that amount. I did not agree to it and told him that this is not possible. He said this is how it works and requested me to try it with rs 5 transaction and i agreed to it. Rs 5 got debited from i account and rs 10 got credited. Believing him, i accepted rs 4500 transaction. My account got debited of rs 4500 but rs 4500 didn't get credit. Upon this he said that there is some error in swipe machine from which we are doing. He said he is sorry. So asked me to do again with rs 4000 as code for receiving 4500 so i can get my money back but again same thing happened and i got duped of approx. Rs 8500. For which he said that you have to click pay and recieve option code for two times. Then this person told me that he will refund my full money in my debit card though swipe machine and asked told him to transfer the money in my account which he didnt do. This went on for couple of hours and same repeated for 500 rs total 4500+4000+500 got debited.

I told this person to send my money in my bank account which he said he cannot do. He keep insisting that its an army camp and only method he can transfer money is through swipe machine into phonepe / paytm etc.

later I said my account is having less than 50 rs i cannot transfer then he is said me to transfer the amount from any parents account so that your money will be get credited which i didn't do, One of my friend called that Fraud person stating that he is police then Immediately call has been Disconnected and phone had been switched off.

Could you please help me out to get my money back
