I saw an advertisement on olx and thought of buying a royal enfield bike. A person who told his name as vikas patel (Phone - [protected]) told him as an indian army officer and asked me to pay the money via paytm to number [protected] so that he can get the bike released from office. To prove his identity - he sent me his aadhar card, csd canteen identity card, and his other pics (Attached). Considering the authenticity, i transferred him initial 5000/- via paytm. then he said bike will be delivered to home within 24 hours, then the next day the delivery person named as ishwar suresh sonawane(phone - [protected]) called me and he said to deposit money(41000/-) then only he can deliver the bike. i said without seeing the bike i wont pay the money, then they talked so rashly and forced me to pay the money.By this time, i realized that i am being fooled by this guy and i told him that i am going to file a complaint against him.
I would request you guys not to transfer money unless you see the product, no matter how trusted the other party is.
I would request this matter to be urgently looked as i am seeing multiple complaints for fraud done under the name of indian army and this guy is fooling people.
*HIS PHONE NUMBER IS STILL WORKING, PLEASE TRACE HIS NUMBER VIKAS PATEL (Phone - [protected])* I HOPE MY COMPLAINT WILL BE RESOLVED.
