| Address: Satara, Maharashtra |
On 12th July 2021 through Facebook ads from a profile named Rekha Singh. The Royal Enfield bike brown color storm rider 2019 model, 9k+ km driven was asked for the details of the seller.
I received the contact number ([protected]) of the owner for further inquiry through Facebook messenger.
The owner was contacted through WhatsApp from the above number. A seller named Mr. Vishwas sent me all the photos of the bike through whats app. I conveyed my interest in buying the bike for 75, 000k. He also showed interest to sell.
we talked over the phone for confirmation and he sent me an RC card RTO Nashik origin MH15 and his id proof which is attached along with this complaint.
The reason behind selling the bike, since he was getting transferred to another base camp.
I requested a test drive. Since he was located in Satara and I was in Pune.
He told the army vehicle transport people will come to my address (Which was shared with him) and show me the bike.
Date of Incident: 14th July 2021
He suggested for army vehicle transport service and asked me to pay 7550 rs postal charges which get included in the deal amount If I am satisfied with the bike and then we can speak further he added.
Phone pay number: [protected]-Arpita g
As per the rules of army vehicle transport, I paid 7550rs as an advance payment for postal charges.
I received the bill through whats app. ( which is attached along with this complaint.)
He also told me to pay 11550 as a security deposit. I agreed and paid him through the above Phone pay number.
On the same day, I got a call from [protected], Mr. Chauhan, from army postal service Viman Nagar. That they have received the bike. He told me that as per the rules I should pay 31100 rs as a security deposit to Mr. Vishwas again . i did not understand initially but agreed to pay. then I got a call from him again explaining that I have made a mistake and I should do two transactions of 31k and 100 rs separately or else a statement will not get generated to deliver the bike. I did the payment again to same above number again (Transaction details are attached)
Then again I get calls from ([protected]) Mr. Chauhan stating that they have not received the statement to deliver the bike and assured me that money is safe in the army account and told me not to worry.
Mr. Vishwas calls me again and told me that there is some technical error and money is safe. But I need to pay 62000rs again for statement generation. He made me speak with Mr. MD Alam who looks after all these works at their base camp and he started to convince me for paying 62000rs for statement generation without proper reasons. I was totally shocked about the technical error from the army office. I felt this was a fraud and told them that I am not going to pay any amount. since I have already paid 80200 rs for the above phone pay number. which is more than the quoted amount for the bike.
Its was night so we ended the discussion
On 15th july
I requested their receipts for all the transactions which I have but they don't are not sharing them. I told them that consider the security amount as purchasing amount. I am ok to purchase the bike. pls, deliver the bike.
Initially, Mr. Vishwas agreed but again he started to torture me to pay 62000rs to generate a statement for delivering the bike to my Pune address. I strictly told them that I am not paying any amount more. Instead, i told Mr. Vishwas to pay it and resolve the issue.
([protected]) Mr. Chauhan called me again on 16th July and assured me that bike will be delivered by 7 pm. But there was no response even after calling and messaging him several times.
on the same day, I called Mr. Vishwas and told him to resolve the issue. or else let's cancel the deal. He is just insisting on me paying 62000rs and even gave me an option that we can share half money and resolve the issue, But I have disagreed.
Pls, help me out with this issue. I have lost my 80200rs.
I am happy if I get the bike. If not I am ok with the refund.
