I had posted an Advertisement in Quicker for sale of earbud costing Rs 8000/- on 18th Dec 2020. The offer was accepted for Rs8000/- by the person Praveen Kumar . He then called me and asked me to share the live location as he would send the person to collect it . On sharing my location, he said he from India Army and posted in Chennai Airport. I said you make the payment first . He then started telling that that he would send Indian Army code, one I make payment, the computer with send me back along with the cost of the item. He send me a code for Rs 5 /- once I made payment, he transferred Rs10/-. He said this is how army coupon would work. With all due respect to Indian Army, we are always emotional towards them. He then asked me transfer Rs 7995, so that the computer could transfer Rs15990/- I believed and transferred Rs 7995/- but he said it is time out and asked me to transfer again He gave the phone call to another person stating he is his senior named Anand Kumar .I asked to come on whatapp video call. He came and pleaded and said that the person would loose his job, so please transfer one more time, all money would be refunded . During the call I took snap shot of his face . He also send the Pan card/ Liquor card and ID card of both person. I honestly believed and transferred another Rs7995/-. He again Said he did not receive the money at all . By which time I got bit anxious and conveyed them that both of you are cheating .
