Hi,
My name is Vighnesh Kumar, residing at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. I was in search of purchasing a second hand scooter in OLX and found one which seems good for me because it comes under my budget as well a new one. Since it is cheap price I suspect the deal. Anyway I called to this number [protected](as updated in OLX) and he himself introduced as an Army person (Vikas Patel) doing security job in Thiruvananthapuram airport. I will explain the fraud shortly. He convinced me to give Rs.3020 for making some bill payments to get the scooter deliver over the airport. And also agreed that I will just receive the scooter by paying 3020 rupees and if I didn't like send it back and he will refund 3020. And If I like the scooter then I have to pay the remaining amount (here 13980). After some hours paying the 3020 rupees, I got the next call from another person who himself introduced Mr. Manjeeth he is the delivery person stuck on the way since there are some GPS issue which blocked him to come to my location. So I need to pay the remaining amount urgently to get it resolved then only he can move to my location. But I didn't pay the amount after several attempts from both of them and I request to refund my initial payment of 3020rupees. Finally they agreed to refund on next day (6th July 2020) morning, but after that both mobile numbers were switched off. I have tried the number in which I payed the amount through googlepay but no response. That number itself showing in googlepay as "Army Parcel Office". If you could please take necessary action and bring them into
jurisdiction and make the compensation from them. Below are the mobile numbers,
[protected] - used in OLX and to communicate through WhatsApp, name given Vikas Patel (photo attached)
[protected] - Money transferred to this number through googlepay.
[protected] - This is the another number which says delivery person's number - Manjith.
He sent all the photos to convince me as he is an Army person with name Vikas Patel.
I am attaching the photos and screenshots as proof. May be the photos they sent and claimed as theirs may not be their own but also a chance of an original army person, in such case my sincere apology for them to expose their photos here.
Kindly take necessary action against them asap and mostly they are doing this fraud in the name of our respected Indian Army which is intolerant.
