Indian Army — fraud from olx registered person

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400028

Dear all,

I was searching online for a bolero car on olx, where i found 1 car as per my requirements & the owner was willing to send the same car & his name was vikas patel, the vehicle registration no. Was mh23y7351 & the owner's name was under sandeep amate, vikas patel told me the vehicle was under name of his friend & he was directly selling the car to me, after confirming all the formality i thought that he was a genuine seller, as he has also said that he has their own military transport facility available & only transporting charges needs to be paid to initiate the transporting services where the charges were 8440 inr, he made me speak to his senior officer yatendra kumar, after speaking to him i asked him for his id proof after verifying the details i transferred him 8440 inr to his paytm a/c no – pytm0123456 & he told me that it is army department a/c no. I transferred his this amount on 27th june from my current a/c, he sent me the receipt of 8440/-, on which every details of transporting with gst was mentioned. He told me it will take 24 hours to deliver the vehicle. Next day he again called me to say that the transporting is initiated and the vehicle is on gujarat border and to cross gujarat border and enter maharashtra border i will need to pay some charges of amount 21999/- inr and this amount will not be charged additional and will be deducted from the car value. I transferred him the amount. After 1 hour he again called saying i will have to pay the gst value mentioned in the receipt of amount 33550/- or else the vehicle will be blocked and the money can’t be refunded. I thought i should pay him so that the vehicle is delivered properly so i transferred him the amount. He again called me after some time and said i have delayed the process of transferring the amount of gst because of which late charges is incurred of amount 13940/- i asked him i have tried my best and transferred it at the earliest he said the car was waiting in the container for around 3 hours you will have to pay the amount and this will not be additional we will deduct all the amount from the car value. I transferred him the amount of 13940/- after some time he again called me said the car is reached mumbai successfully and asked for the delivery charges of amount 23710/-

Now this was too much and i sensed some doubt i reached the nearest police station and gave them all the details and they told me that this is a clear fraud cases and they started the enquiry process and told me to give complaint in written. While searching i also got to know that this incident is done with many of the genuine customers. Below i have attached the link for reference. Please provide the required help at the earliest as the person is still asking for more money and his phone is still on.
