Indian Army — fraud in olx advertisement

Address:Thane, Maharashtra, 421202

Seller meena vilas landge who claims to be an army soldier promised to deliver this activa mh-02-fh-7331 from nagpur to mumbai (Dombivli) with army postal service receipt on 18th afternoon at 15:31 pm and requested me to pay rs - 3120 as a part of transport charges via google pay on number :- [protected] as army transport company, therefore i paid. Upi transaction id[protected] attached
On 19th morning i got a call from a number [protected] who claims to be a army transport company as per google pay account requested me to pay 19, 880 remaining amount as a part of security deposit, so i paid the same as he claimed that its under army guidelines and policies. I paid.. Upi id[protected] number - [protected] attached
Then after a while i got a call from [protected] ravikumar who claims to be a transport driver who insisted me to first pay 11, 250 as a part of insurance which will be refunded back as soon as the vehicle is delivered and literally forced me to pay. So, i paid the same. Upi id[protected] number - [protected] attached
Soon, he said that it should be 11200 + 50 separate payments so i again made a payment separately.. I did. Upi id[protected] & upi id[protected] number - [protected] attached
Then the same previous guy forced insisted troubled me to pay 11250 + 11200+50 = 22500 and he said that the active is delivered in 10 mins. I paid. Upi id[protected] number - [protected] attached
Then i got a call from army transport number [protected] and he said you have to pay 16, 408 as a part of gate pass for activa when i paid, he quickly called and said that its a incorrect transaction and 16, 460 needs to be paid instead of 16408. So, i informed them that i crossed my google pay limits. He said, arrange it from others and pay as soon as possible. So i requested my colleague to make the payment of 16, 460 on [protected]. She checked and found that this number is just 5 days ago activated however she paid the amount. Upi id[protected] number - [protected] attached
She then got a call from hdfc bank and they blocked her account stating that this is an fraudulent number and action is been taken against the number. Then i got to know that all this is scam.
Army transport called me again and asked for more 22, 000 that is when i told them that i will not do any transaction as all my limits have been crossed.
By this time i made a payment of 1, 00, 868 - number - [protected] attached not sure why i did this but i have been hypnotized and i blindly trusted them and made payments.
I usually never do such transactions and till now i just feel why did i make such huge mistake.
I was stuck and honestly i was under an impression that as its under army authorities everything gets recorded and safe but i wasn't knowing that this was a great scam... Therefore i need your help please. I cried a lot and i just went under depression as soon as this happened. Is this the way people take advantage of being into army. Is this what nation wants.
I want you to raise a complaint against all these three people as my money is gone and even activa isnt delivered.
I am expecting a call from your team.
Please treat this matter urgently. As i don't want any other person to be in this trouble.
Note:-
[protected] - meena vilas - claims to be a owner of the activa - what's app dp - army soldier
[protected] - ravi kumar - claims to be a delivery boy - what's app dp - army soldier
[protected] - google pay - army transport company - no whats app. All my transactions are in this number

I have again received a call from the same person who sent me QR code and said that its a voucher. he forced me to scan the same and make a transaction. I denied, so he started abusing me and said he will never send me the money and disconnected the call. I called him again however he seemed to have blocked me.
When can this be resolved SIr? How can we catch hold of them .
