Address: | Pune, Maharashtra |
I saw a recent ad on OLX of vivo15 pro and thought of buying a phone. A person who told his name as Vikas Patel (Phone - [protected]) as an army officer in Pune region and asked me to pay the money via paytm to number [[protected]] which he claimed to be Indian Army Regiment office so that he can get the phone released from office. To prove his identity - he sent me his CSD canteen identity card, and his other pics related to the bill receipt(Attached below). Considering the authenticity, he asked me to transfer him initial 1500/- via paytm that to an urgent basis. Post this - he asked me to transfer another remaining 12000/- so that he can get the phone and papers released. By this time, I realized that I am being fooled by this guy and searched on the internet related to any fraud case register against Vikash Patel where I came to know this person is making a fraud deal to every customer with new gadgets being sold at a cheap rate. Though I didn't make any payment yet, that guy keeps on calling me continuously regarding the initial payment. I told him that I am going to file a complaint against him. Instead of switching off his phone, he said to me that you dont know the power of the army and I (Vikas) will file a case on me for fraud, he started threatening me and started talking in a rash way.
I would request you guys not to transfer money unless you see the product, no matter how trusted the other party is. Just sharing my plight so others don't suffer.
I would request this matter to be urgently looked as I am seeing multiple complaints about fraud has done under the name of the indian army and this guy is fooling people.
