Indian Army — fraud over olx -duped of rs 4000

I had posted an ad on Olx for sale of HUL Pureit water purifier. This person called me (ph no. [protected]) on Aug 6, 2019 and identified himself as an army personnel. We settled for Rs 1000 as payment. He called me after couple of hours and told me that he wants to get it picked from someone else but would like to make a payment in advance over google pay. I told him that I don't use google pay but can take on paytm. He sent me a request of Rs 1000 on paytm through UPI. I told him that it is asking me to pay rather than him paying the amount. He told me that it will first debit my account and then add double of that amount. I did not agree to it and told him that this is not possible. he said this is how it works and requested me to try it with Rs 5 transaction and I agreed to it. Rs 5 got debited from I account and Rs 10 got credited. Believing him, I accepted Rs 1000 transaction. My account got debited of Rs 1000 but Rs 2000 didn't get credit. Upon this he said that there is some error in swipe machine from which we are doing. he said he is sorry. so asked me to do again with rs 2000 so I can get my money back but again same thing happened and I got duped of Rs 3000. Then this person told me that he will refund my full money in my debit card though swipe machine and asked me to furnish my debit card details including cvv number which I refused. I told him to transfer the money in my account which he didnt do. This went on for couple of hours and in between he kept asking me of my account balance.

next day (Aug 7, 2019) he again called me and apologized that I lost my money and said that he is an army person and will never do fraud and also send me his army ID card over whatsapp. He said he will make the transfer through same pethod but from phonepe this time and refund my entire money. The same trial with Rs 5 worked but when we did with Rs 999, it didn't work. So, I lost another Rs 1000.

I told this person to send my money in my bank account which he said he cannot do. he keep insisting that its an army camp and only method he can transfer money is through swipe machine into phonepe / paytm etc.

This person is a fraud. He also had an accomplice who posed as a shopkeeper with swipe machine. When I confronted him, this person started abusing me.

Please help me get my Rs 4000. The ID of army person Praveen is attached.
