I saw an ad on olx and thought of buying a phone. A person who told his name as vikas patel (Phone - [protected]) told him as an army officer and asked me to pay the money in google pay [protected] 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 (Attached). Considering the authenticity, i transferred him initial 1000 for courier charges then he sent me pic of courier charges then he said me to pay 7500 that i paid after enquiring with courier boy and once again that courier said me to transfer 3150 that also i did but i didnt received the phone yet.. He and his courier boy cheated me with army name and identity.. This will be bad name for indian army force also so take quick action on this otherwise many people will suffer from this..
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 dont suffer : (
I would request this matter to be urgently looked as i am seeing multiple complaints for fraud done under the name of indian army and this guy is fooling people. Was this information helpful? |
