On 19.12.2022 I put an advertisement of my table and chairs on OLX for sale. A person named Anil Kumar claiming himself as an army personnel called me as he was interested to purchase it. He said he can buy it from his Army card. He asked me to make his payment via phonepe.
He called me and asked me to be on call while he was making his payment and send me first a link stating " indian army payment received... 50rs credited to your phonepe account" he told me that I have to click on pay first so that I will get a collective amount of Rs 100 in my account. He also send me his Army card to gain my trust. I did the same and got Rs 100 after that he send text stating "indian army payment... 2950 rs credited to your phonepe account" then I got two links stating " next payment received... 5900 rs credited to your phonepe account" when I clicked 5900 rs deducted from my account but I did not receive any amount as discussed then he told me to click on another link then a total of 11 800 rs will be received into my accoun having trust in Indian Army I clicked on the link again but my balance was low hence the transaction got failed . Then he called me continously that he will pay everything on 20 december 2022 but i didn't do the same
