[Resolved] Indian Army Transport — Fraud on olx in name of Indian Army | |||||
I am Shefali Verma, staying in Navi Mumbai.I saw advertisement on olx of bicycle worth 5000 Rs from a account named Vikas Patel. I called on the number given on the site. On the call i was informed that person who is selling bicycle is working under Indian Army and he told me that he will deliver the bicycle to my address so i forwarded my detailed address to him. I got his call again in which he said me to pay 1000 Rs that will be deducted from the final amount. Today afternoon which is 28 July, 2020 at 01:24 pm, I made a transaction through Phone Pay to Mobile no. [protected] (Name : Tapan Sutradhar) to buy a bicycle of 1000 Rs as token. Later, he called me again saying that i have forwarded receipt of transport and handed over call to another person who is transport in-charge named - Amit Sharma. Amit Sharma informed me that I have to transfer 3150 Rs as insurance for transport of bicycle. When I disagreed on his terms, he started talking to me in aggressive manner. I told him on the call that I don't want to buy his bicycle and return my money back to me. Still waiting for him to transfer my money but I am sure he won't return it back. I have also written mail regarding this transaction to my bank and will try my best to escalate this issue as much as i can so that someone else shouldn't be cheated as i was. Hence, request you to please give serious attention on this issue and take immediately legal action against such fraudsters. Regards Shefali Verma Was this information helpful? | |||||
