I saw one scooty add on olx on 29th july, 2019. It was 2018 registered and 6158 km driven. The advertiser identified himself as an army personnel soon to be transferred to kashmir and wanted to sell his scooty. He asked me to pay 3100 to book the scooty in my name at army regiment office. He said someone from regiment office will bring the scooty at my location in 3-4 hours and if i like the scooty i will have to pay the remaining amount, otherwise 3000 will be refunded back to me and 100 will be deducted.
After some time i got a call from army courier. He said that he has not recieved a mail from regiment office regarding scooty delivery and i have to pay half of the remaining amount (11000) so that regiment office can send the mail. It looked suspicious, so i called the owner and he said that he himself will go to regiment office and call back. He called and asked to pay and i paid.
The owner called again and asked to give full amount as their was some error in the system and the regiment office need full payment. I refused to pay. He said the delivery will be marked as pending and we will get the money back after 15 days. I asked him to meet me at the regiment office. He said there is no point in meeting because if i don't receive the delivery that day, it will be marked as pending and i didn't have time. I transferred 10900 more.
After some time he called and asked to pay penalty of 11500 (Refundable) due to delay in previous payment. At this time i was pretty sure that this is a scam and i am fooled. I went to the army campus and asked for the regiment office. The guard at the gate said that at least 15-20 people in the last 30 days have come with same complaint and they have looted more than 50 lacs in bangalore.
