MagicBricks — Fraud Alert using Magic Bricks Rental Ad

Hi Sir,
we recently posted a rental Ad for our property in Mumbai, Two days back a person named Pradap Yadav from CISF Manglore contacted me, gave his id proof Aadhar card agreed for all the clauses without bargainig, telling that he has to shift his family on 1st Jan, to put his child in school, convinced by him I shared my daughters no since she is the owner, He has told her that he would transfer the advance before signing the agreement since his papers are approved by his superior, to verify the account he has transferfred 2Rs to her account and to cross check he had asked her to send it back, then sent 49500, immediately called her told her that his superior wouldnot allow him to transfer to a single account, got details of my daughters other account no, Told her that he would send the whole payment through paytm, requested her to return 49000, when she did that that hehas told that he ha snot received and its a failiure transcation, my daughter thinking he is dilly dallying why to rent it out to him, transferred the amount, so sent again 49000, when she found 99000 is debited from her account, he has told her only if she gives 10000 he can get approval thats rhe way army peoples transactions are carried, she was desperate to get her 99000 back she has swiped her credit card transferred that to paytmwallet, paid him backhe has told, unless she shares the cretid card no he cant revert the money, all this happened in a matter of 30 to minutes. Then she became alert and told my husband, when he asked that feloow to return the money unless we give 20000 back money wont be returned and wanted my daughter to talk to him, when we said policewe have raised a police complaint, PHI AAPKA PAISA CHALE GAYE, NAHI MILAGA, we said ok, in few minutes he sent a fakescreen shot of transaction of 49500 from ICICI bank. Request Magic bricks to send an alert to all the advertisers that potential tenants from army back ground CISF or BSF, pl do not speak to them declain their interest, if you converse they will trap you and swindle money from all your accounts Our daughter lost 1, 28000Rs yesterday in 30 to 45 minutes
we wanted to caution the public anyway raised acomplaint with Cyber crime, Do not transact more than 500 to 1000 through paytm wallet,

Same Pratap Yadav, this time claimed to be from Army. Wanted to keep his "family" at the rented accommodation.I asked about the rank of his CO, he couldn't answer- got exposed.

All beware, Have written to the portal to install technology to weed out such frauds.
