Olx — army scam on olx by the man named "srikanth"

Website:OLX.in

On 2nd July, 2018 I saw an add on Olx.in. This add was of an iPhone 7. The seller fixed a price of 26500. I was interested in the offer so I contacted him on 2nd July, 2018.I sent him a message on Olx that my budget was 16000. He then sent me his mobile no. and told me to contact. I called him on 3rd July, 2018.He introduced himself as an army man in CISF regiment. For proof he even send me his aadhar card, CISF identity card on WhatsApp. He told me that he is currently in Rajasthan, Jodhpur so he sent me the images of the phone on WhatsApp. The phone was in good condition so I gave him my offer which was 17500. He willingly agreed to it. But I still wanted to see the phone physically, so he told me that he will courier it today and the phone will reach u tomorrow but at the same time he told me to give him an advance payment of Rs 5000. I told him that currently I can give u only 2000 and the rest payment will be done after I inspect the phone myself. He agreed to it. The next day he called and told me to do the rest of the payment as the delivery is on its way but I was firm and told him that the rest payment will be done only when I see the phone. He kept on telling me to do the rest payment and then I realised that this man is fraud and there is not going to be a delivery or so. So I finally told him to give my 2000 rupees back through Paytm, i.e the same way I sent him the money, as I did not want his phone now. He totally refused and said that he will not return the money because he has invested his money on delivery. I was totally helpless. In this way the CISF man named SRIKANTH cheated me. Necessary actions must be taken against this man.
