Olx Fraud Avdesh Kumar — I am complaining about olx Fraud happened with me

A guy named avdesh kumar posted his vivo v17 pro on olx only for 7000 rs its original price was 34000. I asked reason for selling it for low cost because he said he used it only for 3 months then he said he is going to brought a new mobile in diwali sale. Then he said he is army man and is currently in aurangabad army camp. And he said he will send his mobile through army courier service and will receive parcel in just 12 hours. I thought it's a good deal so I agreed him. Then he said to give my address name mobile number and I have to 520 rs as delivery charges which will reduced from phone's amount. Then I have paid that amoubt through phonepe and he said your order is confrimed. And he send me pics of sending parcel through army courier serivce overnite express. Next day the phone of courier man came and said I have to pay 2100 rs and 1000 rs GST and insurance charge which will be reduced from the original amount and after paying that amount I will receive parcel. Then I have contacted seller and told that courier man is saying to pay 3100 rs total amount then he said it is for security reason because the parcel is from army. Then I paid 3100 amount then till have have not received any parcel and the number of seller is switched off. I request olx to make safety from such frauds by making some safety rules in app. And please dont get traped in such frauds in the name of Indian army. They also send us their fake id as proof and says to trust Indian army.
