[Resolved]  Olx — Fraud

On 14th Dec 2020 i have posted an ad on olx lg g8x for 25k and made contacted by a fraudster named Balaji bala we made a deal for 24k and on 15th he said he is coming to collect the mobile on 16th afternoon and i said ok.On 16th morning around 11'o clock he called and said i am unable to come so he is sending his friend to collect mobile and going to pay the money he talkes genuinely so i said yes and after 10 min he messaged me to send mobile photos and invoice .
After sending them he asked me to go certain area after going there he informed me that the place is happi mobile store .
Here is the trick he pulled off he said they are his friends who work in happi mobile store he said just checkin the store and they will inspect the mobile and he will transfer the money through phonepe then i said ok.
For happi store guys he made them believe that i am his relative and i am just there to deliver the mobile .
After checking the mobile they sent him 10000 on google pay here i asked balaji fraud guy why they are sending 10k.He said they borrowed money from him before if they send that money i will send u the 24000 to you as soon as i realise something is fishy the happi store guys sent him 10k and then he blocked my number and all he wont pickup anyones call and always saying busy .
Later he messaged me that he will send the 10k in 1 hour and then after 3 hours and on and on .I am so mad about myself for getting into this situation .
