[Resolved]  Olx — fraud on olx on the name of army soldier for buying honda activa 4g

Address:Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, 201001

The matter was:-
I was planning to buy 2nd hand scooty, and on olx i saw an add "honda activa model 2018 4g" at noida location.

I start chat with that olx user and he give me his contact number
+91- [protected] and said he is in agra cant with indian army (He pretends to be an indian army soldier) and want to sell his scooty on immediate basis as he is getting transferred to ranchi that's why selling his scooty at such low cost (33k quoted), he shared me some scooty pics along with rc image, id proof of one person that is vikash patel (Enclosed all)
He told me to share my address so that he can deliver the scooty through postal delivery by their army camp.

I trusted him as he seems to be so confident in talking and acting as a army person. He told me to transfer the whole amount to the credentials so that he can share the postal delivery slip.
But i refused that whole amount can't be transferred without adding beneficiary and i transferred rs 10000 to him on above account.

Thereafter today morning one another person calls me (Acting like delivery person from agra army camp mob - +91-[protected]) and said we arrived at delhi location, and said no mail has been received to him from post office, he said clear the rest amount so that he got mail and deliver the scooty.

Then i refused and got that they are the gang of frauds.

Their credentials provided are as follows :
Acc no[protected]
Ifsc code - pytm0123456

I requested sbi as well on mail to kindly help me to get that amount reverse into my account.

I have seen thousands of same type complaints today on consumer complaint portal and i was shocked to how many they have cheated.

I am unable to understand why these cheaters are still in operations even after lot of complaints.

Big big question mark.

Request authorities to kindly take serious and hard actions against these looterey gang so that it creates a message to other cyber frauds or other frauds.

Regards,
Arun

I won't file any FIR.

I don't want to waste my time without finding any fruitful results.

Its your duty to catch these thefts and expose them.
They are running their racket on large scale.

And in OLX, you will found complaints almost daily by these frauds.

That means something is there with them like your support.

Otherwise, what you can do is you can share the msg or call in between the seller buyer chat.

That there are many fraud cases observed now a days.
Dont pay or send your product in advance.

Final the deal one to one meeting personally

Best Regards
Arun

Actually i was cheated yesterday by an army person (Mr. Arvikar Bhanudas) for rs 9100/- also he not only cheated me but he cheated many peoples which i saw when i tried to lodge complaint against him online.

The phone numbers ([protected]) and Today on olx siite his number shows [protected] they used to cheat e and others are as follows ([protected], [protected], [protected])

My only request you is to take immediate action on them as they are spoiling armies image and losing trust of civilians, also stop them in cheating others.

He came in contact through olx site where he published for selling his Activa Scooters, from there he contact me and asked me to first transfer rs 3150 to hisAccount Jasveer Singh Yadav A/c No[protected] IFSC - PYTM0123456 paytm no. [[protected]], then i got a call from courier boy that your parcel Dispathch From Pune Army Office and i have to pay rs 6000 than again he called that balance 5999 need to pay otherwise parcel will be returned and again. I got a call to pay 3000 more and Activa will be delivered to me today. Today when i didn’t receive i searched online and found they are cheating peoples same way as i was cheated and many of the victims lodge complaint on complaint lodging site but resolution rating is only 3% which urges me to contact you directly.

Also to build faith he has shared his army id, pan card id, canteen id, aadhar id, photographs in army uniform of himself and 3 ~4 persons other and by seeing this one cannot disbelief.

Sir Money is not matter for me but they are cheeting people using by indian army name that is most hurt to me because i Proud Indian Army .
So i am request u to take necessary action immediately

This fraud happened to me as well on OLX by selling ACTIVA 4G MH03 CU 2671 - frauder name - vinit prakash dessai.
Please suggest how i have raise a complaint to traffic police for this. So, this is not happening to others in future.
