Dear Concerned,

While going through the options of Activa scooter on OLX, i came across an advertisement of Activa 2018 model @Rs. 28000 in pretty good condition as could be seen in the posted pictures on OLX. I sent a message to the seller like i sent to the other sellers as well. He replied back with his contact number ([protected]) and i got in touch with him.

He introduced himself as Mr. Sanjay Singh, an Army personnel and shared his pan card copy. He told me that he was working in Bangalore and has been transferred to Hyderabad, and hence wishes to sell the bike immediately. He has a whatsapp photo in army uniform.

He took all my details like, correspondence address, permanent address, adhaar card and passport size photograph to transport the bike to the provided address. He asked me to pay him the money once i receive the scooter.

Today in the morning he called me and claimed to be in the courier service office of the army quarters, he even made me speak to the courier guy, who then asked me to pay for the transport cost which was Rs. 3200. He gave me his courier service's paytm number [protected].

I sent him the money and he sent me the transcript of the courier of the activa with proper number of the bike on it. The transcript also has stamps of Indian Army.

I have tried to get in touch with the delivery person on the given number on the document but the number is switched off. He has committed to deliver the scooter tomorrow. So i shall be waiting for what comes next!

Now when i came back to OLX today and went back to his chat, i found a message from you guys saying that he might be a fraud!! Post which i went to read more about this guy claiming to be working for Indian Army and came across a few more complaints against him posted in 2018 & 2019.

How could OLX be so irresponsible and be allowing a person to continue with his fraudulent activities even after so many complaints from different users across cities on OLX.

He has committed to deliver the activa scooter tomorrow. Just now got a message from him; he has provided me the delivery person name and number as Jaffer [protected].

What kind of hoax is this!!!??? How can a company be so irresponsible towards their customers. On a consumer forum complaint against this guy OLX has claimed to have blocked this seller!!!

I shall be filling an FIR against this guy tomorrow if i don't receive the scooter. I was about to finalise a deal on active on Quickr but due to this case that has also got sold out. I have wasted my time, energy and money into this. I missed to go to my work because of my increased stress levels due to the fraud that took place. I shall be filling a complaint against OLX too, given such negligence from the company and not caring about people's time and money.

I want OLX to compensate me for the loss of my deal and the loss borne by me by not being at work today.
