[Resolved]  Olx — In order to purchase a books from my AD on OLX, a guy named Ravi Kumar trick me to extract out 40,000 rupees.

I gave an AD on OLX.com at 30 January, 2021 to sell my three books for total 700 rupees. I received a message from a guy named Ravi Kumar that he want to purchase it and give me your number. I gave him my number. Next day i.e 31 January, 2021 he called me and said that I want to buy the books as my children like it, please give me your location so that I can send my mans to pick the books. So, I send it on his whatsapp/phone number:- [protected] on spot. He said, he will pay the money beforehand and asked for UPI ID for Paytm. For checking purpose, he send me a bar code for 1 rupees and said scan it, and made a payment. 1 rupees debited from my account and on the second moment it credited again in my account. Then I agree on it. He again send me a bar code of 700Rs and start the procedure. 700 debited but its not credited back in my account. he said again scan the same code, click the pay option but do not enter the pin because he himself enter the pin first in his swipe card machine then you(me) enter the pin and check the balance. But again it debited not credited. In the same procedure, he send the bar code of different amount, in order to get my money I take the risk again and again & paid (700+700+1999+1999+6100+6100+17600+5000= 40, 198Rs). I said him to pay through the bank account but no he stubbornly use the same bar code method.

I request OLX.com to accept my complaint and look into it deeply and kindly refund my money.
