Olx India — A scammer OLX user

I wanted to sell my CLAT books as i changed my major in between of the course so this uncle approched me through olx and wanted all the books i had of CLAT. I gave him my no. and the amount he had to pay was 4000 so he asked for paytm and said i am an army officor and our all payments are transacted from our office through the office's website. as i heard army i trusted him blindly and did whatever he said so i was on call and he gave his phone to the another person working there . first he asked me to deposit 5 ruppee through paytm to confirm the transaction so i did that and 10 ruppees were credited in my account then he asked to do it for 4000 so that 8000 must be credited to mine. at that time i hesitated a bit and asked why do i have to transfer an all stuff. he said we are posted in jammu and here transaction are made like this for saftey purpose. so i did that too but then he said the money cannot be transfered because there was a session time out. so i had some argument with him so for proof he sent me his addhar card and canteen smart card so he asked me to do the transaction again then i realised he is a scammer but it was too late. He said today he will transfer it through bank but when i called him he said he went to the bank but bank is also saying there is no other way and that to today is sunday. i have the addhar card and canteen card pic and his phone no. [ [protected] ] and screenshot of all the transaction i made through paytm . i surely want all my money back which is 10000 if possible and to give him the right punishment which he totally deserves for doing such scams . and from now onwards ill be aware of such scammer too and i will give all the information i have about him. thank you
