OLX India Complaints & Reviews

Respected sir/mam,
I came into contact with a bike seller on olx. He asked me advance payments before delivering the bike. I paid approximately rs70000/- in multiple transactions. But after that he switched off his contact number and he has gone untraceable.
His contact number.. [protected]
His name.. Deepak kumar pandey

Account number to which money was transferred..[protected]
Ifsc code.. Pytm0123456

Ad id - [protected]
I have republished this ad as it did not got sold but when i republished the ad it didn't get live so i called olx customer support they said increase your price - what is this? I want to sell my game cds and olx customer support tells me to increase the price listed on ad
What kind of service is this?
Previously the same ad was active but now they are telling me to change the price? It's my product so i want to sell at my price
So kindly activate my ad fast.

I received a call on 7 november 2019 from some unknown person he said that my phone network of hip is blocked and to activate it i need to give otp which will be sent to my moblie. After sometime i received an otp without any reference, otp msg as follows"use xxxx as your otp to register". The same unknown person called me and asked for otp in order to activate my phone network, i shared the otp but when i again checked the otp message, i was it was from vx-olxind and not from jio so i got suspicious and after 5 to 10mins opened my olx india app and checked so i noticed that an notification was found where a scooter was put on sale which i didn't do. The scooter's picture also contained a fraud phone number in yellow coloured font which was not mine. So i tried to deactivate my account in olx india app by going to setting, but my account was able to open again and again. So then i called olx customer service and made complaint aganist this fraud registration for which they said that they are going to deactivate the registratatoin with my number. My concerns: 1. Please confirm this registration is deactivated and no fraud can happen on this registration.
Please email me to [protected]@gmail.com or sms to my mobile number [protected] for further communication.
Looking forward for your response. Kindly reply back to me.

Dear sir/madam

Please refer to attached photo dated 18.10.2019 regarding shop for sale prominently showing photo of shop chinmay medicals. This ad was not posted by shop owner which is misleading to people.
I urge olx to remove this ad at the earliest possible and take strict action against whoever has posted this without owners consent or provide his contact details

Thank you
Proprietor

Dear team,
I have sold my car in the month of may-19 and now its nov-19. Still the ownership is not changed. Please provide me a solution asap.

The branch is olx cash my car, jp nagar branch, bangalore, karnataka
Executive name was manpreet. [protected]@olx.com

At least olx should send some email confirming or thankyou email for buying a car from me. Atleast they confirm how much they buy it from me with vehicle number/rc number/other details. Olx should follow some professional ethics or they should include some process.

Thanks
Kiran

On 2nd november 2019 a olx seller named babloo kumar (As he sent me the details including aadhar and cisf card) and selling a realme 5 pro was contacted by me. The number which he contacted me from was [protected]. I paid 500rupees via google pay as asked for courier charges. The next day i was contacted from a different number ([protected]) claiming to be army courier service and i was asked to deposit 2500more for insurance cover and after sending that too via google pay i was asked for 4180rupees more at which point i denied and told that i wont pay anymore before the package arrives at my house. From that point on the seller denied refunding any of the money paid in advance and the product was not sent to me. I have filed a general diary for fraud and need to know the steps that need to be taken for the refund.

This is harshit. Yesterday i saw the ads for activa honda on olx. I contacted to seller & he set me his documents having said that he is an indian army person. I trust him. He asked me to send rs. 3100 for transformation of the scooty to the destination. I did likewise he said but after that he sent me transport courier detail. Later i tried to contact to him but he is nt responding. Now i realised that i m victim of fraud because i found some data online against that person who is making fool to the people with different name in the name of indian army.
I request you please take immediate action against such frauder. They are misusing the name of our indian army.
I'm feeling very bad this is our country where we can't trust even on documents issued by the government.
Plz try to solve this issue & help to get me back my money.

Respected sir/madam,

This is one of the most suspicion activities rolling out in our country, as we are living digital india but now i feel i am also one of them fool.

As we pay them without knowing ups & down. Because, we truly trust our army & indian police. But some people taking advantage with there name and doing this type of fraud activities.

I seen car ad in olx site as very reasonable price, i was message them send me more pics & minimum car price. With in 15-20 minutes i got call from this no[protected] that person say (Main fauzi bhai bol raha hu, aapne olx par message bheja na, gaadi ke liye, aisa karo aapna aadhar card aur ek photu mujhe whatsapp par bhejo.. With rajasathani/haryanvi tone)
(Aapka order confirm kar ke aapko receipt bhej dunga me, aur aisa karo gaadi toh yaha se nikal jayegi aur morning me subah 5 baje aapke yaha pahuch jayegi bhai, jisme registration aur likha padi kaagaj ka 3999/- rupiye aap abhi bhar do) also he said (Main fouji hu mujhe aapke[protected] rupiye se apne wardi par daag nahi lagaana hai, kya baat kar di aapne toh) (With rajashtani/haryanvi tone..)

I totally trust on him and paid evening 29/09/2019 at 9.30pm online neft rs. 3950/-

After morning i again got call from another no[protected] saying (Aapka gaadi ka parcel nasik me pahuch gaya hai, aur insurance ka paper complete nahi hai, aap fauji bhai se baat karlo) when i call that person say (Aapko aur 7500/- rupees only pay karna hai gaadi shaam ke 5 baje tak aapke adress par pahuch jayegi) i totally refuse to pay addition amount and said i will not pay any single rupees to you further kindly deduct your travelling expenses and refund my remaning amount. (That person again try to covience me and when i totally refuse to pay then he was blackmaling me saying (Mera paas tera aadhar card hai, fauji bhai ko tumne mana kiya, sidey tarike se paises bhar nahi toh abhi police bhejeata hu tere ghar par).

Respected sir, my only request to you please look in to this type of matter, if we are educate people are scamed by them it means there are so many people also cheeted.

I have all the recording as well as pics.

Thanks.
Ravindra saroj.

My dad posted an olx ad for sofa set. Ad id: 1543386. He was approached by contact no: [protected] by phone and whatsapp. My dad later asked me to connect with this person, and take 19, 500 inr from him. The contact promised to pay the amount first, and collect items later. Transactions from my father's phone failed because his bank account is not linked properly to phonepe/upi. This man started transaction with me by first asking me to credit 5 inr.in phonepe, dual transactions happened at 10:00 am. Debit of 5 rs from my account, and credit of 10 rs to my account. Due to the credit back of 5 inr, i made the mistake of trusting this person. Here is the series of transactions that happened: debit from my account inr 5/- (10 am), credit to my account inr 10/- (10 am), debit from account inr 2000/- (10:02 am), debit from account inr 2000/- (10:08 am), debit from account inr 50/- (10:13 am), credit to my account inr 100/- (10:13 am), debit from my account inr 4000/- (10:15 am). Total debit of inr 8000 /- debited. Got card and net banking blocked at 10:42 am. The upi with whom transactions happened is [protected]@myicici

Aware of olx do not trust the army peoples until you see them with proper id proof.

I saw a seller selling activa 125cc red color with bike number mh-14-fy-9433 from seller named shailesh holani s/o govind holani on olx. He shared me his contact number as +91- (6/3/9/7/1/7/6/3/4/7) and asked to contact with him on whatsapp on this number. The price was updated as 24000/- rupees and he agreed to sell it to me for 20000 rupees. As a proof he send the bike photographs, rc and army canteen id card proof. He claimed himself as shailesh. Working in the indian army. He asked me to transfer amount of 5000 as a token amount. Still his mobile number is in active. And number using for (7/2/3/2/0/1/9/8/8/5) paytm, google pay which is linked to bank that also still active. Still it is possible to catch him. But i am from tamilnadu. I don't no any one in pune. I don't no what to do. They are cheating in the name of indian army. We peoples trusting because of the indian army name.

1. By the vehicle number you can catch the person he is the culprit and cheating or peoples are misusing his bike number.

2. Still the mobile numbers are active you can trace them.

3. Track the linked bank account with the help of google pay and paytm id.

On october 2019 another one person he too got cheated by the same person, below link for reference https://www.consumercomplaints.in/indian-army-fraud-scooty-selling-on-quikr-c248...⇄

My account linked to [protected]@gmail.com was suspended for no reason. I was about to buy a phone today but can't message seller about location due to suspension. I lost a good deal. Who will compensate?
Atleast they should give notice. I have not indulged in any illegal activity.
They are misusing their monopoly position and indulging in such unfair acrivity. This suspension message is sent to all people i dealt with in the past and my reputation has been destroyed before them.
We indians should avoid foreign player like olx.

We have searched a scooty on olx, screen shot are there in below image section. He has taken 2150 as token money from us as a name of manjeet a army man. But he again ask us for 8000 and we haven't given him the money. And he again posted the ad in olx with different number and with different pic but same scooty. Can we get our money back as i am a college student. Please help me for this
