OLX India Complaints & Reviews

Hi Team

Need your urgent assistance here!!

There was an add in OLX for sofa and dining table.

Dining table of 15, 000Rs in name of Rajesh [protected]. He introduced himself working in airforce check-in department pune lohegaun.

As he said he is busy with his duty and about to relocate in next two days, and asked me to finish the deal as early and ready to negotiate. Final deal got done in 10000 upon which he gave me his army canteen I'd card photo along with adhar photo to confirm his identity.

I didn't think much as the person is a government official and confirmend his identity. He asked me to pay 3100rs as advance so he can send me the goods via airforce courier itself mad shared me the pic of it.

When I transfer the money through Google pay of rs3100, I got a call stating that my goods got loaded and will reach me in next 2 hours. But mean while I got call from one more person who claims him as the delivery guy with phone no- [protected] asked me to pay 2000 extra to tkae the shipment out of army area. I got suspicious and called him to refund after that the cell got switched off.

Plz refer the attached screenshot and the I'd prrofs provided and get back to me for further queries if required.
This seems to be a big scam and many more people got cheated the same way.

Plz need your urgent action and response to ge this sorted.

Thanks and Regards in advance.

Sir i am an olx seller i was posted my 2 cycles to sell a person whose contact no is [protected] olx user wanted to buy them and then we will discuss about payment he was said that he is in army and do payment via phone pay. I am dont have phone pay no so i gave my relative no. But the person send them phone pay request to take money from my relative and my relatives 4300 rupees was transferred into the frauds account a humble request to olx to take a response on my complaint. On the app the buyers dont have address. Date of incident is 3may 2019. A request of refund if possible. Plz refund my money.

Olx has done this the 3rd time. Firstly they sent me link to pay 199 and activate my ad when i paid then they changed status to expired inspite of calls and mail no action taken.
Mow recently i paid rs499 and posted my ad on 25th april which was valid till 25th may. Now when i want to activate their customer care says wait for one month. This is really ridiculous and they are taking money without giving the customer to do whatever in the period for which payment is made. I want to file consumer complaint against them

I sold my car Hyundai Elite i20, registration number MH43 AR9456 at OLX cashmycar Indiranagar, Bengaluru center on 12th Jan'19.

It's been more than 90 days and I am yet to receive the RC transfer documents.

I was contacted twice by OLX cashmycar team in last 90 days to re-share my documents (which I have already submitted while selling the car) but no update since then.

In plus 6t fraud... Named as armymen sommnath gill. They have taken 18000 money from paytm and demanding more 9250 for security charges i am having 3 phone no. Listed below
[protected] call himself as sommnath and truecaller name i umesh kumar
Please help me to get my money if not please find that guy so he or anyone else never dare to do such things by taking the name of our indian army..

I have a serious issue regarding the olx fraudulent case. On the olx app, i have been trying to do a purchase of mobile through this platform. The cost of the mobile was of 22000 inr amount. I have paid all the amount through e-wallet service of paytm to the dealer. Now the dealer has taken the accountability to send the phone (Apple iphone) through "indian army" courier package and the name of the dealer was manjeet hawaldar of the bsf. After this, the dealer tried to send a courier boy (That doesn't come at our place). That was fake and gimmick and tried to mislead us.

Now please resolve this issue asap. I have lost my hard earned money in the name of the indian army and the personnel of bsf.

Contact no.-

Iam ayush kumar, a student of gav public school kangra, himachal pradesh-176001
With due respect i want to tell you that as this year i appeared for cbse 2018-19, class 12.
As now i have completed my 12 class i desired for a smartphone from my father for my future competitive studies and my father was ready for it. I browsed my smartphones online but i wished only for a low cost but efficient smartphone. So i went on olx and searched for vivo v11pro.
There i met a person named vikas patel who was selling the phone in a very good condition at rs. 8000 so i agreed to it.
I contacted him on whatsapp where he sent me photos of the phone as attached below along with his photos to show that he is in indian army and i was sure that an army person could never lie.
Then he asked me to wait for the next day and the courier will be handed to me by the courier boy next morning.
I was very excited that morning but then a call came at 9:00am that sir your order has reached kangra and it will be delivered to you only when you pay the security charge of rs. 3150 which is been laid by the owner on the product and same was said by the owner to me on phone and said that the remaining amount of rs. 4850 is to be paid on delivery.
I agreed to it and paid 3150 on his following details —
Account number :[protected]
Ifsc code — pytm0123456
Then he again called me and asked me to pay the remaining amount of rs. 4850 and the courier will be handed over to me within 5minutes. I did as he asked me to do so.
I made him first payment on paytm through upi access and then through someone's paytm
Then he asked me to deposit rs. 5100 as security charge and said its just for confirmation and it will be given back to you within a minutes into the same account from which the amount has been transferred. Then i took a loan of firstly rs. 5100 from my landlord and deposited the money as he said me to do. After the payment he again asked me to do the payment of rs.5100 as payment was shown to him as pending.
I again took rs. 5100from my landlord and paid the money. Then he again asked me to do the payment but i realised that he was fooling me so i refused him and cried that i dont need your phone and i want all my money back. He agreed for it and asked my account number along with ifsc code. After crying in front of him for continuous 2hours he agreed for the payment but he hacked my account and withdrew rs. 10000more from my account. As i came to know about it i went to my nearest bank and blocked my account. I continuously called him, begged him to return my money but asked me to deposit 4100 more to his account only then he would transfer the money. But i refused to do so because i had zero balance in my bank account.
Sir/madam its my humble request to you to look into this matter and provide a strict action against this. Now being a student i have a loan of rs. 20000 on my shoulders of which my parents are unknown. I dont even want to tell them because my father is an economics lecturer and he goes to his service 130km apart from our residence daily. Also my mother is a teacher in shimla. So here iam only under the supervision of my father who is already suppressed under severe tensions of my carrier.
Consider me as your own son please provide me a solution to it.

This man advertised to sell his motor bike. Against his ad for bajaj pulsar rs 200, i contacted him on the phone. He posed as an army personnel and requested me to pay 2100/-by paytm firstly because he required money for billing of which the bike i preferred to buy and the rest of money he said after the delivery. He has taken entire price of rs40000/- but he is not supplying me with the item he had advertised in olx.in.
I helped him as a mark of respect for the indian army cisf personnel
I, though the good offices of olx want my money back.

I recently posted an ad on OLX regarding a lehenga costing 13, 500rs. I got a request from US guy named Nicholas thomas working at some army apparently not later i got to know. After several exchanges of messages through whatsapp i shipped my dress paying 5000 from my pocket for shipping chargers on 23/04/2019 and he was saying once my bank will release the funds only after checking your shipment ID and i got confirmations too but today morning the bank sent due to insufficient balance in his account you should deposit 30, 000rs and we will deduct later, Once we felt something fishy and started asking they in turn sent please send 11, 000 this is final warning else it will go to FBI.

Seriously? which bank does all this, the bank doesn't know he has no balance ? or they are a group of fraudsters??i sold for my college fees kindly please help me, now i dont have single paise. My wedding dress and my money is also gone. The bank name is Pacific marine credit union.
Please kindly do something to get my shipping money back and item if possible, please please do something, its really disheartening when those fraudsters scold us back and dont respond to anything but just sit there and laugh at Indians, they are just fooling us .

In olx i saw an offer for iphone se in 7500 i bargained and managed for 4000. He said to send token amount of 500 we paid him through online banking. Then he asked for half the amount of 1500, instead we paid 2000. Then he said to talk to military courier department head and the man said to deposit 7000 as a security deposit as the seller aka srikanth who claimed to be a military man has hold the parcel and this amount would be 100% refundable. After this transaction the courier man again asked for 5150 as the parcel was stuck for more than 72 hours so this would be charged and refunded and i told srikanth to arrange money as we ran out of it, but still we were able to arrange 3000 and he said to pay the rest. After this the military courier service man asked to deposit more 5100 as he claimed that there have been 2 different transactions so the computer didn't accept and create otp. After this heavy transactions, he said that more of 2777 was required to verify the otp. This led us to doubt, as the otp which was send in my phone was olx login otp which is an alternative to the password. Then we searched in the google about the military courier service and saw the cases of fraud shared by people in online platform and i saw the same aadhar card and story of srikanth. Irrespective of the fact, i transferred him the asked amount, 2777 because they told that the phone will be delivered tomorrow i. E 26 april 2019 as we thought that if they switched off their phone
And the police would not be able to trace him and we have proof of transaction and call. We also have his aadhar card and ptm bank details.

The total amount he fraud of is 21, 927 is 8 different transactions. If you could help me, i would be very grateful towards you as the man has not only fooled me but many in the name of "military man's words and honesty"

In thanking you, i remain,

Yours sincerely,
Akash devnath
