OLX India Complaints & Reviews

So i saw an add about a mobile phone. Contacted him. He convinced me to buy. He edited pictures from the net and sent. I knew he was tricking me and right when i caught him, he stopped receiving or replying to my calls and messages. Funnily enough he blocked me on whatsapp. I didn't send him any money even though he was asking for 5k. Something needs to be done about this.

This seller : shubham goyal, is not responding after the payment of rs.2950/- for 2 tello batteries. I have transferred the amount to his oriental bank of commerce from my icici bank. After receiving payment he is stopped responding and blocked my number to avoid phone calls. Pls help.

Iv recently uploaded a add for selling my apple ipad pro 10.5inches and apple pencil worth rs 90000/- there was a guy named andy on olx he agreed to the deal and also contacted me on whats app and promised to pay as soon as the parcel is available for tracking. I did the same but he did not transfer any funds! Olx shoulf take action against such fraud ppl as they are spoiling the platform and keeping ppl scared and away from olx. I would request for his ip address so that i can rasie complaint against him with the cyber cell and local crime branch. So plz help with his ip address. He is also selling a iphone 8 plus which i guess is fraudulently taken from some buyer. Kindly provide me the ip address and his phone number that is verified at earliest. And if olx cannot help its customers i guess should stop using this platform and raise an issue against this on social platform to make ppl safe of such frauds and if olx is not supporting then against such platforms as well.
Thank you

On 24 Nov 2018, contacted olx user on [protected] for purchase of Red mi Note 5, asked me to pay courier charges 560 INR on [protected], i paid . After 3 hours received a call from [protected] to pay 2150 INR which i refused to pay.
On whats app seller shared all proofs related to Indian Army candidate, very shameful that fraud sellers are using profile of our national pride / security .

A big fraud is going on OLX by such type of sellers needs some corrective actions from the respective marketing & security service providers. All proofs are attached here for ready reference for necessary further actions from concern authorities.

My name is Sandipan Dhar and i'm from Kolkata. Recently i got ping from olx user on my whatsapp telling like he is interested in buying my Guitar. He told his mane is Richard Jones and he is contacting from america after seeing my post on olx. As he was was okay with the price we fixed the deal for rs. 28, 000/- but he ask me to send this to his son who is living in delhi because he is gifting this Guitar to his son. He ask my account details to make a payment so i shared my account number and ifsc code so he maid the payment using jp morgan chase bank which is the 4th largest bank in us. He make the payment to my account and i got email from chase bank regarding this payment but i did not received but later he ask to send the phone stating that once the bank will able to track the dtdc courier then they will process our money so i checked on google regarding this and came to know that this bank is very secure king of payment for buyer and sellers so i did courier on 23/11/2018 to his son's address in delhi . Once i got the tracking status i asked Richards to update his bank regarding this so he told that revert the email with screenshot of the tracker they will process the money i sent the screenshot but still did not get my money so i asked him to inquire about this so he went to bank and told us that bank told that they tried making payment but the money get bounce back because the minimum wire money transfer is rs. 50, 000/- so he ask me that he will transfer 18000/- extra and want us to transfer that extra amount to his son's account who is living in delhi so i agreed and i told that send 50, 000/- i'll transfer rest of the amount then he made payment of 50, 000/- to my account and sent the screenshot of the receipt and again i got the mail from chase bank stating that they deducted money form Richard's account and requested to send 18, 000 to his son's account first they only they will release the money. Then i got angry on that guy because there is no such policy for bank so i thought of stopping the dtdc courier but it is already been delivered. On the same day in evening i told that guy to share his id proof or his son'd id proof but he didn't so ask him to return the guitar back as we cannot pay 18000/- he did not informed us before doing this now he was pressuring us to follow as bank says to get the money then we ask his son's account number and he shared Name-Vungzawlching nghaihte A/C No.-[protected], IFSC Code-idbi000m089, Branch-delhi(Indian Bank). There is no such policy for minimum international payment for 50k. Got an email from bank in which they mentioned account number in which Richard was requesting to send 18k then we refuse to give money as he is not sharing any of his details and he confirmed that his son received the parcel as well so we keep telling to return but he denied so we said that will not pay money anymore but now the situation is he is telling to do it or leave it. I tried tracking that delivery address its reflecting in Dariya Ganj in delhi i also tried tracking his number that is showing from up, the address he gave is not his son neither the account number he gave is of his son there are 2-3 people involve in this fraud or may more so please investigate help in getting my Guitar or else my money. For any other details plz contact me on sandy.[protected]@gmail.com

Hello guys
There is a fraud that is in trending on olx.
I am a victim of this fraud so i am writing this to aware you guys.
If you have posted an add to sell your car on olx, there is a chance that a fraud name “vishal pandey” aka ”tarakeshwar gorakhnath pandey” might contact you, he might show interest to buy your car asap.
He might say that he is manager in icici bank nalasopara west branch.
He might come to inspect your car and will finalize it in 10 mins without doing much bargain.
He will say that he will pay you via demand draft. As he is working in bank they are allowed to pay via dd or bankers cheque. He will ask for your account details to prepare a dd / bankers cheque.
If you have a loan on your car he will say he will visit the branch and pay off the loan and rest he will pay in the form of demand draft.
If you do not have loan on your car he might pay you certain token amount via neft and rest he will pay you via demand draft or bankers cheque.
Later he will insist you to give an instant car delivery and ask you for original document along with transfer form and insurance copy.
If you agree with him that thinking you had given you a demand draft (In my case i agreed)& complete the formalities. His associates will record the entire process of signing the transfer paper and handing over the car & keep that as evidence for future. They will take delivery, signing the delivery note and would whats app you addhar card & pan card & take yours.
Now when you visit your bank next day to deposit dd, your bank might inform you that, this is not a dd instead it is a normal cheque of a saving account. When you call him and enquire about the same he will say the cheque belong to his maternal uncle, and it will clear do not worry you can deposit the cheque. When you deposit the cheque it will get returned stating signature mismatch or funds insufficient.
When you approach tarakeshwar pandey, he will give you another cheque which will get dishonored stating that’s funds insufficient. & later he might give you few more cheques which will get dishonored in the same way. None of his cheque gets cleared. (If you see his bank statement you will notice cheque in series are getting dishonored, there are no funds in his account still he is issuing cheques)
He might also send you some fake screenshot of neft. These are queued transaction (Standing instructions) which never get credited to your account.
He might also share screenshot of yes bank to prove he has balance in lacs. (He would deposit cheque for eg: 500 000/- from his federal bank which might have balance of 100/- to his yes bank when the cheque comes for clearing at yes bank it will display ledger balance of 500000/- in his yes bank account. He will take screenshot of it and will share that with every one stating he has balance in his account and will give fake promises.)
All the cheques used for these transactions are from federal bank malad west & thane manpada branch & yes bank.
He will keep answering all your call and will make fake promises.
He use all this tricks just to consume time, and meanwhile his associate car dealer would sell that car to any third party. (If your car gets transferred you cannot get your car back)
And when you approach the legal system they might tell you this is 138 case of cheque bounce and you need to do it via civil court. When you approach civil court you have to pay case fees as well hire advocate and it generally takes around 3 - 6 years for the 138 case to get resolved.
You might not be able to file an fir or take any legal action. Hence you need to rely on fake promises.
Till the time you rely on fake promises. Your car is sold to a third party usually outside states, so it’s very difficult to trace the car.
He does not have a fix address where he can be traced.
The modus operandi of this crime is to give fake cheques and sell the car outside maharashtra mainly in up.

If you have been victim of this type of fraud please contact local authority as soon as possible.
This is a big racket and needs to be exposed.
Many people from vasai, nalasopara, mulund, thane, andheri are victim of this fraud.

I will soon share contact & gang members details of this fraud.

For my ad in olx (Nikon d7000 +lens+flash) a person (Tonya reesh) replied and asked to contact them by email. Once contacted they said they have made the transfer from the bank and only approved on receiving the shipment. Sent spam emails in the bank name and then constantly bothering me with emails. Attaching screenshots of the same. Please take the necessary action.

Kept an ad regarding to sell iphone locked carrier and as my inbox was coming up messages reading one by one. One user with service centre as his profile name and olx member since november 2018 kept the message briefing that he can do unlock for that mobile and gave his whatsapp number +[protected] name is santosh and he works in apple care centre and said that he is an online world wide unlocked and having many contacts in every state. He had sent me the screenshots of the money paid by online and it is purely genuine. He asked to pay 7000₹/- for the unlock if it doesn’t work he will return the full money. I paid him the amount and he gave me reply after sometime stating that the mobile is clear to unlock but there is a situation after unlocking it may be again locked after 1 or 2 or in few days.
So instead to avoid that he offered me a brand new phone unlocked with 2 years warranty in exchange my phone by asking 5000₹/- extra so that he can delivered the new phone on the same day. Again i transferred the 5k and after sometime he called me and said a new buyer is also looking for the new phone and he is going to keep 2 new phones online order so that his contacts in my place would deliver by that night and later he said he was not having enough funds for both of them 9500₹/- less he said
So i transferred by asking my friends two of them and sent to him twice 5k and 4500.
Later by that night he again ping me and asking for 1000₹/- as he should pay to the delivery office dtdc so that delivery guy would delivered to you and i had sent him 1000₹. After 10 minutes he said that he didn’t received 1k and asking for another 1k as he said that bank online system was slow. I didn’t paid to him. The courier boy didn’t courier any parcel to me as he said to them cancel the order i requested him to send me the tracking order so that i can find and see or else i can pay him 1k at my home. Till now i had paid him 22500₹/- and i didn’t received and any courier and i asked him to return my money he said ok send me the bank details i had sent him till now no money was deposited he said that wait for two days i’ll transfer to you money.
Now he blocked my contact in whatsapp
