I ordered a golden retriever puppy by one of the adds in olx in new delhi.. He asked me to submit half amount in advance and half at delivery.. He gave me his driving license photo and account number.. I transferred him rs.5000, he told me he will deliver the puppy after 5 hours to transfer as the puppy is coming from dewhere in punjab.. But then he started making excuses and started convincing us to give full payment.. When we denied.. He was abusive with us.. Now its been more than 10 days niether the puppy is delivered nor he is ready to return the money.. He was a certified olx seller.. We trusted olx and not that buyer that is why we made the deal.. I made the payment on 15th august 2017 and the number registered of the buyer is [protected].. I want olx should come into this scenario and help me get my money back as it was because of them i came in contact with that buyer..

The ad was about iphone 7 32gb model. The seller took rs. 29000 in total. He sent me a fake dtdc courier receipt, i believed and sent money. I called him and threatened to go to the police, he said "police kya karegi sahab. Harami kaa zamana hai, phone bhi nahi milega, paise bhi nahi." (What will police do. You'll neither get phone not the money.). I registered a complaint in olx support. It said that the ad would be deleted but it's still active.

Though my cycle from six months it was in my compound only within the gate locked but it was safe. The day i added in olx it is stolen take this as an compliant and repay my loss other wise i will take an action that it becoming good for robbers to find a n location thru our given mobile number and steel.

We bought a washing machine from mr. Qureshi on 7th august through olx india.
We were promised 1year warranty on motor and service, but the seller does not pick our calls any more.
We could not get a demo at the time of buying it as the inlet pipe was smaller in size when compared to the tap.
We have it fixed now and have found out that the drum does not spin at all.
We were not given a bill as well.
Below are the numbers

I got the message from this number. +[protected]. He see my olx ad and contacted me. He offer 32000 on laptop and 3000 on shipping charges. Total he offered 35000 to me. Unfortunately i delivered my laptop to the given address. He didn't give my money i lost my shipping charges and my laptop. His google plus profile name is dugles eric. And he introduced as an army man. Now he asking rs 15000 for tax to transfer the 35000 on my account. If olx didn't make any action, he will cheat more people.

My account was banned, seemingly because i was travelling abroad
This is not a realistic expectation form olx! How can it expect its users not to travel abroad or uninstall its app each time someone leaves the country.

And they banned my account for without any intimation whatsover

I had to create a second account using my phone number, and i cannot link my email to this account because it is banned.br...

I was desperately looking for this particular phone for years and finally came upon this ad where this person named JAFFER SHERIFF was selling this mobile.i contacted him and asked him if he can ship the phone to me in Kolkata from Bengaluru and he said yes and provided his bank a/c details to me and asked me to transfer rs.650 for the phone along with shipping cost.i did the same since i had no other option because i needed the phone and so i trusted him blindly.next day he replied that speed post is not accepting mobile so he will send it by professional courier.after that from 8th august till today, 10th august, i kept on writing him in olx but he stopped replying.i even tried contacting him on the number he provided me but it seems fake and does not exist.till today morning, his account was active but now his a/c is inactive and the ad is no longer available.i request olx to porvide me his original regd.mobile number to me so that i can file a complaint against him in local police station from online fraud or olx to contact him.i am also providing his bank a/c detials which he provided me to transfer the money and if olx check the conversation in between him and me, they will get all the information.please help me recovering my money.i know paying in advance to someone is not right but i was helpless since i badly needed the antique phone and in greed of getting that, i paid him in advance.below i m providing the complete details of the bank account details he provided me to transfer the amount of rs.650 and i did the same from my icici bank a/c through IMPS.i have also copied and pasted here the olx conversation i have with me which happened but i cannot see the beginning part of the conversation., not even in archive, the file is present.i will request olx to have a look at it and help me recover the money from these criminals and online fraudsters.regards.

Seller : rakesh das
Phone no provided by seller : [protected]

Everything was fine until the police rang and said the phone was stolen and it was tracked to me. Why can't olx verify the items and allow sellers to sell.? Expected olx to be a better company.

I bought a table fan for 800 rupees and he also told "I give you a guarantee of 6 months". But next day it stopped working and when I tried contacting him he was cutting my calls.
Then finally once he picked the call and started telling do whatever I don't care I won't give you your money or help you. He said"police ko leke aao" I don't care and then he ended my call.
Next time whenever I tried calling him he simply received it and kept it unanswered.pls help
