OLX India Complaints & Reviews

Attached was the advertisement I got cheated on, not a huge sum but for 800 rupees that i was told as a negotiate price for this radio since this was the one that was similar to the one at my home when I was a child and this was at a time when television was rare and this piece of instrument had entertained the family for a decade.So I was told that the courier shall be done post receiving the money and unfortunately I trusted this guy who shared his photo Id and the bank documents that increased my trust in him..
There is no where OLX is at fault, and I know the amount I have spent is not going to return back so just wanted to ensure this man doesn't cheat anyone again..
And it would be of huge help if there is a way I can be communicated in case such a radio comes again so I can purchase..
Name of the Seller was Vishwanathan
Two contact numbers were given that is +[protected] and +91 [protected]..Both are now switched off WhatsApp messages are getting ready but no reply..
There are many products I have bought through olx and apart this one everything was upto my expectations, so thanks and all the best but ensure such scams are avoided..I would appreciate your reply to me at [protected]

Hi,

With reference to the ad on OLX, I contacted the person for the iphone 7 buying.
The persone name is BALAJI RAVI, TAMILNADU.

After taking the voter card softcopy by mail "[protected]@yahoo.com", after verifiying the bank details, I transferred the intial amount of 15000 INR to the bank account.
BALAJI told us that after receiving amount he will start the shipment of the mobile and will provide us the IMEI number and tracking ID.
ONCE phone will be received, You can check in nearest apple store that the mobile is genuine or not.
post verification remaining amount can be sent.

The reason given for the lesser amount of phone that "reliance warehouse giving the cell phones in half price to the employees, so he was selling these and getting some profit"
We had contacted to the nearest reliance store to get it verified.

once the amount was transferred, he started giving reasons fornear about two weeks. My husband was taking follow up with him and he was lying.
The moment i said that my husband will not be handlling the issue and i will be taken care of this deal, he switched off the cell.
And its been a week he is not picking up his call.

If anyone knows this person can contact me, need help to sorting it out.

I posted an advertisement for selling a laptop on olx, when a person named Adria Barnett contacted me, saying she is from USA and needs it for an orphanage. It seemed fishy as the amount she was paying was twice what I asked for. Further she was asking for following details

Holders Name:
Account Number"
Ifsc Code"
Bank Name:
Email Address

I searched for the this name and found that there are previous complaints on similar name and similar nature

Please take actions so that any gullible person may not be trapped.

Sir in olx the real estate seller all are brokers. Not a owners of land/house/selling assets. It is only helpful to brokers. They will demand commission from claint it is fully illegal. So plz don't encourage such useless broker's.in real estate details house for rent or sell or other catagary, all add photos uploaded by brokers, not by owner plz avaide such persons, becz they miss use customers they demand brokerage amount lack together. So plz avaide. We are middle class people. They will hike the property value.

I got an add of german shepherd puppy male on the site with contact number [protected]. When i contated him, he told his name gaurav. After that he sent me railway receipts of previous booking to getting faith upon him. Afterwards he sent some pics of puppy amd ask me to transfer money in his account. But since one moth he is only bluffing with me about delivery and not picking up phone. Please look into the matter as it is not only the matter of fraud but issue regarding prestige of olx site. Feel free to contact me any time regarding issue.

Thanking you

I am from bhilai. People here are selling seal packed "mi" brand mobile phones higher than its price. Like if the price of phone is 9000 rs they are selling it for about 9300 to 10000 rs. No one can sell a product higher than mrp. People are misusing olx platform for their bussiness.
Another complaint i want to talk about is people are selling duplicate or its replica at the price of original product which is fraud. All those ads must be blocked.

I saw an add on olx which is deleted now.
I contacted him and he told he is going to send it by next day and said to pay 3000 before shipment then afterwards his mobile is switched off... I paid 3000 for it. Its totally spam. I have his bank account details and mobile number.

Please say what i can do. I visited police station they telling to go cyber crime office. But i dint went there.

Dear OLX Support Team,
Greetings !!

I had seen an add on OLX HTTPs://WWW.olx.in/item/garden-table-with-chair-ID16LzDR.html as i was looking for furnitures for my Balcony. Spoke to Kavita Agarwal ([protected]) & Shariq ([protected]) agreed to Rs.4000 but when i reached their house all the way from Basavanagudi to Singasandra which took me more than 2Hrs because of the extremely heavy traffic from Jayadeva Hospital to Silkboard they said they will sell the furniture for Rs.5000/- after a thought I agreed to their demand because it took me a very long time to reach this place and i was totally frustrated hence agreed to pay Rs.5000 and after a while they said they don't want to sell their furniture. I was completely pissed off cause i had spent Rs.645/- to reach their place to pick the furniture and these Insane stupid couples goofed up.
I request OLX to take strict actions against these ###### Insane Couples and teach them some professional manners.

Thank you.
Warm Regards
Rajiv G.

The owner delivered a non functional fridgeon 9th of june 2017 and collected the entire payment Rs 7500, however the initial confirmation payment of Rs 200 was done via paytm . later he sent his technician after repeated calls (after a week) who took the motherboard of the fridge. Now its been almost two weeks and still there is no help infact neither the technician nor the owner is picking the call, they has blocked us.

I would a refund immediately as that is the least i expect from olx and those suppliers.

It would be grateful if stringent actions can be taken against them, also they have a whole electronics shop in lalbaug bangalore called Smart elctronics

I have been a victim of fraud where the person lured me to buy a product on the one of the most trusted sellers olx, he said he has sent a parcel, there was also a dm-message generated to make me believe that this is all genuine, it has been three days now and i have not yet received any package, the person had said that he had the parcel from speed post courier from surat, a partial amount of money has been already transferred to his paytm account and before i could that i have checked the details and it showed the seller was verified and hence i had no ambiguity to go ahead and make a payment

His details:
Persons name: mohammed. Munnabhai. Ratlamwala.
Address: 103 wahed mansion dehla. Moh rustampura surat.395007
P no: [protected], [protected]

Request you to kindly be cautious and have an alert in place to track these kind of fraudsters, i have made multiple purchases on olx and never ever had such a disastrous experience, consumer like me do not go by the seller, we go by the brand olx, assuming there would be minimum guarantee or safety for the payments that we make, i would like my money to be refunded and would like the olx team to take stern action against these kind of fraudsters, i would like the amount to be refunded as quick as possible, any assistance in this regards would be very much appreciated

I had bought a fridge and washing machine through a seller through olx. He promised one year free service warranty. After transportation of fridge, unknowingly we switched it on when we were not supposed to. When we called the seller he told he will send his service people and maybe take some charge. We agreed. We have been calling him for two days and he has been ignoring our complaints and postponing the service. Gake promises and fake warranty. A new fridge is lying waste in the house because of a faulty seller we found through olx. I request you to contact the seller and get back to us.
Seller : sk electronics, frazer town

Following are the accounts which you have banned so far from time to time:

With reference to ad id ad id: [protected] posted in olx on 5th of june, 2017, i contacted the seller through olx user interface. The seller then contacted me the following day and i agreed to buy the fridge for rs 5000. The item was supposed to be delivered on 8th june, but on repeated phone calls and rescheduling they finally delivered the item on 11th june, sunday. Prior to that day, on saturday night, these guys made me wait till midnight in the hope of delivering the product. However, after one hour of settling down the product, as directed by these guys, i switched it on. But the refrigerator could not cool or form ice even after being kept on overnight. Post that they stopped picking up my call. When contacted by my friend who put me in conference mode, the matter was brought up with the owner. He promised that his repair guy would reach within an hour, and fix the problem. That guy mentioned that the gas had leaked and refilled the gas. But still no cooling happened. Its been four days (Today is 15th june) and they have refused to take my calls and if i call from an unknown number, and they happen to pick up they will disconnect it right away. The shop is smart electronics, #4/1, 5th cross, lalbagh road, bangalore. Phone numbers:- [protected]/[protected] (Qureshi)/ [protected] (Jaffar).

I am disgusted with olx for again allowing this fraudulent seller on their website within month of the first complaint by one mr. Mukhopadhay. They delivered the fridge after repeated calling for 2 days, yesterday. Right after keeping the fridge they advised me to not put it on before 1 hour. After 2 hours i put it on, but the fridge didn't cool for the entire night, forget about forming ice. Today i have called them to come by 12, but they are not picking up my call. They have even blocked one of my sims. This is smart electronic​
