I did a terrible mistake. I should have researched first. So, I called a number after seeing an ad on olx.in about an activa 5G selling at 20000. I was suspicious as this was super cheap. But i took the shot and proceeded with it. The guy, posing as Vikas patel, with a picture of an army personnel, talked smoothly and sent pictures of acooty, helmet, vehicle getting packed, and keys and RC. I, after believeing this all to be legitimate transferred 2000 rs via UPI and waited for the delivery. Just to check i went online and found exact same case of fraud and exact same pictures of packaging and the guy himself online who is involved in same kind of fraud. Anyways, i got a call from apparently the driver who spoke harshly like how can you say this about an army guy and stuff and demanded 5500 rs. To deliver in order to get some GST permission and other crap. I have understood by now that this is a scam and I have been a victim. So I called vikas patel and tried to tell this but he became rude and now saying money will be refunded in some days. Help me out here olx team.
To everyone else, stay vigilante and safe
