OLX India Complaints & Reviews

I faced fraud/ scam using qr code on olx platform. The numbers are being shared to third party unauthorized users to call directly and scam sellers. I have been victim of 30000.00/-

I had posted ad to sell my furniture. There were few buyers interested and and few had requested my CONTACT number to discuss. However i got a call from unknown number immediately after posting the ad and offered to buy. Their were actually ready to pay the moment I lift the call but I said once come and see the product then decide they said no need of it we work in furniture business and will come next day with servants to take it . Next day the person spoke convincingly and requested for details to transfer the amount even though I asked liquid cash she said wouldn't happen half half amount can be given she then gave to her husband and He used his qr code to show that money can be received by using a small transaction (I.e., 5 rupees) by clicking to times which I received. When i entered a big amount of 5000.00 for two time scan and i lost 10000 he immediately said that transaction failed and to retry again. As my balance got nil he said their should be minimum 5000 so it's me who dont know about this qrcode procedure or method of accessing it I tried from my dad PAYTM account for 10000 rupess refund qrcode and again lost more 20000 By this time i got suspicious as the amount got deducted and realized i have been a victim of qr code scam. When i asked him to return back the money he refused to it kept his phn switched off for few minutes and also cut the call mANY TIMEs and when we tried to phone them with other number the man used abusive words to me which I really cant take up as a girl, so I immediately took an daring step to FIR the case through CYBER CRIME later When we opened the OLX app they mention not to do any transactions with them, but it was too late for them to inform as it didn't appear in an alert notification so I request OLX to please help me get through this situation as it is so traumatizing mentally and please help me get my money back.
Their phone numbers are ( [protected]) and ([protected]) with names on OLX POOJA SHARMA but true caller shows DEEPAK SHARMA and mentioned her husband as SANDEEP SHARMA, this Sandeep ### really spoke very bad I would like to u take immediate action on them and get my money back please. I will also provide the photos of then from WhatsApp profile picture and also had the recording of talking ### to me.

THIS CASE WAS NOT RESOLVED SO IAM POSTING IT AGAIN, PLAESE I REQUEST YOU TO KINDLY HELP ME GET MY MONEY RECOVERY PLEASE.

For no reason, Olx has suspended my account . I have never sold anything yet from my account and there is no proper explanation or mail given by olx as to why this has happened.

I have become the victim of losing rs. 30000 when I tried to sell my sofa. One person called me and asked me to share the contact no. He told he will buy the item and agreed to send the money. He sent me qr code which directed me to send the amount to his account. I have been cheated. It's purely olx fault.

Olx people are so unprofessional they have banned my account for no reason why they advertise so heavily if they do not want people to sell on their site .
i made an ad to sell a commercial vehicle, without any confrontation in between of my chats they suspended my account.
If this is the attitude towards clients in a public forum which olx india, nobody would get any privacy in anything

Hi I have tried to buy canon 6d through olx. This guy Amit kumar said he is an army officer and he will send it through some army postal service and it will reach to me in 24 hrs. So Initially I believed since he is an army officer. I have send 2000 as advance and 4200 as some army security fee .
then I'm just searching for this specific Indian army postal service and realised there is no such thing

Dear Olx Team,

I have sold my vehicle to OLX auto on 8-Jan-22, my vehicle number is MH14 EU 0674.

As per your promise I should get the pending amount of Rs. 5000 in 3-4 days after vehicle sale. As of today I didn’t got it, i am continuously in touch with your sales or marketing representative but no assurance yet.

This is very abnormal that even after 60 days of vehicle sale, I didn’t got the remaining amount, kindly do the needful as soon as possible so the pending amount credit to my account.

This is very humiliating and frustrating.

Thanks,
Mangesh Malpure.

Hi Team,

I have added a furniture add today costing Rs 1200/- and asked to contact me after 6 PM as I was busy with my office work. But suddenly a person named Rahul Agarwal started calling me again and again after making a deal on OLX. I called him back and discuss about deal, I told him to visit and check then pay but he wanted to close the deal by updating the status of product as sold. Then he did a small transaction of Rs 2 and it was -2, +2&+2 means Rs 2 credited to my account and till I think about it, further he made me to scan QR code and did transaction of Rs 1200/- which was only debit and then it clicked me that I have been cheated. I asked many times to return and he wanted me to scan more but I did not do. He abused and disconnected.

I have recordings, screenshots and everything. This type of person must be caught and given strict penalty and should be behind the bar. I don't know how many others are cheated this way. Please take immediate action as soon as possible.

He called from [protected] (Name in True Caller: Rahul Agarwal)
Paytm QR Code scanned name: Santanu Mishra.

I talked to OLX team, they said this happens and they will try to defend such things from next time.. Who is responsible for this ? They don't do kyc o[censored]sers. They only take location of seller and not buyer which is a flaw in their system. Because of this one can not trace such fraud.

Where should I go ? Where should I do complaint ? One must take action and prevent others..

Someone else has used my number in an olx advertisement. I did not put any advertisement in olx but i am receiving a lot of calling regarding the advertisement. Kindly solve the issue and remove the advertisement. My number is [protected] and people are asking me regarding a fridge sale. Kindly please remove that advertisement. I could not add any screenshot as I couldn't find the ad but people have been calling me for it.

Olx continuously banning all my accounts for no reason.. this is very disgusting

Dear Team,

First of all I am totally disappointed and skeptical about how far the application is safe.
I have turned on my safety modes in the application and have added 5 ads to sell my textbooks.
The safety detection mechanism in your application totally failed in assessing how genuine the buyer who is reaching out to me .!!
Why hasn’t you app warned me prior to interacting with a buyer on the degree of the intention of him.
Due to the flaw in your system I had to loose Rs.350/- today.
It might be a small amount to the person reading my mail be but to a certain section of your customers ( cheated by your app) I cannot even imagine the loss they are undergoing.
I need an immediate compensation for my loss.

Olx people are so unprofessional they have banned my account for no reason . I have send multiple mails to olx team but they did nothing. why they advertise so heavily if they do not want people to sell on their site. i just posted some items to sell. Email id is kapil.[protected]@gmail.com
