[Resolved]  Olx India — complaint regarding suspicious buyer

I posted an ad for sell of steel cupboard. I received a call from so called Rahul (Mob No [protected]) I insisted for cash payment. In spite of this he asked me to accept payment through UPI Paytm and instantly sent a QR code on WhatsApp asking me to scan it to receive payment. I refused to do so. He was insisting that he had sent Rs 2000 and said that press the pay button. He further said that if I do not do so he would lodge a complaint with police. I have told him not to phone or send any message on my no. I have posted similar message on OLX and also on his WhatsApp. It appears that this so called Rahul is suspicious buyer. This incident is brought to your notice for necessary action.
