No idea ... I got the ad from olx

I recently came across an ad in olx which was a lg 1.5 ton dual inverter ac. I contacted the seller and he gave me his number. After 2 days i decided to get the product. He said he is transferred from chennai to mumbai and he has left his things here for selling. He said once i give my consent he’ll proceed for delivery through army postal service in pallavaram chennai. The total deal was for 17 k. He said i should pay 2100 for delivery first and rest 14900 after delivery. He sent the bill, his id aadhar etc.. After i paid 2100 he sent a bill for 2100 delivery challan. Then he called me and asked for 5100 advance for the ac. I agreed and sent 5100.. Later i got a call from delivery guy saying he’s in my vicinity and asked me to pay the rest of the amount.. I said no and also told him that the seller did not say like that.. I immediately called the seller and told him about the situation. He also asked me to pay the full amount.. I refused and asked them to deliver first.. They said it’s their procedure to do like that. I said i don’t want the ac and asked for the refund.. He started to talk about his family and promised on them saying that he’s genuine.. I checked in the internet and found that it’s a fraud and a lot of people have been fooled like this.. Beware these people are frauds and are very convincing including the truecaller names and phone pe name. I have added the pictures for proof with their phone number.
