[Resolved]  Olx India — fraud by indian army officer sanjay singh

I devesh pandey has posted an advertisement on olx app for my house to be given on rent. Yesterday i received a call from a man referring himself as sanjay singh, an indian army officer with regard to the advertisement. He said that he has been transferred to jhansi and is looking for a house to relocate his family. I asked him to send his identity card for verification so he sent me his aadhar card, pan card, army ration card and a photograph which i believe is also fake. He said he shall deposit the entire rent and one month security amount in my account immediately, for which he asked for my upi id. He then said that army doesn't allow account to account transfer and will have to send it throyigh a merchant portal. He said that since the amount is big so he will have to do transaction in parts and asked me to send him ₹5000 instead saying that it works that way in army and he will transfer the amount after he receive the payment from my end. I transferred ₹5000 and ₹2000 in two transactions. When i did not recieve the money i become suspicious and searched the internet with his name and i found out that he has cheated many people in a similar manner. I have been cheated of ₹7000. Kindly take strict action against this person and return my hard earned money. I made the payment through gpay and paytm respectively.
