[Resolved]  Olx India — fraud in name of indian army - fake profile in the name of army in olx

Hi team, I have received this sale offer in olx with Olx Profile name Deepak Singh (with mobile no. [protected]) for 2018 model of TVS NTORQ at Rs.30, 000 on 22nd Aug 2020. The person told be that he is from indian army and wants to sell this new scooty because he recently purchased Bullate bike and wants to pay after selling this scooty. Once the deal was finalised at 30, 000 i paid him Rs.3150 as advance payment in account of name with Ratiram, in Account No.[protected], IFSC Code - PYTM0123456, with his promise to deliver scooty after two and half hour at my residence in Rohini Sector 1, Delhi.
At night same day on 22nd Aug 2020, i received this call from some parcel guy asking to make another payment of Rs. 22250 as postal charges in account with name Indian Army postal service for insurance of the scooty. This thing raise a doubt about the fraud and i asked him to pay him in cash in person, but he refused to meet in person and later on also refused to deliver the scooty.
Now, since then, I am continuously getting this call to pay the postal charges. And when I asked for the return of my money he is making false excuses. I complained about this to OLX, they suspended the account ad and said this number is already blocked.

I request the administration to take the necessary action against the given person and help us to recover our hard earned money or let us know the other recourse to get the same.

Attached are the related pics and docs shared by the said person.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Md Irshad Alam
