Address: India

Hello, I was looking for scooty for my Father in olx. I came across one scooty honda activa 5g 2019 model of no. (MH31 Fk 5787) for 24000 rupees, he contacted me through his mobile no. [protected] as name of Arun Rana. He said he is an Indian Army and sent me documents like Army ID, Aadhar card, Activa 5g RC book, Bike Insurance paper, Bikes images. Based on this i believed on him to bye moped as he said in the name of Indian army. I asked for Field verification but he said his bike is in Mumbai, so he will send via army fast post. For that He asked to pay 2120 Rs. as the transportation charge from Mumbai to my home town delivery. As my stupid trust on him, I sent 2120 rs. on other PAYTM bank account number [protected] which shared by him as the name of Army Transport. And for the transport as home delivery, he has also asked for my Aadhar card images for the my address purpose.

So, I am kindly requesting you to take serious action against them this is happening not only with me but also so many poor and middle-class people as I have read into your this portal in the name of OlX and other complaints. Nowdays this is going big scam on OLX site.

Please, sir/mam, I want my money bag, I am belonging to a poor family and I am only Student. also, he has my Aadhar card images so may be he can take advantages in further fraud, i have fear about this.
Please take immediate action against them as possible as and resolve it.
I am attaching all documents which he shared and payment receipt.

Thank you advance.

Thank you Mahadeo Bramhankar for sharing this information. Aaj maine bhi google pe gadi search ki to droom.in pe muze same gadi MH31FK5787 ki selling add dikhi.maine waha diye gaye no. Pe contact bhi kiya. Usne muze same details bheje CISF me job karta hu bole. Gadi apke ghar me Army ki gadi se ayegi 2100 pay karna pdega bole...27500/- ki gadi hai bole and 25000/- me denge bole. Abhi wo Aurangabad-Jalna me posting hai bole and maine pucha aap gadi q bech rahe ho to bole ki mera abhi Jammu me transfer ho raha hai to isliye vaha pe vehicle use nahi kar sakte. Fir maine google me Unki gadi ka registration no. Google pe search kiya tab muze pata chala ki ye fraud hai... aise fraudsters pakde jane chahiye... ye aise roj kitne logo k sath fraud karte honge ... Is baar to ye pakde jana chahiye...
