[Resolved]  Olx India — fraud of a sum of rs 25, 000

Address:sontoshpur station road kolkata 700141, 700141

Last day i came through an olx user from whom we planned to buy an iphone 11 pro (Bargained value= rs. 40, 000). He claimed he is from the army and wont be able to meet in person with the product. He also claimed that his sister is in the hospital and he needed money which is why he wanted to sell his device so urgent. He first took a deposited amount of rs. 10, 000 and it was declared that the rest 30k will be paid after the delivery is done. Later, he again asked for another 10k claiming the courier service is having some issues with the delivery. We did pay the another 10k. Again, he asked for another 5k also which we paid. At last, he asked for the full amount even before the delivery of the device which we denied to pay. We asked for a refund as this whole system seemed like a fraud to us. We neither got the phone nor did we get the money back.
