[Resolved]  Olx India — fraud olx scam xiaomi mi 4k drone

Website:OLX

Hi

I am praveen, i need to get xiaomi mi 4k drone for aerial photography, so i searched for drone in olx. And i saw an ad regarding the xiaomi mi 4k drone and its location was mumbai and it price was rs.32000/- which was under my budget. So i decided to msg the number given in ad. A guy named suresh replied me that he has xiaomi mi 4k drone and he send me photos of the xiaomi mi 4k drone. After that i asked the address to get the item directly, but he replied i will ship the product through courier but before you need to pay rs.30% of total amount - in advance.
And i decided to send the 8300/- but with the condition that remaining amount will be paid after delivering the product. He agreed
Then i send the payment to his bank account. And after some time he replied your item is ready to ship and soon tracking details will be provided.

On the next day, he replied me with tracking details of product which is shipped. I thought that he shipped the item. Then he replied me in afternoon regarding that your product was held by customs and they need customs clearance document and insurance receipt, he said so you need to pay rs.25000/- for customs and also rs.5450/- for permit and after paying only the product will be delivered to u.

Basically xiaomi mi 4k drone needs customs clearance in india. But i defended that without seeing the product i will not pay. He forced me to pay those fees, i refused. After some time i got a msg from a guy regarding that he was customs officer telling that your product was held by us and u need to pay the fees.

After that i lended money from my frnd and sended the payment to account no which he was given.
When i tracked my product it says it was in transit.
And the he repiled me that you need to pay police permit for your product of rs.5900/- and after that only u will get the product.

I pay the permit fees and then again asked rs.12000/- for shipping and handling fees and saying after this payment only ur product will delivered.

After this i thought this will be scam and i defend it will not pay without seeing the product and i told "u deliver the product and then i will transfer the money". And the conversation goes on two days. I scolded him and suddenly blocked my number in whatsapp.

Two weeks gone suddenly i got a reply from new number of him about "will u pay the fees? Only then ur product will delivered". But i said only one thing "u deliver the product and then i will transfer the money". I traced his mobile number, the locations says delhi but he was telling i was bangalore.

But the all the numbers given by him locates delhi.

I lost around rs.42000/-
