[Resolved]  Olx India — fraudulent caller (buyer)

We posted an ad for cot, mattress for 8000 and within seconds recieved a call from a buyer (Somnath giri - hindi speaking fraud) asking for price. Believing him as genuine, we had reached him out in whatsapp sharing our home address as he was asking. He immediately shared qr code asking for 5rs and immediately got 10rs credited. Immediately he sent request for 7500rs and asked our bank balance. We informed we have only 2000rs as balance. Immediately he deleted all whatsapp chats. We tried reaching him several times but he didn't pick up the call. We didn't realise we had been cheated until we searched to olx. Now that profile is showing disabled by the seller.
Olx please verify your buyers and sellers. If this is not considered well, i will complaint to police.
