Olx India — fraudulent seller scammer

Address:Kolkata

Dear team olx,

First of all i want to thank you fr keeping up good work. I am one of the olx user since the service has been launched.
Now the story begins of the fraudulent seller i met with on olx 2-3 days before. I was planning to buy nokia e71 handset as we know its a rare mobile now so i searched it on india level and came across a seller named subhamoy halder from kolkata (Ph. No. [protected]). He has posted an ad named as "nokia originals" pic attached. I messaged him and asked about the availability of phone and also asked about his contact details. He shared his whatspp number (On which he never received a call from my side or called from his side) and we had a chat. I requested him to share original pics of phone as the pics uploaded in ad on olx are internet copied. At the very first instance he has shared a message mentioning his account details for money transfer, though i have not asked but still he shared (Maybe to show himself a genuine seller). I requested him to deliver the product first so that i can check and transfer money later but upon reading this in message he got annoyed and abused me. He blamed me that i am a scammer and threatened me that he is going to report in police that i have asked his account details which i did not. His behaviors over messages was very upsetting. I immediately reported his chat on olx. I request you to take strict action against him so that the decorum remain unharmed.
