Respected Sir/Madam,
I was searching for a second hand car on OLX india and one person claimed himself from indian army wanted to sell his car for 1, 25, 000 as his base cp was shifting from Nasik to Jammu. I told him ok I what to see car he said that he is from army so he can't meet us and we shall need to get Negative RTPCR report and will not get permission from army. He said that the courier service boy will talk to you
and drop the car at my place after some payments. I blindly trusted him in good faith that he is a genuine person and is from our indian army and i transferred the amount in Google Pay account via 4 transactions.
My humble request to you is please try and get us our refund, we belong to a middle class family whose only dream was to buy a second hand car.
