Olx India — I am complaining about a fraudster claiming to be one Indian army Subedar Shiva Kumar who took an advance of rupees 10,000/- in ol

Yesterday, on 13th July 2022, a person claiming an Indian army Subedar Shiva Kumar got me convinced that he is selling his household items due to an urgent transfer for which if an advance of rupees 10, 000/- be made he will deliver the items today morning i, e on 14th July 2022. For proof, he sent me his ID that indeed had the name on it with uniform. I sent the money yesterday at around 11 pm from my sbi account to his hdfc account bearing:
Account Holder: SHIVA KUMAR
Account Number: [protected]
IFSC: HDFC0001721
Account Type: SAVING.
This morning, a person claiming to be the courier person urgently asked me to pay rupees 18, 500 GST as a proof to show the exit gate officer of the Indian army. I insisted to video call but he refused. To which I sensed fraudulence and refused to pay any further. I called the seller and asked to return my money back to that he started abusing me. He was like "Jo karna Hain karle, paise nahi milenge" !!
He disconnects my calls since then.
