[Resolved]  Olx India — indian army scam

I was searching for a iphone xs and i found a good deal the person was selling it for 45000 on olx and claims to be a army recruited man he sent me all the documents and said i will courier the mobile but before u have to send me 10000. So i sent me 10000 in advance as i was claiming to be a army man. But after that he snt me the device pavked photo and said i am sending this device it be reached by tomorrow and u have to transer the all money and u will get this device. The next day a man calls me claiming that he is an courier boy from indian army courier service pls confirn the order from sender. So i called the sender and he said to transfer the money only after that i will confirm the order. Firstly i refused to give the money but after that somehow i had to pay the money so i transferred all the amount to his account and after that i called the courier boy and asked the courir boy to hand over the device. And after that the courier boy said that the deviced is insured by the indian army courier service and u have to pay this amount also and this amout will be refunded. As i had paid so much money in advance so i had was not having any money after that so i said i can not pay the money and they both said that the order will not be delievered and all your money will not be given back. I become helpless and all my money got wasted. Pls be aware from online buying.
