Olx India — Misuse of my name for doing fraud

Hello,
This is to bring to your notice that some fraudsters are using my name to cheat people.
They have posted add for my vehicle MH14 FY 9433 and cheating people using my name. Request you to remove the add immediately and verify the documents in future before accepting any such ads.

Here is a link where I saw my name:
