[Resolved] Olx India — olx fraudulent offer for redmi note 5 pro

sumesh valanju

from Jalna, Maharashtra

Address:

411057

A guy named Vikram Balu waghmare is a fraud. He will sweet talk you into couriering the cell phone to you instead of meeting up directly and also demands photos of your id proofs stating that he is in army and needs it as it is high security in the base camp he is in. First he took a delivery charge for the courier and then the rest of the money. I am afraid that he would use my id to impersonate himself and con someone else I would warn people to stay away from such offers on olx unless the party is agreeing to meet don't transfer any amount. His latest number is
[protected] and also another number which he used for the delivery guy
[protected]. The delivery guy asked me to share the address and location saying he could not find the address and then told me that until half payment is not done he won't come to deliver and then Balu waghmare called and said to make the rest of the payment. And then the courier guy said that he has left and will make payment in the morning. This is really bad and old should take strict action against such profiles.
