I met havildar manjeet sing on olx. He was selling iphone 7 plus 128 gb. We had a deal in 18000 /- so i asked him to send mobile pictures and identification proofs - attached below. He said he is in indian army posted in rajasthan jaisalmer. So i trusted him. He asked me to send 50% amount instantly and remaining 50 % at the time of delivery. So he given post office inchrge (Jaikam khan) paytm number. I send him 9000/- via paytm. Next day when i have to receive the parcel courier boy (Vikas patel) called me and asked me to pay remain 50% amount. So i again paytm 9000/- on same number. Again after 15 minutes, i got call from courier boy asking for insurance charge amount 9250/- which will refundable. So i again paytm. Again after 15 minutes he asked for gst charge of rs 8250/-. So i didn't pay the amount. I found something fishy. And i called manjeet to cancel the deal and refund my amount. But he has not refund the amount and all the numbers are switched off.
