[Resolved]  Olx India — olx scooty fraud

Address:501401

On monday 3/6/2019, i was searching for a 2nd hand two wheeler on olx in hyderabad. I found one on enquiry with the person, he told that he is in army and he bought this scooty for his wife but as their posting is changed and he got posted to vijayawada so he wants to sell scooty. Then he shared with me the photos of scooty. The listed price of scooty was 35000/- but i asked him to give at 27000/- and also agreed to it. Next he told me that your scooty will be delivered to you by indian army transport services and he asked my full address so i gave the full address. Next i asked him give me his identity proof and rc of the scooty. He gave me but i don't know about its authenticity.

After about one hour or so he said he is at army transport services office and he doing some paper work for transport of scooty. And he told me that i had to give 3150/- for dispatch of scooty and also asked to give my id proof. I told him that you give the money now i give you the total amount when i recieve scooty, but he insisted that you only have to pay the money then only bill will be generated in your name. So i transferred him 3150/- through paytm ([protected]). Next he said your scooty will be at your place by 6:30 pm and he also send me some invoice or bill of dispatch.

Then in evening about 19:00 hours i called him to ask that whether scooty will come today or tomorrow so he said it will be coming today itself in half an hour. After that one courier guy called me and said that we are coming at your place in nearly 20 mins before that you make the remaining payment and then they will get mail to deliver it. That time also i told him that you bring the scooty and i will give you the total amount when i recieve scooty. But he said until and unless you dont clear your amount they wont get mail to deliver it, so i paid him 23850/-. But then he called me and said that you were supposed to make payment in 20 minutes but unfortunately you exceeded the time so again you have to pay 16200+50/-. And at time of delivery 16200 will refunded and 50 will charged by them. And this time also i dont know why i transferred him the amount 16250/- but again he called me and said you were supposed to make payment in two parts 16200/- one and other 50/- because different bills will be generated. I said i don't want the scooty and i told him to return him the money that i paid but he told that money is with the army transport office and if the consignment is not delivered today then both buyer and seller have to go to mumbai to their head office for further things and it will take about 6 months to get refund. And he asked me better is to give another 16250/- in two parts and he made me believe that he is in army and your all money will be refunded at time of delivery. So this time also i dont know why i paid 16250/-. Then also he did not deliver the scooty. Again he is asking me to give 12000/- and he is saying that he will definitely deliver it after it. Total they took 59500/- for 27000 scooty.

Now at night at about 23:00 i called him and told that i am filling a complaint against him in police. After about 10 mins back he called me and said give the paytm no i will transfer you the amount. But along with the paytm no he was asking me the password of paytm adn saying that they want it for checking the transaction details. But i said i you want to see the transaction details i will give you the screenshot but he said no the manager of army transport services is asking for password to verify. I said i won't give you the password because i think they want the password to delete or hack my paytm account so that i don't remain with any proof.
Today 4/6/2019 i called him and asked him about money so he said what money what are you and he hanged up the phone. And now phone is not reachable ([protected])

Please sir look into the matter asap as they are scamming normal citizens in name of army. I am attaching all documents and photos of transactions. Please sir look in matter seriously and help me.

I posted furniture for sell. He called me that he will transfer an amount then he said amount not getting transferred and then he sent me request on phonepe to transfer the amount from my account. If I would have accepted his request and send the money then I would have been victim. His name n number are below.
