[Resolved] Olx India — Parallel olx.in fake sites are floated by miscreants/imposters | |
There have been a legion of complaints against OLX.India in these times for their utter failure to protect their sites that have been now dominated by unethical social elements, defeating the very purpose of their sites created, that were originally designed to function as free-platforms for trading legally approved goods and to be used by genuine traders.Now, most of the traders are believed to be impostors with deceitful pretences and intentions.This is a dangerous trend that is to be arrested immediately.Majority of the traders using the platform/s are with criminal mental designs to misguide and defraud the public.It is strongly believed and noticed that they float parallel OLX sites very conveniently, pretending to be genuine traders, taking the genuine traders for fools.These impostors hide safely behind such floated platforms.Also, they use duplicate advertisements for the same items.For instance, a watch is advertised for sale for Rs.600/-.If a gullible buyer refers to the seller for details and final offer, the seller will quote the price as Rs.1600/- displaying a bogus advertisement.They will conveniently use the duplicate one with an abnormal price tag.The authorities of OLX.India know very well the tactics of the crooked sellers, but they have not taken any stringent measures to curb them.And, I fear these frauds might be engaged in illegal activities like trafficking drugs and other banned goods.The existence of OLX.In is a dangerous threat to the safety of our nation.They should dissolve their sites in India and float again with strict rules and regulations only.Their sites should be made paid platform/s for genuine tradings and transactions. The complete tradings and transactions should be under their supervision and control.Then only, they can check the entry of the deceivers.If needed, legal courts may impose required guidelines on such sites found with suspicious activities by unscrupulous social elements.Lagal courts alone can correct them.Moreover, the profiles of most of the traders and their addresses are not real.They feed fictituous and misguiding infos.There is no guarantee for the goods bought OR for the money paid.There is no accountability on the sellers and So, criminals take advantage of the site/s.Better to keep such sites at bay. The concerned Govts' authorities should look into the matter immediately for proper regulation.Prevention is better than cure. Was this information helpful? | |
