[Resolved]  Olx India — scammers in olx in the name of indian army

Address:kookas , Jaipur, Jaipur, Rajasthan, 302028

On 19th of Feb, I was in contact with a iPhone seller in Olx, who says he's from an Indian Army from Delhi saying his name was Sanjay Singh, we agreed on Rs.32000. on 19th itself he told me to transfer money into his Paytm account of rs.15000 I did that the same day and he told me the phone will be delivered the next day around 11 am . he send pictures of going to an overnite express, the people their were packing the phone when I asked for the tracking id he told its an army courier so theirs no tracking number provided. on 20th I got a call from a delivery boy saying I have to pay full for delivery so I transfer rs. 17000 to his Paytm number again . when I called him back he told me I have to pay rs.11900 for delivery charge, I say I won't give more than 1000 so I paid rs. 1000 to his Paytm account again a total of rs. 33000, now he said he won't give me until I deposited the remaining . by this I got suspicious and I told him the deal was off and that I want my money back, he told me he'll send it back on 21st .and I say ok before 10 am, but he never send back the money. on the same day I talk to a person on OLX about the another iPhone, he gave a phone number which when I saved it on my phone, came with the same tropic as Sanjay Singh, I decided to call it and it was the same guy with 2 identity now his name is Srikhant Singh, on his id provided, which belongs to the cisf of Rajasthan . This person has two identity .I've filed an FIR against this on 22nd Feb and on 23rd I went to the bank to get my detailed transaction, I got the phone number of the account holder, I went back to the police station, the police man called it a woman pick the phone says she is from Jaipur, now the number is dead I guess . the other day the police man called this Sanjay Singhs number and he said he is from Uttar Pradesh and told him that I've not paid him at all .
His phone number is still valid and still fooling people. this people have scam a lot of people dated back to 2017 cause I've come across a lot of complains from consumer complaint and complaint board . But usually they are written in terms of different person, but now I've come to know that they are the same person with different identity, theres a lot of FIR being filed against this person and why isn't this problem being solved till now, here he is still scamming people and more might be too .

Sanjay Singhs phone no : [protected]
Srikhant Singh phone no : [protected]
Account holders phone no : [protected]
