Olx India — selling the phone

Hi team,

I had posted an ad in olx for selling the phone. One of the olx user messaged me and agreed to buy the phone from me. So came down to my place took phone and did online neft transaction to my account and showed the message of the transaction credited to my account. But he didn't do the transaction instead he called some one and that person performed the transaction and forward the message and screenshot. Olx account user name was pooja (Female) and person who came was male and told his name is anil but really don't know what actually name of the person. He told my sister is the user she is purchasing the phone. I cam on her behalf to collection the phone.
We waited for some time and saw no amount was credited to account called bank customer care and they as it non working day it will take 24hrs to get reflected. So we some how trusted that person and took contact number and that person left.
We waited for next day till evening and amount was not credited and tried calling that number it was switched off. We were continuous trying to contact the person, later he picked the call and responded as money should be credited if not i will come down to your place and give money. Again we trusted that person and waited till night but again his phone was switch off and no response. Till now his phone is switch off.

Phone number : 91 [protected]
I have his cctv footage prints.
