Today my father wanted to buy second hand Scorpio.The seller was selling a scorpio for very less price, which caught our eye. But the guy(VIKAS PATEL who says he is from army) said he stays in Rajasthan, now that he stays in rajasthan he asked us to give him 11000 rs on his paytm so that he will deilver it to our place. He sent the documents of the army canteen. And he also asked for our documents. So my father was serious about it and told me to send him 11000 RS on his Paytm. But i as this was happening I knew something is not going good. So I googled his name and saw his history. Thanks to www.conaumercomplaints.in as I got to know about this things. I stopped taking interest in buying that scorpio.
But what made me worried is the fact that that guy may be cheating so many people around the country. Some action must be taken against these people, on the name of Army they are cheating people and looting people. They are putting the name of the Indian Army down.
