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

Address:online, 560037

On 26th May I got in contact with a seller who addressed him as Mr. Jai Dev who was selling his friend’s R15 V3 for Rupees 65, 000. He said he was in the Indian army and was posted in Kempegowda International Airport. He said he couldn’t meet me personally as they were against the army orders and I had to pay only the courier charges before the delivery of the bike. He also promised me to send the courier receipt once the payment is done. He sent me his photo along with his personal information like his Aadhar Card, Pan Card and Army Id Card, bike documents and won my trust.
Initially I paid him only the courier fees of 2, 100. After some time the courier person who addressed himself as Mr. Naveen called and asked me to pay for the army gate passing fees of 21, 000. He promised that I would get the bike on 27th May morning at 9 a.m.
On 27th, I called him to check on the status of the delivery and ended up paying another 21, 500 for the RTO registration. He also told me that I need to pay the remaining 40, 000 to transfer the ownership and I ended up paying that as well. After 30 minutes he called me again to pay for the insurance and I paid another 10, 200 for the same. I paid another 8, 000 for the Army GPRS. I paid all this additional amount as he promised me he would return the amount when he met me in person as it was the army rules and he had only cash in hand. On realising that he was making more demand for the money I told him I would not transfer any more money and they both stopped receiving my calls.
Suspicious of the happenings I researched and found out that there were many cases on OLX army frauds. I told them I would go to the police and file an FIR against them and he laughed and told me to do it confidently as the police wouldn’t be able to do anything as he has been doing this fraud from months.

I have spent rupees 1, 02, 800 through GooglePay in this fraud case. I realise my carelessness in trusting an unknown person but I trusted them because they said they were from the army and had also sent me their identity proof. I have also shared with them my brother, Karthik J’s Aadhar card and Pan card. I think there is a chance of them misusing this information.

I kindly request you to please act against these two men who are fooling people in the name of army and also to catch hold of them and help me get back my money.
The below is the information about the two fraudsters:
Mr Jai Dev – [protected]
Mr Naveen – [protected]

Both the above numbers are active and they have used these same numbers for their Google Pay transaction.
Google Pay Id’s are as follows:
