[Resolved] Olx — olx fraudster named balaji naidu took mobile and didn't pay money | |||
Took Oneplus 6 mobile in the month of July and sold it on August through OLX, someone named Balaji agreed to pay 32k(Advertised rate was 33k), he sent one of his friend named “Sathish” to collect the mobile as he was far, I asked him to do IMPS, but he sent NEFT transaction SMS instead with all ID proofs, NEFT looked genuine and he also claimed to TL working in some MNC and was speaking fluent English and also delivery guy confirmed he is the one in ID proofs which made me believe him. I gave mobile on 21st Aug at 10pm, NEFT takes 2 hours, but unfortunately next day was EID, and sat and sun were bank holidays, so had to wait till Monday, but there was no transaction till now, he says today he will pay, but he doesn’t, he seem to operate both from Tirupathi and Bangalore. He claimed we worked for JJ Bytes Pvt Ltd, but that company claims he was fired a year back and I was 4th person enquiring about him, previous calls were for mobiles and laptops cheating cases, and one call from Bangalore city police called them to enquire on him. So he is a habitual offender who needs public attention, I lodged complaint near nearest police station, but they are going in snails pace and no update till now on his location, I believe there are other complaints in other police station too, also found similar case with same name below. https://www.deccanherald.com/city/con-couple-cheats-techie-681727.html Just today he seems he spoke truth like he sold mobile to some mobile shop and he appears he cheat on OLX and sells it to some mobile shop. Balaji no: [protected] and ID proofs of him is attached, if anyone has any details of him, please drop a mail to [protected]@gmail.com(will offer monetary reward if I/police find him), should never let other innocent people get cheated with his professional cheating tactics.

Thanks, Team OLX Sep 30, 2018 Updated by C!ph Hi Consumer complaints team, I see you deleted all ID proof of fraudsters, please don't delete it, he needs publicity as this case is different, till now I received 2 mails about that Fraudster, he speaks English with tamil accent and never meets anyone directly and tells he will send his friend.He pings the seller that he is buying mobile, and he also pings buyer that he wants to buy mobile and tells both that he send his friend to make deal, once buyer reach the spot, he finds Bala friend/seller and you assume that seller is Bala friend and u make payment, pretty smart!(Thats the case with one of the screenshot)        | |||

I am also one of the victim. I sold an Samsung S9 256GB to him few months back. He did an NEFT on Friday and claimed that i will br receiving in 2 hrs and this continued for 10 days. I've been enquiring him since then even visited his address mentioned in the Aadhar Card and got to know he stays in Banglore.
On 14th Dec 2020 i have posted an ad on olx lg g8x for 25k and made contacted by a fraudster named Balaji bala we made a deal for 24k and on 15th he said he is coming to collect the mobile on 16th afternoon and i said ok.On 16th morning around 11'o clock he called and said i am unable to come so he is sending his friend to collect mobile and going to pay the money he talkes genuinely so i said yes and after 10 min he messaged me to send mobile photos and invoice .
After sending them he asked me to go certain area after going there he informed me that the place is happi mobile store .
Here is the trick he pulled off he said they are his friends who work in happi mobile store he said just checkin the store and they will inspect the mobile and he will transfer the money through phonepe then i said ok.
For happi store guys he made them believe that i am his relative and i am just there to deliver the mobile .
After checking the mobile they sent him 10000 on google pay here i asked balaji fraud guy why they are sending 10k.He said they borrowed money from him before if they send that money i will send u the 24000 to you as soon as i realise something is fishy the happi store guys sent him 10k and then he blocked my number and all he wont pickup anyones call and always saying busy .
Later he messaged me that he will send the 10k in 1 hour and then after 3 hours and on and on .I am so mad about myself for getting into this situation .
