I was searching for a Scooty on OLX. then i found one add of Honda Activa Scooty No. HP 15A 5556 on 10 Nov 20 . The Scooty was registered on the name of Sandeep (Mob-[protected]). After contact with him, he told me that presently he is deputed at Shimla airport and working in CISF. He sended me various identities on the name of Sandeep for make me believe. He told me that:-

{i) He will send the Scooty on my mentioned address on next day by courier. I told him that i will come to his place but he refused again and again. He convinced me to deliver the Scooty by courier.

(ii) He asked from me to send my Aadhar card, PAN card and one photo for transferring of ownership.

(iii) He told me to give the payment after arriving of Scooty at my address. He told that he will send the Scooty by Army courier service which is located at Shimla Airport and his friend Anil Kumar(MOB-[protected]) (Army man posted at Shimla) will come along with the courier. The deal was done in Rs.17000/-. He send various Identities of Anil Kumar including his Canteen cards and various photos of Army men at Army courier service centre for make me believe.

(iv). On next day he told me to pay transportation charges Rs. 2150/- on PAYTM account of courier centre for Scooty after producing of Army courier bill . He told me that this amount will be less from the amount fixed. Then after some time he begged another Rs. 1750/- for packing of the Scooty and sended me the photographs also. .

(v) On the evening of 11 Nov 20 delivery man named Anil Kumar has called me and told that he is on the nearby location of my home and will reach at my location within 20 min. He told me to pay Rs. 4199/- as a security deposit fees for the Scooty and assures me that it will be refundable during the delivery of vehicle at my location. He asked for another Rs. 7199/- which was chargeable for activation of GPS fitted in delivery vehicle. He told me that you don't know the military rules.

(vi) He always told me that i am a Military man and cant do cheat with anyone. These men will send you various fake Ids of Military men to make you believe on them.

A total amount of Rs. 15300/- was taken from me. Further they were demanding for more Rs. 5000/- which i refused. These personnel are using various modes for cheating the people and OLX is one of them. Since i was cheated because i trusted on OLX. A total amount of Rs. 15300/- was taken by the fraudsters from me . They assures to me that we are the Military personnel and cant do any kind of cheating. After transferring of amount i came to know that it was a trap to cheat . Never trust blindly on apps like OLX. There might be fraudsters on the another end.
