Olx — scooty fraud in olx

Website:WWW.OLX.IN

I found an advertisement on olx (Olx.in) of a scooty on 7th of september, 2019. I contacted the advertiser on the same day i. E., 7th of september 2019. I had a short talk after which i shared my whatsapp no. And two id proofs. I was contacted back on 8th september 2019 and was asked for an amount of rs. 3100 as a delivery charge. After some time he informed me that the scooty is near to my delivery location and thus asked for the full payment of rs. 17900. I did the same and paid the full amount by google pay. However, the seller then informed me that the money was not transferred to his account and hence asked me to retransfer it. He also asked me to split the total amount in rs.9000 and rs.8900. I again did the same. He then levied some atrocious fines, an amount of rs.7120 as a charge for holding. I again paid the same since i did not want my previous amount to go to waste.
So, a total of rs.46020 was paid to him and i see it was successfully transferred to the person. He then asked me for more money as fines for delayed payment. I then realized it to be a fraud and a scam.

I started researching about it now that i was coned. I found out that there is another complaint about the same person by another customer. And from a few of the person i know, i was told that this scam has been running for a quite some time. I am worried about the fact that a scam that has been running for this long still works and the person was confident enough to tell me that no one can do anything to him. He identified himself as cisf personnel.

All details about the seller are provided below. I also attach all the other details i have as photos and audios.
