OLX Letter Fraud

Dear OLX Manager,

I have been Cheated today, by Deepak Sharma & Gang on OLX Furniture, Delhi

I have put up 3 Ads to sell my furniture as I am moving house.
This Deepak Sharma offered to Buy my Bed + Mattress at Rs 4200/-.
I asked him to pay me in cash, because I did not have PayTM.

In the evening, 30 min before they were to arrive, he calls me that cash could not be arranged...would I accept PayTM.

So, I downloaded that PayTM App, which is new technology for me.

This Deepak fellow misguided me and instead of TAKING 4200 from him, I ended up GIVING Rs 4200/- to his PayTM account.

He tried to make me transfer more to him, but I realised that something was very wrong.
I checked my Acc Balance and found it Rs 4200 short.

I don't know what you can do about my mistake, but kindly BAN such cheaters from your site.

Also, I'm planning to register an FIR against the person who owns this phone number and report it to journalists (I'm aslo a writer):
