This is regarding an incident of fake usage of ssb personnel id to manipulate and extort money. I would like to bring to your notice an incident that happened to me yesterday.

I was recently contacted by a person stating that he is ssb personnel[protected] sahil kumar on olx for accommodation. He provided me with all the identification proofs including ssb id card and aadhar card.

He demanded me to accept the payment only through google pay and sent a payment collection request instead of a deposit request. This made me suspicious and fortunately, i did not transact.

I have blocked the person from my end. However, i wanted to inform you about the fake user who is extorting money through olx account.

The number which sent me the ssb id over whatsapp is [protected]. Truecaller shows the number to be in rajasthan but the person told me that he was working in nagpur ssb.

There is another incident of the same id usage to extort money online. Pfb the link.
