Dear Manu

This is a case of cybercrime; “computer crime”, or “cybercrime”, refers to any crime that involves a computer and a network. The computer may have been used in the commission of a crime, or it may be the target. Netcrime refers to criminal exploitation of the Internet. Such crimes may threaten a nation’s security and financial health Issues surrounding this type of crime have become high-profile, particularly those surrounding cracking, copyright infringement, child pornography, and child grooming. There are also problems of privacy when confidential information is lost or intercepted, lawfully or otherwise.

In your case it is the use of confidential information which has been used by OLX without your prior permission which amounts to breach of privacy. You can refer this link to file a complaint against them in appropriate jurisdiction (http://cybercrimecomplaints.com/cyber-crime-cells-india)

If you want to approach them directly then contact OLX at http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId...

It may be a human error but if you have been getting 200 calls everyday, then OLX should be penalized for the same. Keep collating the numbers from where you are getting calls concerning this add on OLX as proof. I hope this information will be helpful.

Thanks and regards
