I recently posted add on quickr to sell my furniture. A lady named manisha sharma shows interest to buy, but says she is in uk and the furniture is for her home in india...
Then she sends a fake picture of airway bill and photo of cheque telling i am posting the cheque to you, it is in transit and lufthansa airways will handle this package... And also says i am sending extra 10800 that needs to be paid as service charges to the airport personal to release the cheque... Everything looks convincing but if you see the image properly, these are all just edited pictures.. I do not know how they got picture of hdfc bank cheque..
Later after 2 days i get a call saying thy calling from delhi airport and i need to do online transaction of 10500 for the package to be released and delivered by evening 9.6.5.4.4.2.6.4.3.2, truecaller identifies as some person by name mohd shahid and also i receive a mail from him mohd shahid stating package is arrived and kindly transfer amount to below mentioned account along with adhar copy or pan card copy.

A/c no: [protected]
Ifsc code: ucba0003273
Bank name: uco bank
Branch: moreh
Amount to transfer: 10, 500 rupees
All these are just #... I dont know what quickr is doing... They need to come up with identifying such fraudster

Sensing something amiss, I decided to exercise caution and requested an advance payment before commencing the project. The individual, purportedly based in the UK, explained their inability to make an online payment due to work constraints. Skeptical of the situation, I declined to proceed without the requested advance. Consequently, I did not respond to any further emails.
It is essential to remain vigilant and not fall prey to such schemes. In my case, the emails originated from the address [protected]@hotmail.com, and I received approximately 5-6 messages from this source. I urge everyone to be cautious and not let their hard-earned money be taken advantage of by fraudulent individuals. Furthermore, it is crucial for the government to take necessary steps to address and prevent such scams in order to protect individuals from financial harm.
