[Resolved]  Quikr — distance buyer scam

Address:JP road, Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400061
Website:quikr.com

Fraud: Recently I had posted an ad on quickr to sell my old treadmill. Few days later I got a mail regarding the same from '[protected]@hotmail.com'. While other potential buyers were sending me messages which I could only see in the quickr app, this buyer had sent me a mail. So clearly someone is taking this information from the quikr information systems. The buyer had agreed to buy my treadmill but was sending me a cheque from UK. Hence I was requested to pay for the delivery charges of the cheque - Rs 8500. Then I get a call from a number and an email from [protected]@yahoo.com claiming he is from Lufthansa airline based in Delhi Airport. He requested me to transfer 8500 to ACCOUNT NAME: VINITOLI S ZHIMO
ACCOUNT NO:[protected]
IFSC CODE: PUNB0449800
BANK NAME: PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK
BRANCH: DIMAPUR

I did not trust and I did not pay. I believe such emails have gone to multiple people in the past as I did some google search on the name paul manisha and figured out

I got similar mails. Where should i report?kindly help me
I am getting similar mails in quickr and the buyer says he/she is from UK
Hi

Even I also have received the mail from this person and after her reply I also had doubt why the person sitting in UK for trade meet is interested in buying. Quikr please look into these and block this person's profile, if you are receiving complaints against this. You can have a look at the mail I have received. I am blocking this person after reading the complaints.
