[Resolved]  Quikr — Furniture fraud on quikr

Address:

Quikr

This guy named jaikishan as shown in caller id with number [protected] has contacted me thru quikr and asked me to check items on whatsapp. I have checked them and then eliminated washing machine by which he has reduced the price to 16000. After checking he sent his army id cards stating me to deposit rs 2000 initially and when product delivers asked me to do remaining transaction. Next day morning he called me to ask and make 4115rs transaction as security and when when delivers it is refundable. After making that payment he again calls telling that he wanted 4150 and i made 4115 and asked me to pay in whole 4150. I paid again. He again calls me telling somuch of philosophy about army and making me to pay in whole as i delayed the transaction. So i paid remaining 5700 rs. He has told me to to hold for 30 min and i will get products delivered at my door step. This is a period of lockdown and i believed him when he told products will be delivered in army van. And finally he again calls me to do another caution deposit of 5150. This time i went directly to police station for filing a complaint. I know the police would scold me for believing in him and so did they and asked me to approach cyber crime and being a lockdown and is almost 15 km away from my place i couldnt go. I seriously am annoyed with quikr as without verification how could they enter people to post publicly. Although i agree upon my fault also. Please make sure this doesnt happen with other buyers. I feel bad to what had happened to me. I lost a total of rs16k. On talking with my army friend he spoke to those people who contacted me and foundout they are frauds on asking their designation and levels in army which they failed to answer and started abusing. Later when i called back he blocked my number and when he came to know when i am calling from different numbers he started blocking those too. Seems like they are gang of few people doing this.
I have the numbers of people who called me:
[protected] - the one who first contacted me name found as jai kishan on truecaller.
[protected] - name found as sanjay army on truecaller.
The number they asked to do payments on :[protected] - made 2000
[protected] - made remaining 4115+4150+5700 = 13965
Total of 15965 loss for me.
Please go through this mail and let people know that they are being cheated. However through this i got to know never believe in quikr or olx with these frauds. If you dont have any mechanism to identify frauds then maintaining such websites is of no use. I am sure the blame goes on me too but without your platform being there this would never have happened ever. So, there is a fault from your side too. Accept it and try to make more changes in filtering frauds.
They are using indian army name and id cards for such frauds.
