[Resolved]  Quikr — Scam - possible attempt of online fraud in name of mrs manpreet kaur arora

Address:New Delhi, Delhi, 500049

This is to highlight the possible attempt of online fraud and confirm that i have already submitted the form in below link but did not receive any acknowledgement.
http://cybercrimecomplaints.com

Details of fraud and attachments;

I had put an advertisement on quikr to sell my sofa set to which i received an email from showing interest in buying it from me. She says she is in uk for a month and has sent a package with airway bill of lufthansa cargo with awb# [protected]. As per her the package contains icici khalsa college branch amritsar cheque#044637 of account#[protected] of rs 18, 500/- out of this rs 10, 000/- is an advance payment for the sofa sale deal and remaining rs 8, 500/- which she wants me to pay in cash for the custom clearance duty in india airport.
However, i felt this is fraud when she mentioned on her email that i have to pay inr 8500/- to lufthansa cargo department to clear the package. I have received call on 15feb 2017 morning at 10:07am from mobile number [protected] which seems to show ashish negi name in true caller, however the person with african accent claims that he is calling from new delhi international airport and shared bank account details for me to make online payment to clear package.
He shared the account details as below;
A/c name: lufthansa airline service. A/c no:[protected]. Ifscode: rbin00061872. Reserve bank of india. Amount to pay: 8500 rupees
I did not made any payment, and think this is an online fraud. Hence am reporting for you to take appropriate proactive action to put these fraudsters behind bars.

Enclosed are 3 documents: id card of manpreet, airway bill and icici cheque

Hi All,

I too got the same mail.

Hello,

This is Mrs Manpreet Kaur Arora once again. This is to confirm to you that i have finally send the cheque to you so that you can be sure how serious I'm ready to purchase the Sofa. The Airline will arrive in India tomorrow morning by 8:45AM, while they will call you for the delivery of the package to your door once the airline arrive.

Please bear with me that the affiliated flight, Lufthansa Airline has no available flight from London (UK) to your own city, so the flight that is bringing the package will arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, Once the package is clear from New Delhi custom it will be deliver to you in your City through Airline delivery Agent, So you have to make sure you are available at home to received the package once you got a call from the delivery local Agent because you have to sign before they release the package to you.

The total amount on the cheque is 38, 500 Rupees. 30, 000 Rupees for the Sofa and the rest 8, 500 Rupees will be transfer to the Airline delivery Agent. because the Airline official have charges 70 Pounds extra which is 8, 500 Rupees. I was told this amount will be paid at India Airport once they arrive by tomorrow morning being Securities Transaction Tax (STT) so they can register the package since is first class shipping send from abroad before they can come to deliver the package at your door step. But still the Airline is not 100% sure if they will request or not since is just an envelop but in case they request, that is why I have added the 8, 500 Rupees extra on the cheque so you can transfer to the Airline delivery agent tomorrow for the clearance and registration of the package from the custom at Delhi to avoid any forms of delay. Once the amount is credited into your account then you can deduct the amount you've transfer for the custom fee. One more thing, i will want you to please get back to me with the best time the you want the pick up to be done after you received the amount credited into your account.

Once you received the package by tomorrow, please make sure you deposit to your account as earlier as possible so the money can be credited into your account before the pick up date by the FedEx. Also remember to send a mail to me once the amount is credited into your account so i can send to the FedEx Courier that is payment is done before they can come for the pick up.

I hereby attached you the Airway-Bill and the scan copy of the Cheque in the mail.

Thanks for your Co-operation.

Waiting for your urgent response once you have finally received the Cheque.

Best Regards
Manpreet Kaur Arora

Note: Please ensure that the copy of my cheque is keep as a confidential because this is my company account where i kept all my fund. I send to you because of trust i have for you that is the reason i make the cheque payee A/c so another person can't misuse my company cheque.

Hello,

How are you doing today? I guess you are fine.

It is pleasant to read from you once again. I'm satisfy with all the information you send to me and i will like to buy the Sofa from you.

Like i said in my previous massage that I'm Presently in UK on a business trade that is why is very difficult for me to communicate through phone because my phone is presently switch off.

I'm buying this Sofa to my other sitting room that is empty because i was expecting a friend from other country that is why i need this Sofa very urgent.

I must confess am comfortable with the price and whatever you told about the Sofa is okay by me and i have made up my mind in buying this even before my arrival in India. I'm ready to pay for the Sofa but before that i will like to inform you that i will be making the payment once i discuss with a logistics company that will handle the pick up from your location. Whatever we discuss about the pick up, i will come back to you so i can make the payment for the Sofa and you have to send me the address for the pick up and the time.

Moreover is there anything else you need to tell me about the Sofa which we have not discuss in this email earlier. Also,

I will like to know the following details.

1... In which floor you are living so i can know if the pick up can be easily done without damage.
2... Will you handle the packing of the Sofa or this should be done by my logistic once they come for the pick up

Please, let me know if you can take off the advert from the site as i will be paying for the Sofa once i get your feedback.

Urgently waiting for your reply.

Best Regards
Manpreet Kaur Arora

4) Subject: PAYMENT FOR THE SOFA
Hi again,

Thanks for the quick reply. I am very happy the way we've communicated, I am okay with you and i want you to know that i feel much comfortable paying ahead for the Sofa now because i have discuss with the FedEx Courier company and they are ready to handle the pick up from your end after the payment of the Sofa have been made directly to you because i have explain to them that I'm not presently in India and i want them to deliver the Sofa to my house even without my present. So they have agreed with all my proposal and they will come for the pick up once we've finally finalize the deal with each other.

I was told once the deal is finalize I should go ahead and send the address and the time of pick up and THE BEST time to reach you on phone.

Regarding the payment for the Sofa. I will prefer the mode of payment through my (HDFC BANK) Cheque because i always submit each copy of my cheque transaction to my account officer for future reference since this is my company cheque. But base on trust i will send the payment upfront to you. I have inform my bank about this while they have agreed to make sure the amount is credited into your account within 1-2 days. Once i got your information i will ensure the cheque gets to you in India within 2-3days through fast track Courier. Immediately you confirm the amount credited into your account then i will inform the Courier Company to contact you for the pick up date.

So I will request you to get back to me with the following information to get the payment to you. Your full name as it will appear on the payment, your work place address to ensure delivery in your hands through regular mails or a courier service, your phone number on the package to avoid package missing in transit. I will prefer to send to your work address because you will always be available at work from morning till evening but if home address it will be sitting in your mail and no one will be at home to receive the package. And if you don't receive package at your office address then I guess your home address will be good for the delivery right ? But to avoid any delay of you receiving at home then I guess any address will be fine as long as you will be able to receive it.

1...YOUR FULL NAME IN CAP AS IT WILL APPEAR ON THE CHEQUE
2...YOUR FULL ADDRESS FOR DELIVERY ON THE CHEQUE
3...YOUR MOBILE NUMBER ON THE PACKAGE

Kindly get back to me with this requested address contact information so that we can proceed asap bye for now.. I guess I'll feel more comfortable paying ahead now, I just don't want to loose the Sofa. Please let me know if the advert is taking off from the site.

Waiting for your urgent response.

Best Regards
Mrs Manpreet Kaur Arora

5) Subject : I GOT THE INFORMATION YOU SEND TO ME
Hello,

How are you today ? i hope you are cool.

I got the information details you send to me while i will try all my possible best to make sure i do the sending of the Cheque within couple of days as I'm going toward the Airport to do some certain things also and i will use that opportunity to do the sending to you. Please I'm just using this medium to ask if I'm dealing with the seller because I'm going ahead to send this payment base on the trust i have on you and i won't like if you betray my trust toward you. Please i will request you to crosscheck the information you send to me if there is no mistake.

Immediately the sending is done i will come back to you with the sending details.

Please make sure you check your mail time to time in case if there is any urgent information they need from the courier Service. Moreover, Please do you have any other Alternative hotline number i can include on the package in case they are coming for the delivery of the package to your door Step.

Thanks for your Co-operation.
Best Regards
Manpreet Kaur Arora
6) Subject : SORRY FOR THE BIG DELAY
How are you today ? i hope you are cool.

I'm very sorry that i could not get back to you for some days now so as to get you updated about the sending of the Cheque.

I had a emergency which necessitated my fullest attention!

My close friend here in UK lost is father last week and i was just informed about his final burial ceremony which we need to get all necessary things done, that was why i could not get back to you.

And i think you know what its takes for someone to lost his father ???

I will be sending the Cheque by tomorrow, and once the sending is done i will immediately inform you.

Thanks for your patient and honest to reserve the Sofa for me. I hope the advert has been delete already from the site.

I will get back to you in some hours now once the Cheque is send.

Bye for now.

manpreet_03.[protected]@hotmail.com

Same mail.. same amount.. same fraud.
Please beware of any Manpreet series.
Me too had similar issues. It was simple to know their tricks. Kindly request buyers not to do any unofficial transactions. I also have made a complaint with costumer care and asked them to remove such adds. I don't think any action has been taken yet. These scammers will cheat some innocent guys. Their watsapp nos are from US and they also sent me a certificate. Find attached. These companies are located in Malaysia and US. But after research I found out these are fraud sellers. They have posted multiple adds on quickr. I only found them when searching for graphics cards. The image below is what i download from internet. The scammer posted a certificate with similar logo and company name with a different registration number. Be careful and alert. Don't spend your hard earned money without thinking thrice or more.

I also got caught by this scam just today. My poor father actually also transferred the money to this a/c:

A/C NAME: SUROJIT DEB. A/C NO: [protected]. IFSC CODE: CBIN0282441. BANK NAME: CENTRAL BANK OF INDIA. BRANCH: PATUAPARA. Amount To Transfer: 8500 Rupees

Kindly send the transfer copy of 8500 INR/ur id proof copy to this email so the clearance can be done from the custom ([protected]@yahoo.co.uk)
Very similar spam, please be aware.

I will prefer the mode of payment through my (HDFC BANK) Cheque because i always submit each copy of my cheque transaction to my account officer for future reference since this is my company cheque. But base on trust i will send the payment upfront to you. I have inform my bank about this while they have agreed to make sure the amount is credited into your account within 1-2 days.

So i will request you to get back to me with the following information to get the payment to you. Your full name as it will appear on the payment, your work place address to ensure delivery in your hands through regular mails or a courier service, your phone number on the package to avoid package missing in transit.

And if you don't receive package at your office address then I guess your home address will be good for the delivery right ? But to avoid any delay of you receiving at home then I guess any address will be fine as long as you will be able to receive it.

2...Your full address to ensure delivery of the Cheque.

Why there is still no action taken against this account, even after these many complaints, is Quikr sleeping?
I got similar email from that person for renting out my flat in Gurgaon due to advertisement in Quirk. This is absolutely a scam. beware.
She has sent me the same driving licence copy, photo and cheque details to asked me to pay Rs 8500 as custom duty. I caught in the right time as it seems to me fishy.
Hi,

I have already provided the asked information like bank account details and phone number. but the speed of reply and mode of payment made it look fishy.

I searched on the net and found this information. Thank you all for bringing this into the light.

Hopefully i haven't done any mistake till now. I have sent the cancellation of deal mail though to the same id.

BR,
Dinkar
OH MY GOD!!! You guys are THE BEST thing to happen on this planet. I was very close to transfering the amount until I thought i should snoop a bit about this person before i send the money.

Naturally, I'm an ###.

If not for this thread i would have been broke on the day before my 24th birthday.

Who this Nig*as trying to take my money?!
I got from this mail : [protected]@hotmail.com

Thank you guys.
these type of fraudulent hings originates from Bangalore(Easy Money Earners city-NO HARDWORK).
i have certain indian phone no's and account no's of them when i was a victim of this scam.
one guy named Kumar, from bangalore, called me and said he is the supporter of negro ###(who cheated me with iphone) and said that he will find my address and will kill me before end of day.
i just gave my address, asking him to reach me asap, if he is too dare.
to my shock, this both guys are still cheating people(with quikr name Muhammad Kumar, frankly they have hundreds and hundreds of accounts) all over india posting fake ads and asking people to deposit money into accounts and finally disappearing with customs clearance money transfer drama.
government has to do something on this.
This people has been cheating since years and it is really sad to witness, they still exist.i personally feel these guys are employed by quikr(whatever complaint we do on them, is automatically ignored by quikr app), coz they have Quikr Premium ads, which means they are paying with card or some Indian account details.
previously its only about costly things with which they use to cheat people but now, they are okay if you transfer 200 rs to their accounts.
FINALLY I DNT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY EAT FOOD EVERYDAY CHEATING WHOLE LOT OF INDIANS AND THEY ARE STILL CHEATING(THEY GOT USED TO EARNING EASY MONEY).
now, this guy with indian mobile no is cheating people posting fake ads and looting money.

link of this ad : https://www.quikr.com/electronics-appliances/new-apple-macbook-air-13.3-laptop-with-12month-warra...

pls find him and make sure he will never come out of jail.

Hi again,

Thanks for the quick reply. I am very happy the way we've communicated, I am okay with you and i want you to know that i feel much comfortable paying ahead for the Bed now because i have discuss with the FedEx Courier company and they are ready to handle the pick up from your end after the payment of the Bed have been made directly to you because i have explain to them that I'm not presently in India and i want them to deliver the Bed to my house even without my present. So they have agreed with all my proposal and they will come for the pick up once we've finally finalize the deal with each other.

I was told once the deal is finalize I should go ahead and send the address and the time of pick up and the best time to reach you on phone.

Regarding the payment for the Bed. I will prefer the mode of payment through my (HDFC BANK) Cheque because i always submit each copy of my cheque transaction to my account officer for future reference since this is my company cheque. But base on trust i will send the payment upfront to you. I have inform my bank about this while they have agreed to make sure the amount is credited into your account within 1-2 days. Once i got your information i will ensure the cheque gets to you in India within 2-3days through fast track Courier. Immediately you confirm the amount credited into your account then i will inform the Courier Company to contact you for the pick up date.

So I will request you to get back to me with the following information to get the payment to you. Your full name as it will appear on the payment, your work place address to ensure delivery in your hands through regular mails or a courier service, your phone number on the package to avoid package missing in transit. I will prefer to send to your work address because you will always be available at work from morning till evening but if home address it will be sitting in your mail and no one will be at home to receive the package. And if you don't receive package at your office address then I guess your home address will be good for the delivery right ? But to avoid any delay of you receiving at home then I guess any address will be fine as long as you will be able to receive it.

1...YOUR FULL NAME IN CAP AS IT WILL APPEAR ON THE CHEQUE
2...YOUR FULL ADDRESS FOR DELIVERY ON THE CHEQUE
3...YOUR MOBILE NUMBER ON THE PACKAGE

Kindly get back to me with this requested address contact information so that we can proceed asap bye for now.. I guess I'll feel more comfortable paying ahead now, I just don't want to loose the Bed. Please let me know if the advert is taking off from the site.

Waiting for your urgent response.

Best Regards
Mrs Arora

The Airline will arrive in India tomorrow morning by 8:45AM, while they will call you for the delivery of the package to your door once the airline arrive.

Please bear with me that the affiliated flight, Lufthansa Airline has no available flight from London (UK) to your own city, so the flight that is bringing the package will arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, Once the parcel is clear from New Delhi custom it will be deliver to you in your City through Airline delivery Agent, So you have to make sure you are available at home to received the package once you got a call from the delivery local Agent because you have to sign before they release the package to you.

Also, From the cheque you will received, i have include extra amount of 8, 500 Rupees because i was informed by the Airline that been first class shipping the custom will charges 8, 500 Rupees in India Currency has insurance fee/Clearing fee before they can clear the parcel which is the 70 Pounds writing on the Airway Bill. This amount is to ensure that the custom will register the parcel in India if in case there is any problem the custom can be able to defend that the cheque have pass through the normal channel to India.

So, The total amount on the cheque is 19, 500 Rupees. 8, 500 Rupees you need to transfer to the Airline delivery Agent as the custom insurance fee/clearing fee tomorrow morning before they come to deliver the parcel to you. The rest 11, 000 Rupees is for the Bed. I was told by the Airline official that i need to inform you in earlier about the 8, 500 Rupees before they arrive in India tomorrow morning to avoid any form of delay. Please you should try to co-operate with them to avoid any controversy related to money issue.

Once you received the amount you should kindly inform me the time and date for the pick up so the pick up company can fix the appointment on time.

I hereby attached you the scan copy of the Cheque in the mail.

Got this SCAM mail below from the same group of scamsters:
Email ID used: Shikha Purbey

I almost fell in the trap, but luckily the last set of email interactions with this scamster made me suspicious enough to inquire about this online and the Google results on this scam proved it.
Beware of these fraudsters who are using different email IDs to lure genuine sellers. Lessons learnt!

Date of the incident: saturday 22/01/2019
I got trapped into cyber crime. I had posted add to sell my furniture in quikr. I got an email from one lady. She stays in uk and want to buy double bed. With conversation through email she look very professional to me. I agreed to sell her. But she didn't want to go through quikr want to send her own movers & packers.
After final decision happened between us that she will send a cheque through courier. I asked her to transfer online but she refused but i was okay as i just need to deposit the cheque in the bank and once money will transfer to my account she will send fedex for pickup.

Friday night she sent an email to me with the airway bill and cheque.in that she mentioned you need to pay rs. 8500 for custom clearance and they will assign i agent whom you need to transfer the amount in his account. As she mentioned in her email that the cheque is of additional rs. 8500 i have paid that. Later i got an email from the agent personal id and discussion happened, he demanded for rs. 16, 800. He said it's security deposit and then rs.18000 for fedex guys demanding for security to deliver the cheque. He has shared his identity with me lufthansa airline employee and letter from federal ministry office.

She also sent me a mail stating that she would directly transfer me the amount through her associate into my account directly and asked me for my bank account details. However i avoided giving bank details saying that i will wait for the cheque to arrive.

I got into the trap and paid rs. 25, 300. Through neft / rtgs.
1. Through hdfc bank : rs 8500 + rs. 16, 800

The details of the bank where the amounts were sent to the fraudsters are as follows:
Account name: thangkhojang haokip
Account no:[protected]
Ifsc code:ucba0003273
Bank name:uco bank
Branch: chandel

Here are the details and contact person :
Lady who contact me : [protected]@hotmail.com
Agent email id: [protected]@yahoo.com
Agent ph. No: [protected]

Guess a fraudtser.

Was selling a car & here are the transcript from last email.

Hello XXXXXXX,

As Promised, I have just sent the Cheque to your giving Address. The airline will arrive in India tomorrow morning First at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi by 8:45 AM in other to get all there parcel registered before it will be dispatched to your City through there local Agent in India.

Here are the sending details.

Deposit Batch Number: DCS-POL-0669-PRVT3450
Deposit Receipt #: [protected]
Description of Content: Package/265 Grams
Sender's Name: Payal Pathak

Moreover, I'm giving 1, 00, 000 Rupees (One Lakh) as advance Deposit has discuss earlier the rest you will need to send your Account details where i need to transfer once you cashout the cheque but I have included the extra amount of 10, 500 INR on the cheque you will receive bcoz according to the Courier Service here in the UK, I was told the Custom of India will charge before clearing been the first-class Shipping and India Customs fees are not accepted directly from me here in the UK bcos their company won't bear the Cost if any demurrage charges occur in India Custom. That is the reason I have to include this amount and the total amount on the cheque is 1, 10, 500 Rupees. So you make sure you prepare yourself with the amount of 10, 500 Rupees so as to ensure the package is cleared from the Custom same day of arrival. You inform me if you are asked to pay any single payment apart from the 10, 500 Rupees. Upon settlement of the Custom Charges been paid to the Custom in Cash. The Agent will proceed for the final delivery to your doorstep which you are to sign before they release. So the total amount 1, 10, 500 Rupees will be for you once the cheque is credited into your account.

I hereby attached the copy of the cheque.

Immediately we confirm our flight ticket, the copy of the flight details will be sent to you so you can know our arrival date.

Thanks for your Co-operation and be safe of the COVID-19.
