I wanted to buy an av receiver. So i found one on indiamart. The seller's name was imorke store. It was a onkyo tx-nr676 av receiver. Along with that i ordered a subwoofer amplifier acoustic audio ws1005. The total cost that was negotiated was rs. 33, 000.
I called indiamart to check if the seller is verified to which i was assured that the seller is indeed verified and they will help me with any problems i face.
I did upfront payment for rs. 10, 000 and the seller shipped those items from usa and provided me with a tracking number. The logistics website is: http://transroyallogistics.com
A couple of days later the shipment reached mumbai customs. Here the actual fraud started. Oblivious to the fact that this could indeed be a fraud, i kept giving them money. The seller kept literally begging for money as he "wanted" to get these deliveries done as soon as possible.
1. First they asked for more money to pay the custom duties. Rs. 13, 000
2. Then they realized that they "accidentally" sent an iphone x and asked for more money to pay customs duty for it. Rs. 15, 000
3. Then for getting the tax clearance certificate from customs. Rs. 15, 000
4. Then some other "transport" asked for money to do the transport and delivery which never happened. Rs. 7, 000
5. I was asked to buy the iphone too, which i did because i just wanted to get this over with. Cost was rs. 48, 000. At this point i had already paid rs. 60, 000. So to complete the payment for all three items, i paid another rs. 21, 000
In total, i bore a loss of rs. 81, 000 out of which rs. 74, 000 were transferred in the account mentioned below.
