Cyber Crime Cell, Navi Mumbai — UPI payment fraud

I advertised my flat on a site called Housing.com. A guy Randip Singh called me on 14th July saying he got transferred to Bhubaneswar and urgently wants to take my flat on rent by 20th July. Yesterday morning he said he will transfer the advance and rent amount through their army account. He shared his ID info like PAN, AADHAR and Army ID card. And handed over the phone to the one person named Ashish Jain who guided me to test UPI transfer on Gpay. He guided me through Gpay to make a 1 rupee trial transfer thru' bank option. I got suspicious and asked him why he cannot do direct transfer to me for which he said their merchant process in the Army is different. I tried for 1 rupee and at the same time I got my 1 rupee returned back. Then he told me this is the way I will get the money back. Somehow I got suspicious and I denied but due to his continued approach, again i tried for 5000 rupees and all of sudden it was deducted but not returned back. For this he said I need to pay a total money of Rs.25500/- then I will get all the money at a time. I stopped the transfer further and he continued to follow up till today afternoon to pay the balance amount. The mobile no of this person Randip Singh - [protected].
