[Resolved]  Olx India — fraud seller of iphone on olx using indian army Id proofs

Address: 500044

Hi,
On OLX a person posted an iPhone 6 32 gb ad using name Vikas Patel for rs.18, 000/- . When I contacted him, he gave me his whatsapp number and asked to me message him. After texting him he immediately sent his canteen I'd card, Aadhar card and driving licence. Finally after bargaining he agreed to give it for 12, 000. When I asked him to meet up he said he has been sent to Delhi on other posting. He asked me to pay half the amount first and when I get the phone he asked to send the remaining amount. I've sent him money using Paytm and he did send me an receipt(fake) of courier which was given by overnite express. I assumed him to be a good person as he sent me his total I'd proof and phone bill. Next day the courier guy called me and said the person who sent the parcel has put your courier on hold. When I called the person Vikas patel he said to pay the remaining amount then he will release the hold. Afterall getting so far I gave him the remaining amount using Paytm. The next minute when I called to the courier guy his phone was switched off and the person named Vikas Patel didn't respond well and kept me under blacklist. When I called the Paytm number which I've sent money some other person lifted the call and said this is a tea shop in Gujarat. Sir kindly due notice the case and take immediate action .
Thank you.
