I searched for mobile phones at olx. I saw an ad of realme 5 pro in Rs. 4500 only.
Then i contacted the person on the given contact number - +918890118347. Then he told me that he is from Indian army and asked me to send Rs. 500 as token money.
And after negotiating with him, i gave him Rs. 250 on a paytm a/c no. named Mahipal Singh, with id ms6375956072@paytm, and paytm no. - 6375956072.
And he said that the mobile has been dispatched from a courier.
I asked him to give me the courier's no., so he send me a no.- +919772241169. This guy was very well unprofessional. Now i was having a feeling that i am being cheated by them.
And then i asked for some id proof. He sent me a guy named, Vikas Patel's id proof, a sepoy in Indian Army.
And now the guy constantly insisted me to give Rs. 1800 more. So that, the courier guy which was waiting with the mobile parcel, can come and deliver me the phone.
And when I said no, he told me to give money as early as possible. Or the parcel will not be delivered.
So, I now totally knew that it's a trap. He was arguing and when i said, i don't want the phone, give me my money of Rs. 250 back.
He said, that the money can't be paid. As it is submitted in Army fund. And then i took help from a friend. But he didn't gave the money back.
