My friend put furniture on OLX for sale. He received 1 call from the person who said he is from Indian Army & want to buy this furniture for his brother & for confirmation of done deal, he is transferring 10k rs. As token amount through UPI.

So my friend gave him his UPI ID & this guy was fraud. So rather than paying, he sent request to pay 10k & asked my friend to confirm it. My friend was lucky that he realized it that he is asking for money & not giving money.

Also that guy has sent his id & pan card showing Indian Army dress. This guy is doing double fraud – 1 financial & 2nd on the name of Indian Army.

My friend didn’t loose his money bcoz of his alertness. But how & where to complaint for this incident?

Yes this kind of fraud did with my friend he was selling his iphone 6s on olx and one person contact with his and told him they were working in indian army on airport security and that person also requested to my friend to come airport and exchange the phone with cash but when he reached the airport they told first transfer 5,000 in my paytm then i able to come out from airport through making any pass . My friend block his no. And ask to nearly sit army persons they denied that we did not know this person and this person also weared fake army uniform in picture . So be careful from this kinds of fake persons.

I had faced exactly same situation except he was selling the iPhone at a very low price, and I was going to buy it but when He didn’t send me picture of the Bill he claimed he had I was suspicious.

There is lack of Knowledge about UPI

Lot of common people don’t understand what UPI is,Even though they have IDs created in Paytm, Google pay, phonepe etc

Need to create more awareness about UPI usage rather than promoting their offers and increasing number of transactions

Unfortunately Cyber cell will not take you complaint as you’re not cheated right now ; and police him self will argue that may be they had given you payment request mistakly .

And police will told you that it’s army problem so they can’t enter it and will suggest you to contact army .

That’s why this cheaters are rulings since years ; even lots of YouTube videos are on them . exactly last week a computer engineer got cheated under same case in my city . Can send you newpaper ss ; but its on regional language

In India such people’s populations are drastically increasing. I don’t know how do they live without any fears.
