Text of Complaint by Seshidhar:

As soon as I posted the add for selling dining table, I got a call from Vikas Patel saying that he is an Army officer.
Then he immediately asked to delete the ad in olx . As we are in a hurry to sell the product, We have disabled the add.
Then he said he will send the money online and Sent a code in watsapp posting some army pics and all. He said its my canteen card and only if you pay using this code, you will get the amount immediately. So he sent a code for Rs 5 , When the amount is sent ,I got Rs 10 immediately.
So he sent a code of 4990 again and when I scanned the code and sent using PhonePe, The amount got debited and it was never credited again for few minutes.
Later he called and asked to send 17,000 but immediately I was fighting for my previously debited moeny of 4,990 ,then he started arguing .
He said Its an army card, We can send you 34000 if you pay 170000. I didn’t pay anything further and stopped with Rs:4990.
Can you please help me in getting this back.
