I had posted an ad on facebook for saree sale. This person called me on Feb 13 and identified himself as an army personnel. We settled for rs 1500 as payment. He called me after couple of hours and told me that he wants to get it picked from someone else but would like to make a payment in advance over google pay. . He sent me a request of rs 1500 on google pay or paytm through upi. I told him that it is asking me to pay rather than him paying the amount. He told me that it will first debit my account and then add double of that amount. I did not agree to it and told him that this is not possible. He said this is how it works and requested me to try it with rs 5 transaction and i agreed to it. Rs 5 got debited from i account and rs 10 got credited. Believing him, i accepted rs 1500 transaction. My account got debited of rs 1500 but rs 3000 didn’t get credit. Upon this he said that there is some error in swipe machine from which we are doing. He said he is sorry. So asked me to do again with rs 2987 as code for receiving 1500 so i can get my money back but again same thing happened and i got duped of approx. Rs 20000.  For which he said that you have to click pay and recieve option code for two times. Then this person told me that he will refund my full money in my debit card though swipe machine and asked told him to transfer the money in my account which he didnt do. This went on for couple of hours.

I told this person to send my money in my bank account which he said he cannot do. He keep insisting that its an army camp and only method he can transfer money is through swipe machine into google pay / paytm etc.

Please help me get my rs20000. The id of army person praveen sahil kumar .
