I am sharing my similar experience, the person namely Anil Sharma cheated me and extract my money from my account by fraud–
I have given add for selling my Washing Machin & TV on 7.10.2019 through the OLX Mobile app. In response, I got a call from the Number 7297076962 stating himself as Anil Sharma as a Business person having business of buying old furniture, electronic & electric appliances from the location Andheri Mumbai. He showed willingness to buy my Washing Mschin & TV for the negotiated price Rs.6000/- in a hurry. When we enquired about payment mode he replied he can make payment only through GooglePe Or PhonePe, he also told us that if you don’t have these apps then first download it and then call me for the online payment. All the time we insisted on him for the RTGS payment but he stuck on his payment mode. At last we are ready to accept money through PhonePe. When he calls us in the morning around 10.40 am on 8/10./2019 he asked my online PhonePe details to pay the negotiated amount Rs. 6000/- .He asked me to keep my phone on speaker so that he can guide me about the payment. He repeatedly asked me to hurry on my details so he may pay for the Washing Machine & TV as he needs to attain other customer who are in queue. So I provided my PhonePe number. As a precaution I request him to make a small amount payment first to verify that whether the money he transfer by him will be credited in my account in response he Transferred Rs.5/- in my account then he asked me to verify the same accordingly I verify the amount in my account as noticed that the amount Rs.5/- was credited in my account. As I have confirmed that the amount Rs. 5 credited in my account he then asked me to Accept his initiation from the UPI option (means from direct Bank account) for the amount of Rs.6000/- through my PhonePe App but the same was failed due to technical issue. To avoid the technical issue he then asked for initiation of transaction amount Rs.1999/- 1999/- & 995/- from the UPI option (means from direct Bank account) but at the same time didn’t give us time to verify my account. He repeatedly ask me that he had transferred the amount you just click the bail ICON on the PhonePe app and check the balance in your account accordingly I have hit the bail ICON and for inspecting the balance in my account I have entered my PIN. In a short time, I received an SMS regarding the debit of the said amount from my account. I called him and request him to give my money back and also warned him about the lodging of police complaint but all in vain I lost my amount. After disconnection of the call, I am repeatedly trying to call him but didn’t connect. I am well aware about the meaning of debit and credit but still, the said fraud person cheated me. I request to concerned authorities to please initiate necessary steps to save people from this FRAUDS!
** PhonePe Or GooglePe Account used to cheat the people and receive money in the name of Anil Sharma.
