Yoshita Mehta filed this complaint against rahul sharma on Sep 06, 2022

Rahul sharma approached me via OLX chat and showed interest in buying sofa set that I had posted, within seconds of the ad going live. He asked for my phone number and called me. Without any negotiations at all, he agreed to a final price and said he will pick up from my address in a couple of hours but will pay a token amount of sofa online . He said he prefers UPI and I agreed. To convince me he first sent me a QR code for receiving ₹* and first it got debited from my account but then ₹* got credited twice instantly. I thought it works like this, but then he proceeded further with ₹ *****/- twice from * accounts (*****/-) QR code, which I scanned in Google Pay and the amount got debited from my accounts. He said you have to do it again, then you'll get back twice same as you got ₹* earlier. I found it suspicious and kept insisting him to give my money back. He also kept on sharing more Qr codes and said that's the only way he can pay. The new QR codes just had refund written on them in big letters on the top instead of receive, as in the earlier codes. He started shouting at me when I got irritated and kept asking him for my money back. He then switched off his phone and no response The true caller was showing his name, and picture. He later deleted all the chat msgs and WhatsApp chat. I ran to my bank to stop the payment but it was already debited. I have already given my written statement in my bank for my both accounts Later I discovered on OLX as well that it was a new account from a day back only. The money went from my pnb bank acc to his bank account via UPI QR code scan.
