This is a sob story really. I made a stupid gullible mistake of dealing with a OLX scammer.
This is the ad: https://www.olx.com.pk/item/motorola-z2-force-6gb-128gb-dual-with-moods-box-pack-iid-1006541895
This is his profile: https://www.olx.com.pk/nf/user/104419862
This is his cell number: 0309-2247103
It is a featured ad (meaning he paid OLX to show his ad to everyone). He has many other ads on his profile.
Obviously the price for the content was somewhat attractive, which caught my interest (Remember the old quote "if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't").
I contacted him on call & whatsapp & he sent me pics & details of the product. I asked him for cash on delivery. (he's in multan, I'm in karachi). He said i have to do half the payment in advance (this should've been a red flag). I told him I'll pay 10k advance, and remaining 12k via cash on delivery. He agreed.
After payment, he started bullshitting me about how TCS cash on delivery service is out of order & i either have to wait for service to fix (which apparently will take 8-10 days), or pay the remaining amount in advance.
Obviously I'm not stupid enough to pay this scammer even more than i already have, but there's nothing i can do to retrieve the already transferred amount.
I already asked him for refund, to which he disagreed. I told him I will contact the cops, he said go ahead (this filthy behavior confirms that he is a scammer).
Now i have convinced myself to forget about it and move on, but it is very hard to do.
I want you guys to never repeat my mistake. Hence I'm sharing the story. Feel free to ask any questions.
