OLX scams are increasing day by day.
In the world of internet, we can get things done in just a snap. While it offers an added convenience, the internet is also a scary place to be in. Cybercrime has been increasing day by day and fraudsters are finding new ways of scamming people. In this article, we will be looking at an OLX related scam.
In such frauds, the fraudster usually posing as an Army/Paramilitary personnel, contacts the person who is trying to sell a product on websites or apps such as OLX and Quikr. He goes through a conversation that seems legit to the victim. Once both the parties have agreed to a certain price, the fraudster claims that he is posted in some inaccessible area of the country and hence, can neither come to take the physical delivery nor can he pay the money in cash.Â
