I friends, to day I am sharing my experience about OLX APP.my dad has a samsung galaxy and it's battery is dead.and the phone is very old so dad wanted a new phone.I suggested to buy mi note4 and asus zenfone laser or max .my dad said no he wants a removable battery phone.and yes if battery would malfunction then we have to seem for service center.


So I thought of searching OLX .because people are now selling mi 4 phones so they can buy xiami phones, so I opened OLX to see which phones from Mi note 4 or sony were up for sale.so I saw a good phone , Mi note 4.which costs 15000 Rupees, seller was giving it. For 4000.1month old with bill and accessories.and there was no damage on the phone what so ever.


So I called the seller whats the condition of phone where he lives.he said condition of phone is first class.i asked him why is he selling the phone.he said he is having j7 as well and he wants to sell the note 4.i asked him if there is any problem in the phone he said no.i said ok I want to see the phone and after checking I would buy the phone, I am ok with the price.he said ok .But he put up a strange condition , he said before coming I should make him a payment of 500rupees in his airtel money account.i asked why, he said he would be having a conformation that I would be coming if u want buy the phone you take the 500back and if you buy you make me a payment of 4500.at that time I was not able to understand why is asking for so and wheather he is a fraud or not.Then I asked him wheather he can come to my house, he said he would come.


but he again said the same thing that to make him payment of 500.so I was trying the doesnot ask for that but he kept on asking for it.so I handed my phone to my dad and he told him to come what is the problem is coming here.we would buy the phone from your if it's ok, then he said he doesn't have the money for transport.now how strange if it is that you are having a Mi note 4 and if , you might be living in a good house and you don't have money even for transport.he only needed 15rs to come to my home .and he did n't have even that much of money.my father convinced. Him for takinf 100rs .dad askede to make him payment of 100rs.i said I am having a feeling that this person is fraud .my dad said he seems ok and he really might come also the offer was so luring .because a day before that day I missed a j5 for 3500 which costs 11k.and it was sold moments before I called .So I didn't wanted to miss this offer .so I transfered him 100rs through paytm as I was not able to load cash in airtel money.


he told me that he got the money.and it was 12pm that time and he said he would because for my house.i called him at 12.30pm he said he had left out home at 1pm.he said he will s in bus after eating my lunch at 2pm I called him he said he is still in bus .i asked him how ot got so late in bus he must have reached to my house in 30minutes.he said what he can di if the bus is at halt.I gave him my address and he said is coming at 5pm I called him but I received a automatic answer that we are receiving a busy tone.i called him multiple times each time busy tone was the answer.i called him from my second sim .he picked up and said he is in coming .at 5.30pm I again called him and now my second sim was also geeting the busy tone answer


.Now it was clear that this s was f a fraud .then I called from my mom's phone and asked him in sacrastic manner thay brother you are still available in bus .he said nothing I continued bro what.you got by stealing 100rs from me, if u needed you could have asked from me.you wasted my time from 12to 5pm in that time, we could have gone out to shopping , he said nothing and hanged up tha call.


So this is what happened to me and I was fooled.knowingly that it is fraud I got into it.i took a risk.i want to be careful from these fraud and don't open these ads.
