Person named Sachin(fake), PRETENED TO BE AN INDIAN ARMY JAWAN contacted me showing his interest in renting out my property in Bhopal. (using 99acres.com)
He was looking to rent out and looking videos and photos of property. During KYC he shared PAN, AADHAR and CSD Canteen Card. To give as token amount he said their Account Department help them with the deposit amount hence they will be calling me to verify property details.

Later I got a whatsapp call from INDIAN ARMY ACCOUNT DEPARTMENT saying they use only MERCHANT CARD for payments to ensure that other party is valid. Hence to make a transaction other party must also add INDIAN ARMY BANK ACCOUNT as beneficiary. 

When a third party is approved in my account that person guided me to make a transaction of INR 5/- to insure that I have added them correctly and was telling me to later scan QR code. 

I sense this and denied as it is a scam.
Later they did not contact me and they removed their display photos of INDIAN ARMY.

I'm registering my complaint with a hope that these bast***s shall be caught and punished by the law before they make another victim.

I believe they can be caught certainly because the account number they are using for transferring funds is valid and registered with HDFC bank.
Also I'm sharing all the ID's they shared and contact numbers.

Sachin: +91 78962 21402
Accounts: +91 87264 90069

Beaware of these fraud guys. Today I got a call from someone Harpal Singh against my posting on housing.com for renting my house. He introduced me as Army personal and agreed to pay the rent and security deposit amount that i asked in my posting. He said he will pay from army merchant account and said his captain will call to get the details of bank account for the payment. After few mins I got a call from someone else asking me to add his bank account to my account. This made me suspicious as to get the payment from anyone we never have to add his/her bank account. I challenged him over the phone and said that I will track you and complain to cyber crime. Then he put the phone off and blocked me.

So guys be careful and always remember, you don't need to add anyone bank account to your in order to get the payment. If someone asks you to do this, it's a fraud.

He claimed that he as two kids got recently posted to our city and asked for pictures of the house.

He immediately forwarded "his" Aadhar card, PAN card details as well.

My sister in law also received a call from 7873916912 calling herself seema devi wife of Deepu Jayapalan an army officer. They wanted to shift to Kolkata next week itself. She then shared the aadhar, pan and grocery card. The details are exact match as shared above. She had promised to make the payment through gpay. I then searched for the authentication of the pan and then the name deepu jayapalan. I got this post. I stopped my sister in law from doing any further discussion or talking.Thanks for sharing.

Got a call from a person posing to be Saurabh Mishra (Army personnel) to rent my house published in 99acres.com. He shared his Aadhaar Card, PAN and Army Canteen card and I sent him the rental agreement to review. Next day he said the advance would be paid Army and his manager Captain Jora Singh would call me to make that happen. 

I got multiple calls to guide me setup account for "Army merchant reverse account" and they asked me to transfer Rs1 to 2 accounts and receive the amount credited twice in my account. They told me that transfers are automatic and setup for a daily limit. The whole conversation and the way they tried to guide was suspicious. And when I asked them to come on video call they denied. I googled and found this page. As I was adding this note one of them actually adorned an army dress and came on camera - but the Army dress was "fake" and the face did not match the photo completely. I asked him about Army oath and he fumbled. He kept telling me to follow the process and not doubt much. Details posted below to warn others and make the process and find and punish such fraudsters strong. 

Mr Saurabh Mishra, s/o Sabha Shankar Singh of Amiliya Kalan, Allahabad, UP 212303 aged about 23 Yrs, phone: +91 7381714516; Aadhar No: 4923-3825-5460; PAN No: EGRPM9189R

Person posing as Captain Jora Singh: +91 90906 75021

Account details shared with me:

1) Account holder name. Krishna Kumar 
Saving Account: 50100514291283
IFSC code. HDFC0001742 

2) Account holder name. Shivam Srivastav
Saving Account: 50100514231502
IFSC code. HDFC0001888

This seems like a coordinated cyber crime to dupe simpletons. Using Indian Army's name for such crimes makes the other party more easily believe them. English is very poor but the thugs have learnt a few things about internet banking transactions.

This seems like a coordinated cyber crime by a gang that operates this racket. They have trained some thugs. Wonder how are banks not doing a thorough KYC before opening a Savings account. Using Indian Army's name for such crimes makes the other party more easily believe them. English is very poor but the thugs have learnt a few things about internet banking transactions.

Numerous complaints have been filed, can some action to curb this?

From magic bricks app and he is a army personnel and want the flat on rent as he is in Delhi can't come and pay the advance as he requested me to transfer the money in merchant account and acknowledged that I will get back the money back.... As i was lucky I didn't processed anything and first researched about these and asked him to pay the deposit by any other medium.... And then he disconnected the call and also deleted the documents which he shared with me on WhatsApp.

We posted our 2bhk flat for rent and received a call from someone named Deepak Pawar - 8792170964. He shared his Adhaar Pan & an official Army ID (something that can never be shared to general public)

He said he'll pay rent and security amount in advance via their Office Army Merchant Account & was asking us to input an Account No. & IFSC code on Gpay to transfer Re 1 to verify. 

Clearly while receiving a payment, we don't have to input someone else's account information. So this was a scam, we immediately told him that we don't want to make the deal, either he can pay in person & we'll give him the receipt, or he can transfer on Gpay like everyone does. He was adamant that this is Army's procedure and you've never done this before which why we were not believing him.

A couple minutes later about searching for this scam online, we found this New Article with the same name (Deepak Pawar) acting as Army personnel to loot money
https://www.news18.com/tech/new-scam-alert-fake-army-officers-targeting-flat-owners-looking-for-tenant-on-property-websites-8314315.html

Please don't ever send the money to someone OR scan a QR code if you are receiving the payment. Scanning is done only to make the payment.

Also never send a deposit of even Re 1 to someone, especially when you've never met them
