Sir, Now a days when a ad is posted on olx mainly IPhone advertisements. Some strangers mainly from(Ebadan,Nigeria) offers a tentalising money for that product and tells the seller to courier the product (sometimes-Banglore,Kolkata) and after they negotiates to pay to seller and it is getting very much offensive. Many local FIR has been launched against them but no action is taken against them... so i request you to look after this topic and get a solution because many people do not know about this and geeting robbed. Thank you.
