There is an incident of cyber crime happened to me while buying a phone through an OLX add.

Now, coming to my case, the dealer had provided a whatsapp no +918088635200 and operates a company from England, company address is as below: Phone Link Electronics Limited. 28 Jutland Road, Hartlepool, Durham, TS25 l1LS, England Registered number of the company-09993042 Phone no- ++442038683771 As per my deal with him, I payed an amount of 16000 Rs on the CBI account no given by him through net banking for which he gave me the following bank details: 1)Central Bank of India Account no-3628024348 IFSC code- CBIN0281303 Banch- Fancy bazar 2)State bank of India Account no-20308687722 IFSC code-SBIN0017400 Branch-ZEMABAWK After my order placement, that person provided me with the shipping details of DTDC with tracking no-1509610699, Reference no-6950025E8C I made the payment on 01.11.0207 and on friday morning the Person claims to be a delivery boy- Mr. Wilson speaks in a foreign accent operating an Indian no- +7503227314 called me and said that he is waiting at Delhi Intenaational airport Terminal no 3 and I need to pay clearance charges of 20999 rs to get the mobile. I contacted that dealer on whatsapp for refund of my money and now he is not returning. he calls himself Marco Steve and he still remains online cheating people like me in India. I request you to please direct the Mumbai Cyber cell to look into the case and break this nexus and I am sure few Indians must have been involved as well. I request the cyber branch to freeze the account details I have provided in the mail above so that no further transactions can be made on these accounts. Also, please find out the information through the dealer sim card no- +918088635200 and the delivery persons -+917503227314 which he is still operating and online on whatsapp. I request for the speedy action otherwise it may not be possible to reach to these people and break this racket. I specifically want that Mumbai cyber cell handles the case as I believe they will take timely action. Please help my money back its a hard earned money for me.

Please find the attached whatsapp conversation file with the dealer for your reference. Thank you
