I Abhijeet Kumar serving in Indian Air Force Since 2002, Presently i am posted strength of 2 Wing Airforce station and residing at NP area, Lohegaon Pune 411032. While searching a scooty for my wife for new or used. I searched an OLX Advertisement No.1127438919 about a scooty pep plus in name of shabbir shaik.on 18 sep 17 I started chatting with him, he referred a mob no 8655556444 and advise to chat on whats App. He send scooty vehicle pics Reg no MH14DW1715 and a voice message in which he narrate that its my sister scooty, she went foreign for education and her scooty is at farm house his servant (Raju) will drop vehicle after making a deal. I fanilasied that deal on 14000, he gave a mob no of Raju (his servant) 7900060456.

I talked with Raju, he told me that make atleast 4250 payment on Account no :468100050300448 NAME: SAJID MOHD SHAIKH IFSC CODE TMBL0000468, TAMILNAD MERCANTILE BANK LTD, THANE for transportation. I confirmed from the owner he told me to pay. I paid 4000 on said account through NEFT(19 SEP 17). He again called and said that he has not got that amount so sent again through IMPS but i shown my account statement to owner on whts app. But owner again tell to payment for 4000. Due to our money safety i again paid 4000 through IMPS on tha same account (19 SEP 17). Totally i have paid yet 8000 on 19 sep 17. After some hours he called me and told that plz make full payment i cant tk ur vehicle without full payment. After a lot of discussion his owner also told the same sentence. Due to my money was got trapped by both i again pain Rs 5000 on same account on 19 SEP 17. Total i have paid 13000 as on 19 Sep17. In between i cross verified with VAHAN app found scooty was on another name of HORNE GASPER EDWIN. Raju confirmed it is his owner friend. Raju now crying for 4000 (NEFT) that yet it is not credited and assured that he will transfer money at the time of delivery of scooty. I again transfer Rs 4000 money in his account through IMPS on 19 SEP 17. Total yet 17000 have paid. He told that its too rainy tomorrow i will take ur vehicle.

On 21 Sep 17 he cried for 7000 saying that no vehicle is going toward pune only one vehicle and demanding 7000. So i have only Rs 4000. Plz transfer 3000 more then it will returned to you. I denied him and told i will not give u money any more. On 22 Sep17 morning he agin called and told that plz transfer 3000 today you will get that vehicle. I paid 3000 more to him. Now i paid 20000 as on 22 Sep 2017. After some time he again called to me and said that his money has deducted by the bank for loan of his father tractor. So plz agin transfer Rs 7000. I denied him. His owner told that i have horse farm at goa panji (GULMOHAR FARM Z/578C PRINCES LINES PANJIM BEACH RD)and Nasik road (GULMOHAR FARM GUNJALI GAON KRISHNA GAON ROAD MUMBAI NASIK ROAD NEAR HP PETROL PUMP), i m not able to help him. He given PAN CARD AZJPP7601G (PATEL VISHAL HASMUKHBHAI) ON DLNO MH04200500443A8 and some photographs of her home AND HORSES and swore on mother name that he return on Monday please pay him Rs 7000. Again i paid 7000 Rs to him on 22 SEP 17 & total of Rs 27000 and told deliver that vehicle today. Raju confirmed that he has taken the vehicle and two horses for delivery to pune (urlichanchan)on same vehicle. Around 4pm he told that plz transfer Rs 10000 because his transport was captured by the Traffic police of irdpuri, i totally denied for payment. Again his owner called me for payment, i totally denied him.
After hard talk with both Raju and his owner he denied to deliver that vehicle at my address and told that i will not return money. And collect ur vehicle at my farm house which is near 300km from here. I again talked with him in requested manner he denied to give vehicle both and told that come to my farm house. I told him i will lodge FIR against u he told me on phone that POLICE MERA KUCH NHI UKHAR LEGI, JHA JATA HAI JA. And abuse me and my family. He also threaten my family that i will finish your family from there itself , no body will help you and forget your money.

I request the authority that please takes a proper action against such culprit which not only demise the rule and regulation but also make a mock of police action. I shall be obliged if you kindly take quick action to trace the culprits and recover the cash.

Yours faithfully,

(Abhijeet Kumar)
