I had advertised on no-broker websites in order to sell my Kalyan property.
A member of the army by the name of Deepak Bajrang Pawar contacted me about buying my flat. He claimed that he had been transferred from Delhi and that he wanted to relocate to Kalyan. Without even seeing the house, he was prepared to pay in advance and requested the bank account information to make the payment. I must block the house for him once I receive the payment.
He provided his Aadhar number, LA04051342134900D00 for his canteen card, and other information. He requested my personal information, such as the details of my bank account or Google Pay account, in order to make an advance payment of 100,000.
Upon receiving a call from Mr. Rajendra Singh, he stated that Mr. Deepak Bajrang Pawar had requested payment of Rs. 100,000.00 for an advance on a house reservation. He also requested that we transfer Rs. 5 to the army account in order to verify the account. We did as requested, and in exchange, he transferred Rs. 10 from the army credit card to us and asked for Rs. 49,995.00. We refused and said we had no balance, so they started asking for Rs.9,995.00
We completed the payment and received the mail stating that you must transfer Rs. 40,000.00 because we entered Rs. 49,995.00 into the system; if you do not complete the transfer within five minutes, we will not even be able to return the Rs. 9,995.00.
I then contacted and said that we would file a complaint, and they began withdrawing Rs 10,000.00 from our account. HDFC Bank then blocked the transactions and called to explain that it appeared to be a fraud and had blocked our card.
