OLX is the fastest-growing 2nd hand selling and buying medium and is also good but some people use it for committing scams and frauds and is often seen nowadays.
Let's now see different scenarios in which these frauds take place-
Situation 1: ADVANCE PAYMENTS
Sellers ask buyers for advance payments for some processing fees or courier charges ( for eg. - processing fees or delivering charges 2000 or 1000 ) and it may result into fraud . So, if a seller asks you for some unavoidable charges then you may tell him to pay by himself or include in the selling price.
Situation 2: FAKE IDENTITY
Sellers sometimes show their fake identity being a military man or someone and commits fraud and show it to receive payment in advance .
Situation 3: FAKE BILLS
This is the most popular one, as the seller shows a fake shipping bill and pretends to send the product and asks for 20% or 30% of the payment of the product and rest after the delivery. This is where most of the people get caught in the fraud as the bills he shows are fraud and the buyer thinks that he has the product and makes some payment for the product and becomes the victim.
