Online fraud assistance
hi, i was recently defrauded by a gentlemen and his wife. They were selling a vehicle on OLX and we had an agreement regarding the vehicle. I unfortunately fell for their trap and now they do not want to hand over the vehicle as discussed. When i contacted OLX they asked me to report it to the police station and ask for a subpoena so that they can release the details of the seller to me. Kindly advise what i can do about this situation. this is really fraud as when i call them they tell me that they dont have the car.

Dear Thina M, you are advised to immediately go to the police station and open a case of fraud/theft by false pretences. The police will then investigate the issue and arrest the culprits.
