Got Cheated by an Airgun Seller

Post by ankur_ank007 » Fri Sep 24, 2021 1:11 pm

Dear Team,

I am really ashamed but I need to admit, I got cheated recently by someone posing as a genuine CO2 pellet gun seller who contacted me via this portal only.

His name is Sayyed Iman...

Mobile Numbers: +91-8792468178 & +91-9620764232 Running business with the name of "Hardware India".

Please beware of him & do any business with utmost care.

Regards,
Ankur

Cheaters most of the time will contact you via private message (PM). Beware of anyone who doesn’t post openly and contact you via PM.

Hi,

He approached me via Instagram & then through WhatsApp after the exchange of contact numbers. Payment term was an advance of 50% & balance on delivery. I transferred advance & then the whole term of trade changed unilaterally & the balance payment was being demanded at once else dispatch will not be done. All reasons & talks failed & then finally the guy stopped taking calls as well...
