I found a camera seller on Quikr.com from Karnataka. We agreed on paying ₹10,000 upfront, and I’d pay the rest in cash upon delivery. However, he called yesterday saying the camera was stuck in Mumbai customs and needed a clearance fee. I ended up paying another ₹18,000 through bank transfer. Now, I’m worried he might not deliver the camera at all. What should I do?

You have reason to be concerned. The seller’s request for additional payment for customs clearance, especially after an initial agreement, raises red flags. You should immediately file a complaint with the Cyber Crime Cell of the Karnataka Police and the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. Additionally, consider reaching out to Quikr.com’s customer support to report the seller’s suspicious activity.
