OLX Scam Alert

Beware of buyers claiming to be overseas workers (e.g., working in Saudi Arabia) who offer to buy expensive items like smartphones for family members in another city (such as Faisalabad). They build quick trust using emotional or religious appeals, then ask you to ship the item via TCS or transport. Once you arrive at the courier office, they demand a video of the packing and a photo of the receipt, promising to transfer the money immediately upon receiving proof. In reality, once they receive the receipt details, no money is ever transferred, and the seller loses both the item and the payment. Never send shipping slips or dispatch items until the full amount is officially cleared and reflected inside your bank account.
