So i put up my case and cooler on olx.
Suddenly this guy Deepak Sharma messaged me that he wants to buy.
Once the contact was shared he started chatting in whatsapp and tried to do the QR code scam where ultimately I'll pay him the amount. Lol
Here is his number.
And lastly he says "bangalore bahut bda hai tu nahi to koi aur sahi "
Meaning Bangalore is quite big. If not you then some one else.

Should have been an uncut chat.. evidence should always be strong with hiding anything unless personal info.

That was on call. Where he said it.
Now I'm trying to talk with this guy.
The deleted messages are his gpay account and QR code screenshot.
What i deleted is my location.

Most of the talk happened in what's app call. So i don't have proof of that.

So what happened was this. While on the call he sent me a screenshot of QR code with 1 rupee on top of it. And told me to open gpay and scan this code from gallary and then I'll get 1 rupee on my account. That's itself is a give away.
Plus i have heard of these scams a lot.
And we all know if you are receiving money you need not to do anything. You just wait for a notification that you received the money.

I've been asking this continously wherever this kind of replies given...but no one respond :(

Again asking you, please explain me how its possible to do outgoing payment using QR scan without entering PIN?

Bro it is not possible. This happens because the person selling is unaware of this that you need not to scan and put OTP etc to recieve the money.
They hold you on the call, divert your mind while you do this. It is a simple miss direction.
