MiniOrange Mediator

We have seen an absolutely mind boggling amount of scams occur on these sites across the past few months. Targeting both sellers and buyers. We have losses ranging anywhere from 4 Lakh Rupees to a few thousand rupees.

And the response from OLX, the banks and the local authorities has been completely inept(tk) in most cases. Out of all the cases we have seen less than 1% were able to get their money back. The only way that we see these types of scams being stopped is by taking the protective measures into our own hands.

To stop these scams from happening again and again, and to protect the normal people that are affected by them we have created the miniOrange Mediator.
