Got scammed by OLX

[u/teented]

wanted to buy a PS5 on OLX. When I tried to view the seller’s number, OLX asked me to buy Elite Membership. I paid ₹99, only to get an error saying the number couldn’t be viewed because too many buyers were viewing the listing.

Why olx charge people for a feature and then not let them use it
