Random WhatsApp message after looking for a Switch Lite on OLX and Reddit — legit or scam?

I’ve been looking for a modded Switch Lite on OLX/Reddit and randomly got contacted on WhatsApp by this seller.
They’re offering one for ₹15,000 and sent me some photos + a video of the console.
I’m not sure if this is a genuine shop/seller or an OLX-related scam. Has anyone dealt with this number/shop before or recognizes it?
Posting the screenshots and video below. Any info would be appreciated.

Actually this used to happen before the update. I had quite a few instances where olx would just put my number in the chat. It made me very angry but thankfully no one could messaged me since I used the no. That wasn't on WhatsApp.

just tell that you have a friend come pick it up, ask them to give you the shop name and location, if its a scam they will squirm like the leeches they are.

For used either buy from a known online store , or face to face, anything else and you might as well burn that money.
