False legal notice

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 06 December 2015 This query is : Resolved
Hi
We had a flat which we sold through a broker. At the time of the deal, the broker made the contract but didn't bring the buyer along with him. Few days later, as per the contract 10% of the amount was transferred from brokers account to us. Few weeks later we found there is no buyer by the name mentioned in the contract & broker is playing some game.
Few months later, we receive a legal notice from this unknown buyer asking to pay the 10% amount with a 100% interest as we have not furnished the property docs & he could not avail bank loan. The broker too, is asking back for the money .
We asked the broker to take back the legal notice & we will pay the same money what we received (10%)- for which he says he doesn't know the buyer or the lawyer.
It seems the legal notice itself is a fraud document in this case as there is no person who is mentioned as the buyer.
Pls advise what can we do.
Thanks
