This is with respect to a policy which was advertised to me via a phone call. Through this phone call, I happened to become a prey to the so said LIC officer who was calling me from the Fort office of LIC. (as told to me). he said that he is not an agent instead one of the officials and told that this is in respect to the JEEVan Anand policy which is for a sum insUred of Rs.200, 000. he said that i will have to pay for the first 15 yrs a premium of 20k p.a. and then there will be insUrance till 99yrs. this happened on 22nd September. he said today we are giving a discount of 3300rs. which means you will have to pay a premium of rs.16, 700 p.a. only. Being very impressed with the said policy said ok and decided to go ahead .he said oUr verification office will be calling you to verify the details supplied by you, just answer him accordingly. said ok and as said i got a call and answered all his questions regarding birth dates and thats it. he said one of oUr persons will be coming to yoUr place within an hoUr, he shall call you before coming. said ok. got the call and he came home, i only happened to ask his name and dint bother to ask for his card (the biggest mistake i did). he took the cheque which was crossed in the name of lic of India for 16, 700 filled the form in front of me took my signatUre and left. when asked he said his name was sachin. before filling the form he once again explained me the details of the said policy. my cheque got cleared exactly the third day, but till date i haven't yet got any sort of policy document or any receipt from lic. when i called the customer service of LIC they say we can't do anything in this case, its Ur mistake..there are thousands of transactions taking place in a day its not possible to locate just one person's cheque details..you better find out from yoUr bank. when asked the bank - ICICI-, they say we can only say its drawn in the name of LIC no other details can be provided.
i am in a real helpless situation. haven't yet informed anyone about it..dont know what to do whoom to go to for fUrther investigation..NEVER EXPECTED THAT SUCH A FRAUD CAN TAKE PLACE IN THE NAME OF A REPUTED ORGANISATION LIKE LIC.
