I would like to bring to your notice about one of the fraud happened to me in Bangalore.
I have been to US for a while and I had taken mobile of AT&T, US to use there.
When I was back to India around January I went to Mobile Store, Koramangala in the mid of Feb to unlock the SIM (US) hence I can use the mobile in India.
A service engineer by name Shrishail took the request from me and when I went the next day to collect my mobile he said he lost my US sim card. I was completely shocked and reiterating to try him to get back my SIM. He said he will try and call me back once he gets that. When I tried calling him from next day from my mobile he did not pick the call and when I call from my office after couple of days some how I could get him and he said he could not get it and he regret for the Inconvenience.
I completely believed him but to my shock I started getting bills for that US number for the month of March and April. I came to know this in the mid of April when I receive March month bill to my Email and I could block my SIM card by speaking to customer care in US by end of April.
By then Mr. Shrishail have used my SIM card to call his Friends / Relatives in Bangalore to their local numbers with US International Roaming SIM Card. I have been charged totally USD734.00 (734*50 =36, 700.00INR) from AT&T. The fact is
He can make all those local calls with maximum of 100 rupees by any local service provider. He has made calls to his local mobile number (9986619257) also around 10 times with my US Sim card.
The pathetic part in this fraud is he is trying to save his 100/- Rupees with my 36, 700/-USD which is completely unacceptable.
Please find the below numbers to which he called from US SIM Card in the month of March.
