Dear Sir,
ONGOING FRAUD IN THE NAME OF AIRTEL
This is to report a fraud taking place in the Name of Airtel.
Firstly there is a call from an lady who introduces herself as an Airtel employee Varsha from Airtel office.(ph number: 9987723748) on Saturday Apr 25th.
She tells me that your no. is XXXX and you have been selected to be upgraded into the Corporate plan.
The plan reduces the minimum monthly charge to Rs.49 and your callcharges will be 30 ps Airtel2Airtel, 50 ps other networks and 1 Rs STD. Also one no. i have to select which will be free dialling.
All this would come at the down payment of Rs.600 out of which 500 will be refunded in the future bills.
They said they would send a man to our office or home for the collection.
I received call from this lady quite a no of times confirmation acceptance of upgrade, also she said that she could upgrade any other Airtel no of my family/friend for the same amount. I confirmed another airtel 2 nos of my family.
So on Monday, the represantative came to my office in Forst He was named Jai, was was dressed casually in a Jeans and casual shirt (quite contradictory to an executive from airtel)
He has brought along a plastic bang, containg 2-3 reciept of Airtel and a brochure of Nokia (probably 1605)
He led me into filling the reciept no (861726) which was in triplicate. he wrote the amount of Rs. 2450 as being made payment.
Rs.600 each for 2 upgrades and Rs 600 each for 2 new Sim Cards (the nos which he gave were 9004005252, 9004885252)
and 50 Rs. handling.
Then he went on giving me the 3rd page of the Reciept (MY COPY) and left to return in the evening with the new sim cards etc.
He told the the PLAN upgrade would be done as soon as he reached office.
He hasnt showed up till date.
Calling up the mobile no.9987723748, first the so called Airtel rep. told us that he would be coming the next day, was in Dadar and gave all sorts of different reasons.
Now, since yesterday 27th April she isnt receiving our calls made from any mobile or landlines.
Now, i checked on the internet and with my friends, and found out that this is a fraud scheme whereby we are left without any help whatsoever.
I would like AIRTEL as a responsible company to catch hold of this woman (from he mobile no, i dont this it would be very difficult to get hold of her current position)
and her associated such the no persons are duped in the Name of AIRTEL henceforth.
Thanking you in anticipation.
