My name is Keshav Saini and I stay in East of Kailash, New Delhi. On 18th December, 6 Days back from the date of posting of this complaint, I purchased an Airtel Sim and activated it on the same day. My sole purpose was to use it with 3g data card for internet browsing.
I never made any call nor sent any sms to anybody and nobody other than me and Airtel knows my number, since I am using it only in data card. But from the same day my sim was activated, I am receiving promotional sms from telemarketing agencies since my data card also accepts text messages.
So the question arises how my number was leaked to telemarketing agencies? It's only Airtel that has sold my identity to telemarketing agencies without my concent and knowledge. I had applied for NDNC on the same day my service was activated. So there is a clear case of selling of personal data for financial benefits.
I can't list here my number because doing this will further attract unsolicited sms and spamming.
These kind of breaches should be brought into justice and the companies must be penalized for allegedly stealing and selling personal data.
