Airtel Lottery
Fraudsters calling on behalf of Airtel

I would like to caution & get help from consumer forum on a call I received from 923065557133 on my airtel mobile number saying that I have won a lottery of 15.25 lakhs on my airtel sim number. The person calling mentioned that he was calling from Mumbai on behalf of Airtel & he could have the cheques delivered at home at 1800hrs today or I could have it collected from my nearest branch of SBI. The person calling also said that your voice is being recorded & I would need to disclose my pehchanpatr number. Also that the recording would be played in Sahara One channel at 2100hrs tonight. The pre-condition before which cheque details would be disclosed was to remit a sum of Rs.5, 500/- to their account. Suspicious of this, I immediately checked the area code 9230 on the web & found out that this call was originating from Pakistan whereas the person calling mentioned that he was calling from Mumbai. I feel this a new method devised for money laundering by anti social elements & request that a thorough investigation be carried out on the above mentioned number & if possible nab such fraudsters at the earliest. I mean how could they get hold of my sim number which was exactly the same number he had quoted! Now, I am even more of the opinion that somebody from Airtel is hand in glove & compromising their customer numbers/details... Waiting for a response...
