Airtel — auto deducting the balance in the name of fake services

Sir,

Airtel is frequently 'activating' some 'services', which i didn't subscribed to. No idea about these services. Without my consent they themselves deducting balance like rs.35 for seven days etc. And asking to deactivate the service if i don't want it. Even if i deactivate the service, the amounts deducted are not refunded. When i searched google, i am surprised by the no. Of similar complaints. I'm a prepaid customer of airtel for the past 9 years. They have started looting money in this form for a long time. Iam reproducing the messages i received below.

By looking at the above messages, you can figure out the modus operandi of the looting being done by airtel to its loyal customers. You may not notice the content of these messages as it appears like spam messages, so customer tends to ignore them. But by closely looking at the messages, you can calculate how much sums of money they are auto debiting your account without your knowledge or consent. You will not get any such service but the amount will be deducted from your main account.

I didn't subscribe to any of the above mentioned services by myself. I didn't initiate any such transaction. Hence i want that airtel should provide me full refund of the money airtel have deducted from my account, in the name of all above services

Yours faithfully

Manoj
