[Resolved]  Airtel Digital Dish — Fraud

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Hi All,

My name is Wasim Khan and I from Chennai. I am using Airtel DTH svc from past six months. Yesterday (05/09/10) I got a message to my registered Airtel mobile# from Airtel DTH svc stating that I have won a Airtel Digital set top box free with 2yrs of free connection and Rs.2399 gift hampers absolutely free. In that message I was advised to register my name and address at www.airteldigitaldish.com on the same day before 12:00 AM to get the free gift and Airtel DTH connection.

The following day (06/09/10) I received another message stating that I need to pay customer svc tax of Rs440/-only at the nearest State Bank of India branch in the favor of Kartick Pal, Ac#[protected] and also to fax the receipt to fax#[protected] on 06/09/10 before 3:30 PM or else I wont get the SET top Box.

This raised a concern and alarm whether this message were true or not. I quickly browsed Airtel digital dish on Google and to my surprise I found that lots of innocent people where cheated from this message. I request the Cyber Crime team to investigate and take severe action on these people.

I am also attaching the screen shots which I took from Airtel digital dish website which I copied as a proof for my prize. I should thank god now that this proof will help cyber crime to find the culprits

Thanking you,
Wasim Khan. A

Hello Rakesh

I also received a similar email two days ago. we logged in the website and put up our details and today we found that the website no loger exists. Please let us know clearly if this is all fraud. And if possible please publish an add in all newspapers specifying the same so that all others are also safe from this. Luckily we haven't paid any amount anywhere.
