[Resolved]  Vodafone — *131* scam

Address:

Thane, Maharashtra

Hi,

My mobile number is [protected] and on 25th February 2012, i got a call early in the morning from a fellow from the number [protected] introducing himself as a Vodafone executive. As per him, I was the recipient of free talktime worth Rs. 500/- from Vodafone and to complete the formalities, i had to dial *131*30*[protected] and get a 2 digit code. He would then call me back and confirm the 2 digit code and immediately ensure the transfer of talktime worth Rs. 500/-.
I did precisely as instructed and to my shock and horror, i got a message saying that Rs. 30/- has been transferred from my account to the same number [protected]. I tried calling the number back but to no avail as the number had blocked all incoming calls.

Is there any way I can get my money back and most importantly, is there any way that the fraud person is punished so that no one else gets trapped in this scam?

Thanks and Regards,
Vishal Somal
