[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — complaint regarding use o[censored]nfair means to sell recharge of rs 509

Address:Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, 482001

Today i went to "idea store - 103, mangalam, shastri bridge, napier town, jabalpur, madhya pradesh 482001" to get frc of my mobile for post paid to prepaid migration which costs only rs. 76. I informed the customer service agent my mobile number and service request number, and immediately they issued a request to bar (Block) my number and rudely told me to do extra recharge of rs. 509 otherwise they will not finish the frc or activate my sim and my sim will be blocked forever. I called 12345 from my other idea sim but i did not get any help from there also. This is a severe case of coercion and fraud. I did not wanted to do recharge of 509 and only wanted frc of 76 but the staff threatened and forced me to hand over rs. 585..

The customer service agent totally refused to do FRC and activate sim unless i pay 585 for an extra recharge which i did not wanted. They yelled and abused me until i had to pay the money unwillingly to prevent my sim from getting totally blocked. Please take strict action against the staff.
