AIRCEL service provider deducts money from main account balance in the name of Value Added Services (VAS) without the consent of the customer. They will activate the VAS from their system. As soon as the customer recharge the TOP-UP, they will send the SMS stating that we have activated or subscribe such and such services for a week and Rs 7 is gone. Services like, WLoss, Shayari Pack etc which does not mean anything to us. And, for those who do not wish to subscribe the dialer tune, they are there to activate and deduct Rs 30 per month. And if your account balance is less than Rs 30, their system will auto activate the service for one week again and deduct Rs 7. Not only this, I was in need for BB Services so, I subscribe the BB Internet pack for one month and Rs 399 was charged for the service. I received the confirmation SMS, and my service was valid for 1 month. My remaining balance was Rs 142. And the worst part began again, within 2 hrs, I received another SMS stating that I have successfully activate my BB services for 1 week and again Rs 99 was deducted. I made a complain to 198 and talk to the customer care executive and made a complain registration bearing registration no. 1-[protected] of 25/1/2013. I was told that their system is such a way that I need to deactivate whatever service i was subscribing or else the system will activate as soon as I have the BALANCE. Here, I would like to mentioned that I have already activated BB service for 1 month and how can the system activate another service of 1 week and charging twice for the same service? And, that service for 1 week is over today and my service for 1 month is also gone now. AIRCEL is collecting money from lakhs of customer in the name of value added services, the sum they are collecting per customer is just Rs 7 per week, and most of the consumer does not care for such a small amount, however, collecting such amount from a large number of consumer will amount to a huge sum. It is not less than a SCAM.
