[Resolved]  Airtel — Airtel super store activation without confirmation

A value add service named super store has been activated in my mobile balance has been deducted accordingly without my confirmation.

I have contacted the customer care and they are telling this has been activated through clicking some third party url's. i'm sure that i haven't done such activities.

This has happened twice, not just once.
At first, on july 7th i got the conformation message on 5.30 am on service activation. please note that internet was not enabled from the night before. i called the customer care and they have deactivated the service and refunded the amount (rs 50) which they have deducted.

Now today 8th july, i got the same service activation message at 1am and rs 35 has been deducted from mobile balance.
Again i called the customer care and they have refused to refund the amount instead they deactivated the service.

I have no idea how these are being activated without proper confirmation. i have been using various airtel connections for the past 10 years and i have faced similar situations in airtel live which they had previously. those deductions were made when i clicked on some link's unknowingly.

I don't have any clue on this as i was not using the internet during the time when the service got activated.
