My story with banking fraud with my bank account linked to airtel sim will make you inspect and believe that airtel might be behind so many financial frauds happening in india.

After reading my story a media company can run a statistics to identify percentage of frauds on accounts linked to airtel sim phones which will be considerably higher as compared to other mobile phones and it is upto crime police to identify whether airtel executives are involved in these financial crimes

Please read my story and take this to masses so that it helps other people, and punishes criminal facilitators in airtel.

I have a story with evidences against airtel and looking for help from digital and print media to cover my story which si also in interest of nation due to ongoing financial fraud across the world;

My story (About my f. Ir. To cyber crime police gurgaon on bank fraud in my account)

On 28th may 2017; i sensed a sim swap fraud on my mobile no [protected] when my mobile balance as seen on airtel app on broadband seemed to reduce without me using the sim, i carefully checked my phone to find on 28th may that my airtel sim was also working; yet my airtel balance was getting debited;

After realizing something fishy and wrong, i called up airtel customer care to immediately block my sim after realizing something wrong and suspect in my sim card from airtel;

I have series of calls one after another (In space of an hour each on 28th may); and have maintained a call log history with names of airtel customer care officials. Calling reference nos /and list of calling officials whom i spoke and some call recordings which are sufficient to prove the fault done by airtel;

I not only spoke to airetel executives but also called up floor supervisors; to block my airtel sim 5-6 times, and in one of the calls airtel provided me wrong information that my sim is already blocked.

Next day (29th may afternoon) airtel appellate called me and told me next day on 29th may that due to airtel technical error the sim was not blocked, after this i checked my bank accounts finding a fraud of one lakh rupees in my standard chartered account which i reported to standard chartered customer care; unfortunately fraud prevention of standard chartered bank and help and advisory given my standard chartered bank was not sufficient to stop a continued fraud of 97000 on 30th may… (Combining as total fraud of 1.97 lakhs - 1 lakhs on 29th and 97000 on 30th may)

Anyways, in either of above cases airtel is liable to pay the damage plus harassment to me;

Airtel blocked my sim only after i went to airtel store to get a new sim on my name …but till then my 1.97 lakhs were taken out as fraud from my account

Complaint was lodged in cyber police on 30th may (At cyber police gurgaon) where i met senior official of police of gurgaon, haryana and cyber crime police, haryana but it has been a month and the process si going very slow (Despite my repeated requests to police si yet to take the action on airtel and arrest airtel officials who are involved in fraud.

- summary points are:

1) i was told by cyber police the maximum no of banking frauds happen on bank account linked with airtel sim phones. As it easiest to swap/hack airtel sim phones;

2) despite airtel staff knowing about increasing no of frauds using their sims, airtel did not acted to block my sim on 28th which makes my belief stronger that airtel si involved in these crimes; this crime could have been easily prevented by airtel (I have lodged police complaint with gurgaon police but i am yet to find answer whether airtel staff was involved in the fraud or whether it was technology error by largest company of india);

My understanding si that airtel was involved in the fraud and party to fraud,

In my nervous problem, a nd despite struggling with disability and paralysis, i rushed immediately in panic and anxiety to get all my bank accounts blocked; in this was airtel executives caused fraud of 1.97 lakhs in my bank account;

I will always condemn and shame airtel due to this harassment and agony caused to me;

I have all call recordings and proofs against airtel and for its technical failure/ hints that airtel executives are involved in banking frauds happening where customer has airtel mobile linked to bank accounts)

I am looking from contacts in print and digital media where i can share my story which is o[censored]tmost interest and is an example of latest frauds happening today;so that my criminal case with police can be expedited and airtel executives are investigated and punished on this crime…

In short sunil mittal company airtel breeds many criminals in its company who are involved in banking frauds and my plea is to get this investigated in benefit of millions of citizens in india and in giving me justice from airtel.

Sir
this is fraud by airtel retailer that i only want atached adhar to mobile no .i never want to open a airtel account .but airtel retailer and sercvice centre are making fraud by open payment bank ..this misdeed is done by bhumit airtel agency neemuch m.p.
for only 50 rs they make fraud and decieve people who want to link only mbl .

I am not receiving sms from irctc booking details, bank otp, bank transaction sms for the past 2 months. I have complained to airtel two times but they have closed complaints without solving the problem. After seeing all the above complaints i understand that this is being done by airtel to haress consumers. Whenever i lodge complaint they try to blame irctc or bank and ask us to check with them. I asked them how suddenly one fine day irctc, bank stop sending the messages and i told them this is the issue of airtel. Such type of attitude from airtel customer care means all may have to think of changing to some other network. My no [protected]

Hi all,

This is anil using airtel postpaid sim with "[protected]" from couple of years.

Had many issues with airtel billing, network, & customer service etc.. But i hv not escalated or highlighted this issues on any social sights.

Now i had a internet usage issue reporting from past 20-25 days no proper response. Hence, call cc to check the status.

This is a high time the advisor deepak previously mohan lot many from cc team dare to disconnect the call on my face without giving any resolution. Is this the service we should get being an corporate user of airtel.

Being the customer we have all the rights to talk to the supervisors, manager's if they are unable to resolve next level we have all the rights to talk to company ceo. But wn i ask deepak to transfer the call to his supervisor he disconnect my call on my face. Not only he couple of the advisor did the same.

My request is someone from higher level has to check all my call recordings and give me a callback and let me know what action you guys have taken against the advisors.

If i don't get any response within today eod i ll take dz from my end.

Thank you,

Regards,
Anil kumar.

Hi,

First my issue is that i called more than 10 times to airtel to resolve my issue and every time they said senior manager is busy and he cannot take your call. This happens to me more than 5 times. Finally, i got in touch with him after trying for more than 20 days and he promised that my issue will be resolved in 3 days and they will call and confirm. Nothing happened even after 10 days.

Secondly they said they will call back but never got any call from them. This also happens more than 6 times. Once, i ask call center guy that i am waiting until you don't connect me to senior officer. He put my phone on hold for more than 20 mins and no one came back to talk.

I totally got irritated as i called them more than 10 times for this issue but there is no response from them.

My issue is that firstly i paid 5000 for my yearly pack but then later i paid another 500 for activating my hd. On phone they confirm it will be done but the same was not activated even after 6 months and i ended up paying additional 1500 for hd pack. I realized this when my balance went zero.

I fed up calling them and explaining this issue but they are ignoring it and doing nothing.

So, in the end i have decided to go legal and put case on airtel. This is not for money but this is for my right and respect which i lost during this transaction with airtel.

Airtel internet is worst & very slow, cheap marketing of one airtel whenever i try to open any website one airtel gets open i called costumer care 6 times & complained about it but nothing happened they are just promoting wynk music app on one airtel & using very cheap marketing strategy. It's very irritating when you're searching for something important.

I got offer by sms that.. 345= 1gb/day 4g/3g data + unlimited all calls, 28 days. My handset is a 3g set (Microsoft lumia 535). I recharged by rs-345 on 09/07/2017, but i got 1gb data only in total. No further data is not available. When complained to 198, i am said that he has nothing to do. Even 198 official behaved roughly when called for help on 13/07/17.

Seems airtel secure is a scam.
What they mailed... For my device claim – service request # 2124058...

We regret to inform that your device claim has been rejected by the insurance company due to improper handling | no proper care of handset has been taken by insured to safeguard the property..

It's all making money... Nothing else.
I never mishandled my phone ever. Even my 1 &half year old phone looking like as i have ever been careless 4 my phone.
Please do not come with lame excuses like this &provide me constructive answer.

Thanks
Hope to here you soon.

I am posting here to express my dissatisfaction with airtel services and expecting a solution from airtel.

I was a loyal customer to your brand, i was quite happy with prepaid service and network coverage, then these customer care people called us and nearly forced to change to postpaid connection for their own business and incentives and we changed all our prepaid numbers to postpaid, just because we had faith on the brand and its services.

But now, thanks to airtel, our point of view is changed, after bill payment for the month of may, we requested them to close the sim services, informing the bill collector many times as we are not using it currently.

They closed 2 but left one activated and each month we are getting a increased bill.
Why will we pay when we already requested to close. Then someone called us from customer care, to pay the bill and when i told them that i already requested to disconnect the connection she told me, i will have to pay and when i asked for usage details for which i should pay, she disconnected. She was so damn arrogant and first you should teach these people how to talk to customers. We don't have time for this rubbish. This is pure harassment, not expected from a brand like airtel.
Really disappointed. For any business you need to value the customers. All we need is to be charged reasonably. And take it as a review, you have the worst customer care service. We want a solution asap

You are not taking my problem seriosly i already complaint 4 times but there was no solution regarding these ...i am paying for 4 g internet and getting speed less than 3 g and if i complaint they used to tell me that u should clean your sim clear catch and use sim in sim 1 slot but these things dont even work executives are just making me fool ..

Hi

I am srinivas, i placed request for mnp from vodafone network to airtel on my number [protected] on 29th june which got processed on 7th july and my mnp got activated on 11th july.

The problem here is, initially i was given sim at airtel hsr layout office, bengaluru by priyanka, she told me she is unable to register this sim due to some technical glitch and handed over me temporary sim and advised me to collect another sim once my mnp request is completed, as advised i went to airtel to collect new sim and got the new sim, which she never registered and later again i went, now another lady advised me she will register this new sim and update me, but this never happened.

On 11th my number got ported to airtel and due to sim registration issue my number is not working, i again went to airtel office this time sridhar advised me these sims are not registered and handed over me another new sim and promised it will be activated in max 4hours but till now nothing has been done, my phone is not working from past 3 days, every time i call airtel office they simply say it will get activated in another hour, i am hearing this from past 3 days, for sure your staff is either irresponsible or don't have sufficient knowledge to process mnp request, even if i collect sim at road side shop i would have got much better service.

I hope at least now you guys will take some action and activate my number, i am facing lot of issues since my number is not working since 3 days, i even had to cancel my travel due to this

Pls take stringent action against airtel office hsr layout staff and educate them so that these kind of issues don't reoccur.

Please reach out to me on my alternate contact number[protected]

Regards

During my recent foreign trip, i activated international roaming plan. After coming back from, airtel charged me with rs.77, 000/-. Although the limit given was of rs. 14, 000/- and if the limit is crossed the services are stopped. I have not received any sort of calls or email regarding this. Now the airtel executives are calling me and my known persons for paying the bill. I spoke with airtel manager named rahul and told him that i have paid rs. 1600. I asked him to send in written regarding the credit limit. Rahul told me to pay rs. 20, 000 today itself and then he will send in written otherwise legal action will be taken against me. I told him, i'll pay rs. 20, 000 today itself after getting in return but rahul and other airtel executive denied to give any thing in written.

I hereby want to lodge a compalint against airtel and its executives

I have been chasing for a broadband connection still there is no response, moreover they have collected my payment also.
It is a great grievance am writing this mail to express my recent experience with the company. I recently moved to delhi and i had applied for a broadband connection for house use. The hunt (Process) started from june 1st, 2017 on an online request for the connection. I had to constantly chase for the executive to call me back on for checking the feasibility of the connection.

Eventually one of the executive connected me last thursday and i had paid the installation fees (3200) at the very moment and i was promised the installation would happen the very next day and i am still waiting for the connection, moreover there is no courtesy call for the reason on delay. I would like to notify you that am a loyal customer to airtel using the maximum services (Sim, dth).

I am sure the brand will keep its reputation by taking the concern seriously. I reiterate i have been chasing the customer care number almost every day just to hear the same excuses of responding me in 24 hours. Please find the below details of my query,

Someone has withdrawn from my atm on 11/07/2017

I was an airtel user. During my recent foreign trip, I activated international roaming pack. After coming back, airtel sent me a bill of Rs.77, 000/- without any information to me. The credit limit given to me was 14, 000. Upon checking it is clearly mentioned that if the credit limit is crossed, the services are stopped automatically. I was getting threatening calls from airtel and also to my known persons as well. I talked with airtel manager named Rahul, and asked for in written regarding the limit and billing. Rahul denied anything to be in written. And threatened me to that i need to pay 20k within an hour. I said give me in written and I'll pay 20k after getting in written. Rahul said now i will get a notice from legal advisor of airtel in written.

I have not got any update calls regarding the credit limit. I have also paid 1600 as payment to bill.

I want to file a compalint against the company.

I want to cancel my post paid connection, this because i have changed the company, i m moving other place so please deactivate connection.
And the thing my plan was 549rs but i getting the bill was more than 730rs.
Monthly i am not able pay that much amount and i m leaving the company also. I need to go for prepaid plan, pls accept it and do the needful.
