On 5th july, i received the below message,
"follo celebrities service has been [protected]@rs90" for 30days. txn id n[protected], service will be renewed after validity expiry"
So when i called the customer care, they said they can not do anything about it. and this service is activate via internet.
But i did not request for any such services. also they said it will be activate only if i confirm by sending a message.
So i told them i did not send any such confirmation and i asked the executive to provide me details about these confirmation message that they claimed to be sent by me, but then customer care said its not possible to retrieve such information. they are not ready to give any information and just ignore my concern by by saying that it is not by airtel.
If not by airtel why do they have access to airtel account???
How can airtel deduct money from my balance without any confirmation.
The executive said that these services are not part of airtel, but then how could they have access to my account balance if they are not part of airtel, and if not, then airtel should take customer's permission before giving access to external parties.
Also, i could see that this same issue has been faced by other customers too. so, if ppl didnt notice such things, then airtel will keep scamming the customers.
Other reports of similar scam:

Could you please provide any solution???
