HI!
I use an airtel sim card on my phone
I've received a SMS on 6th jan 2009 stating
!!URGENT! Your phone number has been selected for a $5000 prize guaranteed! to claim your prize call
+[protected].
the Message center is =[protected]

The above SMS was also received by one of my family members using reliance connection stating to call to some other number for the Lottery prize.
here the message center was different.

After investigating a bit i found these numbers was of Montreal a city in Canada.

Can anyone find or see what is the exact SCAM about, and help other all who received such Pishing SMS.


CAN ANYONE PUT SOME LIGHT OVER IT

I am the postpaid customer of airtel in j&k since 2004. when they have luanched the airtel company in Jammu&Kashmir. Now after 5 years i want to purchase a new Postpaid SIM. But all show rooms says there are only 2 numbers available in postpaid. 9797 series and nothing is left in other series. What service is providing the airtel J&K to its customers. They are not able to manufacture more than 2 postpaid sims. i visit all the showrooms of airtel in J&K like Preduent Communications Karangar, Chanpora Outlet, and Sammad Communications Humhama Budgam. But same answer "we have only two postpaid numbers available "but they are very odd numbers to purchase. This is the service of airtel in kashmir for their royal customers. Thankyou.

I AM A CUSTOMER OF BHARTI AIRTEL FROM LAST 6 YEARS MY CELL NO. IS [protected] BILL PAYMENTS PAYING ON TIME, EVERY TIME. I AM FACING PROBLEM OF NETWORK AT bahadurpura, near ramatalkies, HYDERABAD ABOVE AREA IS NOT LONG MORE THAN 5 KM FROM NAMPALLY(HYDERABAD RLY.STATION). AREA IS LOCATED ON HYDERABAD---BANGLORE HIGHWAY, ALL WAREHOUSES & INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES ARE THERE. NETWORK OF OTHER MOBILES LIKE VODAPHONE, IDEA, RELIANCE, TATA ARE VERY GOOD EXCEPT AIRTEL.

I HAVE SO MENY COMPLINTS TO CUSTOMER CARE BUT TILL DATE NOT RECTIFING MY PROBLEM.

Sir,

Please feel the anguish i am having.I had an offer from Airtel giving 10 days free Hello Tune.I had called Customer Care before the expiry period of that offer & it was deactivated sucessfully.The next day i get a sms saying thanks for continuing with Hello Tunes & you will be charged Rs 30/ Month.I called tthe customer care executive to enquire whether i have been charged(executive did'nt answer for it) if i have beeen charged i want it refunded & then they are saying since you didnt get sms telling that your hello tune has been deactivated you will be charged.Then when i cleared that it not my mistake but companys mistake for not sending sms then they promised me for refunding.Then again i called customer care for enquiring about my balance & was happy to know that i have not been charged & thanked executive for giving me the information.Then i got the greatest shock when i got charged for calling customer care Rs 15, when that is absolutely free.And my balance which had been Rs 32 before calling customer care is now showing negative balance.Now when i am calling Customer Care my call is not being connected to customer care executive nor can i send my complain through sms.Also my outgoing calls & outgoing sms has been barred.While i can call customer care through other mobile no.they are also attending their calls (which my friend already called for me).
Sir can this be called as Customer Care Centre or Customer Suffering Centre.
Its really like they are taking revenge on me.I know its hardly a matter of 40 or 50 rupees but do you think they can act in such a cruel & mean way to a cutomer.

I seek your support & help.Also from all the viewers who are reading this.

I am writing such a complaint 1st time in my life so just ignore if i have written some harsh words

Hoping something will happen soon.

With Warm Regards

My cell no is [protected]. I got a message from airtel india stating Rs. 555 talktime with Rs. 555 recharge in roaming. I recharged on 12 Jan 08 with Trans ID[protected] from Kolhapur Maharashtra. Whereas only One rupee was credited into my account.> Any airtel employee either at Kolhapur relationship centre or at 121 service are talking clearly and giving lackaladacsal answers.

Airtel seems to have resorted to making money by deducting Rs 10 for services not activated by the customers. searching in this forum of the TextBasedServices subscription service on airtel WAP. You’ve been charged Rs.10 Enjoy http://m.igfun.com.

Airtel needs to understand the gravity of the situation and act immediately. The customer support is also not supportive.

I have called the support twice and even recieved a ref # [protected] for the complaint. When I called again, this number had no information of the problem. Moreover the agent kept the call after mentioning standard procedure of closing call {thank u for calling airtel}

Calls to the Nodal officer and the Appelleate officer are also never picked.

All in ALL Airtel is taking the Indian Customers for a Ride and making money.

ACT !!

I have 2 MBPS connection but since last 15 days I am receiving ~200 KBPS speed. Airtel tells that they migrated a server for my area so due to this it happening. Airtel did not inform me for this; even they are not ready to give a refund for this trouble. I registered a complaint (#[protected], still facing the trouble. If this doesn’t get rectify and if airtel does not give me waiver for the trauma period of 15 days I will lodge go to consumer court.

Dear Sir,
I am not activating any LOGO PACK (BW LOGO) subscription service on my mobile number which is [protected]. But I have been charged Rs.10 three times by the following massage:-

You have been renewed for (Logo Pack, BWLogo) subscription service on airtel STK. You have been charged Rs.10.

I have already contact costumer care many times and also this service have been deactivated by a complaint number 274407 on DECEMBER 31, 2008. But also beside this happened, I have been charged again Rs.10 on JAN.13, 2009.This is highly disgusting, irresponsible & unprofessional from behalf of Airtel. You are requested to look this matter and deactivate this service from my number and also return my balance.
with regards,

HI
i had airtel broadband connection in my father's name in Indore. when i joined in Bhopal i asked airtel to transfer our broadband connection to Bhopal. i had changed my ordinary modem to a wifi-enabled one a couple of months ago and i brought that modem with me. when airtel guys in Bhopal came to activate my internet connection i had to pay Rs 200/- as security against the modem (which i did not need, adn did not take) here in Bhopal again. After i began using my connection here, airtel people began troubling my parents for the modem in Indore. they have double security against that modem, they have proof (they have the serial number of the modem i am using- in Bhopal also they noted it down) that i am using that modem for airtel connection only, and i don't have a new modem here. still, they are asking us to courier that modem back to indore and again pay for a new wi-fi modem here in Bhopal.
my question is why are they harassing my parents like this? and what is the use of subscribing to a large company like airtel if they are going to behave like a small local comapny, and refuse to let us use a modem we have paid twice for, and transger it with our airtel connection??
maybe there was a mistake but, when i asked for the tranfer over email and over the phone why was i not isntructed to hand over the modem? when i was getting the connection here, why was i not instructed then??
now why should they upset and harass my parents in Indore??? i won't get a refund instantaneously but i'll have to pay for the new wifi mdoem right now!
what is the use of trusting a company like airtel if it is going to behave like this with 4 yrs old customers?? and we even use a prepaid sim card of airtel's! why shouldn't we stop using their services if they are going to trouble their honest and paying customers like this??
I hope someone high up looks into this incident and changes their behaviour and policies in favour of the customers. it has been very troublesome and worrying and disgusting to take care of this entire issue as i have not been dishonest with the company in any way, and have actually paid more than i should have had to.
Reva.

Dear sir/madam

This is not so good from the Airtel Mobile Network . Without using that Subscription Text Based Services or Airtel WAP they use to charge 10 Rupees daily from my account. and when i am Complainting about they are not deactivating the Service they are giving reasons that it is wap based or text based service. while Complainting about this service regularly they are not providing Complaint no. to the Consumer. each and every Complaint when consumer providing complaint about the service they shold regularly provide complaint no. i am fed up of airtel cheating service.

sir, i have been an airtel postpaid customer from the past 4 years, made all my payments on time, infact made excess payments every month and even now my account has a credit balance.
i have been facing network problems at my residence since the past one year, been complaining over the phone, via mail and even written complains.due to the network problem my calls are dropped very very often and i need to make calls to the same number over and over again and i am being charged.
airtel promised to install an internal antenna booster at my place and refund me the network bonus promise, but never did so.all my complains are waste and no action is being taken.
i am writing to the consumer forum as a last resort and i will really appreciate if some pressure is put on airtel and the solve the problem as promised.i m sure soo many airtel user near my house have the same complains but dont know wht to do when unattended.
i request u to please do the needful and help me .
thanking you

My Complaint Number with Airtel is : 15875044

Hi all,

I am new to this fourm and this is first posting here. I am using Airtel Broadband from past 2 years.
From Past three months, my Airtel bill incresed by 300%. I am not sure if
Airtel is adding some one DSL usage in my account or Some one is stealing bandwidth from my connection.

I requested Airtel to book a complain but they said it is not possible that some can misuse connection.

Please Guide me, how to teach lesson To Airtel.

I know, if airtel employee wants they can share my bandwidth with some of his friends.Right now i am away from India so whatever i can do, i can do online. Please suggest if i can Complain TARI or some other bodies.

Thanks.

I want to remove hellotune facility on my airtel mobile [protected].Each time they are renewed without my consent
