55315 call charged rs.540

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka, 560085

In my postpaid bill i was charged additional rs.540 against spl number dial 55315 which i didn't made myself. They insist, i spoke to this number for 59 mins on october 2nd. This is not a valid number and i could see so many complaints against this particular number, in this forum.

It's not one or two rupees but 540 rs. This is really absurd about airtel forcing me to pay for this after being a customer for 10 years. I don't...
