Airtel — Recharged wrong Airtel number

Address:411033
Website:www.airtel.in

Hello, Yesterday evening (26/10/2015) between 6:45PM - 7PM, I WRONGLY recharged an Airtel number, [protected], from a shop in Dange Chowk area of Pune city, Maharashtra state. The recharge amount was 1000/-INR (One thousand rupees only). [protected] WAS NOT the number I intended to recharge. Transaction ID is[protected] Realizing my mistake, I went back to the retailer and asked him to reverse the recharge. The retailer called up some number, and later told me that since the recharge has been done to some person in Madhya Pradhesh, he cannot reverse it. Had it been a recharge in Maharashtra, he could had done something. He asked me to call the recharge number and request that person to reverse. I tried contacting [protected], but the person isn't even receiving my call. The retailers number is [protected]. This is the number of the retailer from which the retailer does Airtel recharge. He recharged 1000/-INR using [protected]. After this, I Googled for some Airtel contact number where I can lodge my grievance. To that effect, I tried calling [protected], but to no avail. And I even sent an email to [protected]@in.airtel.com, who replied that they were helpless about it, and that I should contact the retailer who recharged for me. I am requesting Airtel authorities to do the necessary investigation and please refund me my 1000 /- INR (One thousand rupees only).One thousand is a big amount and I cannot simply let it go away. You could do so by sending 1000 rupees credit to the retailer's number from whom I recharged.(Retailers number = [protected]) My contact number is [protected]. And email ID is edison.[protected]@gmail.com

Hello, I am the original complainant to wrote the above message. More than 5 months have passed since I posted my grievance and nothing has been done so far to address it. On the contrary, I got a fraud call from an imposter claiming to be an Airtel representative. He fooled me into giving him all my bank account details (Don't start blaming me to give me account details. He banked on my "hope" instinct of getting back the money and i fell for it. BTW he had called from a normal mobile number, I had a tingling sensation that this might be a fraud call.) He promised me to refund all my money and I gave him my bank details. Luckily, I chose to give him account details of the bank which I hadn't been using for a long time and hence, didn't have much money. He fooled me so much that I even gave him the OTP code that we receive to initialize a transaction. These fraudsters are damn good at it. He tried twice to withdraw money from my account. First 3000 INR then 1500 INR. Both time I gave him OTP. Fortunately, the account was neglected and there wasn't much money in it to withdraw. The fraudsters attempt to withdraw money failed. I received a call from my bank stating that something wrong is happening with my account. I am thinking this website is fraud in itself. managed by fraudsters to dupe already duped people.
I got a call from Airtel today morning claiming they are absolutely helpless in this case. When I spoke about the fraud call, the rep said he has nothing to do with it.
