[Resolved]  Airtel — Being Charged for services not subscribed to

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

I have a prepaid airtel connection.[protected]

I regularly get SMSs for which I am charged Re.1.
For eg: 25/08/2012 at 12: 56 From AIRINF
I get the following message: Thanks for downloading Easy search from Airtel. You have been charged Re. 1.0

The point is that my phone was locked when the message pinged.
I have not subscribed/downloaded anything. Why should I pay be forced to pay.
To un-subcribe I am forced to pay Rs. 2.0 sometimes.
This is unethical and to my mind does not seem a legal way of making money.They send these to millions of people, most feel one re. is not worth making a fuss about, but I think this is a scam which runs into millions.
Please do the needful.
Thanking you, A.D. Manikoth
