[Resolved]  Airtel — FRAUD !!!!!!

Ihave taken Airtel prepaid connection([protected]). Last month I got some SMS saying I had rquested for some background music which i never did and changed 20 Rs and once again charged Rs 10 for changing the background music.

By the time I read all the SMSs already Rs 30 has been deducted from my account. I tried contacting the customer care people to know why these happened without my knowledge, and refund the money back. They lorged a complait for this( reference no [protected]) to cancel the service if there is any thing activated with my number and refund my money.

I thought at least they have done all these things. But neither my money is refunded to my account nor the service been deactivated from my number.

Now again I got a SMS saying Rs 20 is going to be deducted from my account being using the service for background music .. again I lodged a complaint ( reference no: [protected]).

Am not sure If its being done or not. As I dont have time to keep track of this.

This is really too much .. These AIRTEL people are eating up our money like anything without our knowledge. I am coping all the SMSs i have got below.
Its not only happening with me. They are doing this wiht many people. As we are not having time to handle and keep track of these things. they take advantage of that.


Please do something
