[Resolved]  Airtel — FRAUD SIM CARD BY AIRTEL(GSM service provider)

MUMBAI CASE: FRAUD SIM CARD BY AIRTEL(GSM service provider)

Hi,

This is Amit Sharma from Mumbai. On 27th march’08 I received a call stating that calling from AIRTEL office (No. [protected], [protected] Rajesh & Jayesh Trivedi) & the call is regarding new post paid connection by Airtel offering very good schemes. I asked that person to mail me the plans which I received the same day. The person again called up for appointment on the next day & promised to activate both the numbers within a day as we had applied for two post paid connections. The next day when the person visited our place he gave us 2 Sim cards of Airtel Post Paid Connection (Sim No.[protected] &[protected] & application form of Airtel (Serial No. B374411 & B374412) which we signed & returned. He had taken Rs 800 for activisation, driving license & passport size picture of me & my wife as well as our rent agreement for address proof. When the numbers did not get activate till 1st of April I tried calling the same person for several times but he did not answer my call n switched off his mobile.

After all this I visited the Airtel office situated at Lower Parel (Peninsula Corporate Park) where I met the lobby Manager Mr. Vivek Solanki (No. [protected]) who had informed us that the person was not from Airtel & they have nothing to do with this. Inspite of repeated requests he refused to give the No of their person concerned for legal actions.

When I read the mail again sent by the person in order to find out some clue I discovered that the mail was from some Pinnacle Consulting situated at Sukiyaki but when we called up to cross check for the address of the said consulting, Mr. Vive Slinky refused that there is any DSA/ Franchisee of Airtel Registered by this name.

We are now under the process of registering FIR & suing Airtel.

OUR PERPOSE IS TO SPREAD AWARENESS ABOUT THIS KIND OF FRAUDULANT ACTIVITIES HAPPENING THESE DAYS.

Regards
Amit Sharma
