Respected Sir/Mam,
This is to inform you that Airtel is running a fake promotion vis mass messaging option in which they specify to offer a digital dish and a dvd player to the people who have received the message. I got a message too. The website mentioned in the message to be logged on to claim the winning prize is exactly the same as that of airtel hd digital dish (i.e http://airtel.in/HD/digitaltvhd/index.html) but the things that are hidden are © Bharti Airtel 2010 | Contact Us | Privacy Policy | Terms & Conditions. Moreover there is no link to plans and offers menu and the last date for applying to the offer mentioned is 26th july. I called upon airtel customer care to ask about the same and they first of all said that i must have got the message by mistake( nothing was made clear); then i had to hold the line for about 10 min then the call was transferred to the supervisor and then again a long halt of nearly 10 min and then the supervisor told me that they have no clue of the promotion as they haven't received any information yet on the same. Then at last a new justification was ready that they don't know anything about the same.
Now my take on the Whole thing was that Airtel or any other dubious firm is trying to gather data of HNI clients and for further malicious use or pitch the aitel deal the customers afterwards.
Please do the needful asap....
Thanking you
