Bangalore, Karnataka

I have taken ARTHA HEALTH OPTIONS wellness card with card number 06 46716 by paying Rs.1994. This is valid till 4th August 2010. I have been a member after paying required money for last 2 years.
I received a call from their office on 13/05/2010 informing me that since i have not been utlising the card regularly for full benefits, your card and facilties gets extended by one more year if you pay now Rs.1994. Reluctantly I agreed as I have not been using their slips with the back of a sloppy service when I had a medical check done. An authorisation code of 005856 was provided on 13/05/2010.
Later on I received a call on 25/05/2010 from Mr.Sameer of their office and telling me to pay Rs.3994 as I have been upgraded to Gold Card. I was not interested in this but he told that the extension will for 2 years with this payment ( Rs.5988 total against a normal Rs. 18,000 package they charge for others). An authorisation code number 003603 was provided. They sent me Standard Chartered credit slip next day for payment of Rs.3994 on 26/05/2010 along with a form their office for signature. Since the courier guy was in hurry, I just signed the form without checking contents of the form.
On 27/05/2010, I have received a call from them again telling me that I have done a transaction for Rs.11,000 + and hence I need to pay the remaining amount. I told them the transaction committed was for Rs. (1994 + 3994) and the inflated figure of Rs. 11000+ has shocked me. I vehemently dis-approved this transaction. He told me that I will lose all benefits and earlier voice transactions/ recordings are invalid and only the signed form by me will hold in consumer forum. I told him to refund all the amount as I was not interested in the whole fradulent scheme but he threatened me, telling there is no refund. First of all, no mention of Rs. 11000 plus transaction was told to me on 13/05/2010 by their officer or by Mr.Sameer on 25/05/2010. Well, when I was reluctant for Rs.1994 payment on 13/05/2010, how could I commit for Rs. 11,000. I want justice.It is agonising to think how I have been cheated in day light. I want my money back please. Kindly help and check out such fraudulent companies. Artha Health Options is located in Maharshi Aravinda Bhavana, 14/3, Nrupathunga Road, Bengaluru 560 001
