[Resolved]  Vodafone — Fraud

Address:West Delhi, Delhi

Vodafone Tuesday is a scheme that offer you 1 ticket free on purchase of 1 movie ticket on Tuesday in certain specific cineplexes. Vodafone says and many other sites that endorse this offer or promote it in any way say that one has to just dial 56777 (3/min) and avail the offer or message TUESDAY to 56789 (3/msg).

When on i wanted to avail this offer i was replied that my circle does not has this offer and Rs.3 were deducted from my account. I wanted to make a complaint with Vodafone that if your service is not available in my area and if i am not using the service then why was i charged ? they even refused to register the complaint so now i am registering my complaint here and hoping that i'll be assisted ASAP.

Comments

I recently got a new Vodafone connection [protected]. After getting a post paid connection, I noticed a student scheme which mentioned a fantastic offer.

Since this scheme was mentioned under the "schemes for existing customers" heading I went to their gallery to activitate the same. The officer refused saying existing customers cannot avail of this scheme. I then wrote to the nodal officer Rajesh Shetty with a print of their website. The page address and time was also printed so that they cannot refute by making any changes to their scheme.

Still, Vodafone simply refused to honour their claim. They say that the scheme is only for new customers. Which means that Vodafone has no integrity and moral or legal values. They know that once you have a number, you can do nothing because you would not change the number.

Dear Sir/Madam,


Regarding - Vodafone illegally siphoning off money of their innocent customers

It is with utter shame and regret submitted that the Vodaphone have again shown their insensitivity in the matter. I had requested certain documents which they are only privy to and the same were not provided till date. The Vodafone is deliberately concealing the said information by raising unsustainable issues, so that the may not get exposed. I had given enough reasons for seeking those details, furthermore it is my right to get those details and they being the service providers have a duty cast upon them to provide the same, moreso the instant case being a clear case of fraud:

The details sought by me in my mail dated 28th March 2008 were:

1) The original copy of the Agreement entered into between me and the company, for enabling me to take appropriate action in terms of the Agreement. Please arrange to provide me the hard copy and the soft copy of the same expeditiously.

2) The details along with the Bills for the period 1st January 2008 onwards till date.

I require the following details as well to show how the Company mislead their customers to make illegal gains:

3) The Vodaphone make recording of all the calls made by the customer. I require all the Recordings of all the calls made by me and them for the period 1st January 2008 onwards till date.

4) The recordings and the records of the SMS for the period 1st January 2008 till date, which will apparently show the illegal deeds of Vodafone.

5) Details of any inspection done by TRAI in similar complaints and the copy of the orders.

As per their mail, that if requested the hard copy of the details will be couriered to me. I made a call to the Vodaphone customer care today to request them to furnish me the details by courier. I was again put to a shock by them wherein they told me that you were not supplied the details as you have not given sufficient reasons for the same. My mail date 28th March is self explanatory. Further who are they to ask me for the reasons for the documents executed by me, I have a right to have access the documents executed by me. They are the privy to the same and It is their duty to supply me the same.

Further the details were sought by me from Telecom Regulatory Authority, they may either deny me the details through your good office or supply me the same. If they have not supplied me any documents, it is only on account of some malafide intent on their part to conceal their misdeeds.

I hereby again request your good office to kindly look into this matter as this is a clear case of fraud wherein the company is minting money at the cost and expenses of their customers.

I hope something is done in this matter expeditiously.

Regards

Numerous mails have been sent to TRAI as well, their impotency is proved by their conduct. There can be no doubt that the top officials of TRAI are hand in glove with the Company.

Dear Sir,

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India a regulatory body having necessary jurisdiction to control and regulate the telecom companies, has shown its utter insensitivity to the illegality brought forward to it. It shall not be out of place to mention here that the regulatory body have been appraised of such illegal deeds by Vodaphone previously by hundreds of customers which may have been cautiously and deliberately veiled by the said body.

Since TRAI is not responding to my complaints it appears that either it has its hands in glove with the Telecom Company or it is a highly impotent organisations with no teeth's to keep control on companies like Vodaphone.

I call upon any person with conscience to revert me on this mail. At least a call to explain me what has happened to my complaint.

This is a case which requires your consideration as the company has been doing the similar acts during the past and is continuing the same even today. The trail mails are self explanatory.

I had sent them a legal notice in the past aswell in a similar fraudulent act done by the company, how ever i took the same lightly and condoned the company for the same.

Requested to investigate as you are the regulatory body to investigate illegalities committed by the cellular service providing companies

Dear Sir,



Sub- Fraudulant dealings by Vodaphone



This is to bring to your kind notice the illegal and nefarious activities carried out by the leading Mobile cellular company, in their day to day activities. It is submitted that the Company invites the customers to download caller tunes by prescribing the procedure whereby the customer is expected to send the name of the song to be downloaded at 55655 (which is toll free), the company in return of the message confirms that the said song has been set as a caller tune. For the said facility the company charges a one time charge of Rs. 15/- for download charges and Rs. 45/- which is the monthly charge.


I had received a message from Vodaphone on 15th January 2008 at 11:50 AM stating that, to activate caller tune, just send the name of your favorite song to 55655 (toll free). I with intent to avail the facility sent a request for the song "I want to break free" to the said number accordingly on 15th January 2008 at 01:22 PM. For which I received a confirmation message from vodaphone on the same date at about 01:31 PM, confirming that the caller tune has been activated. I was shocked to hear the caller tune which was activated, It is not the song which I requested to be activated. The company had deliberately activated an incorrect song as my caller tune, so that I may again make a request for the correct song and they make a profit of another Rs. 15/- per request. This is how the company have been making monies, this is the modus operandi adopted by the company to multiply its turnover



I immediately called up the vodaphone customer care to find out whether the Company would be kind enough to rectified the illegality committed by them. For which I was informed that I will be charged Rs. 15/- for the incorrect downloaded and will again be charged another Rs. 15./- for the downloading the correct song. This type of business practice is immoral and illegal. This may perhaps have been the policy to make illegal gains at the cost of their customers. The company is involved in the economic offence by siphoning the money of the innocent customers who are not aware of the forums to agitate. I think this is fit case where in an inquiry needs to be made. There may be thousands of other customers who have been cheated by the company by this very act. The accounts of the company have to be freezed with immediate effect and a thorough investigation has to be made so that the fraud can be made public.


I expect some immediate steps be initiated at your end, as the company will continue to cheat its innocent customers in similar manner unless they are stopped by your good office.

Expecting a quick redressal in this regard.



Regards

Sadanand Sudeer

I was really shocked to hear the caller tune that was activate, you have activated a incorrect song which I had never requested. I was further shocked to hear your customer care when I inquired the same from him. I was informed that I will be charged another Rs. 15/- for activating the correct song. This is a serious offence and squarely is a crime which fall under the purview of economic offence.

Please treat this as a last request and get the correct song activated or If i do not recieve any confirmation within 24 hours, I shall be constrained to take appropriate legal proceeding against you before Economic offence wing.

BSNL Haryana prepaid — Deduction of Rs. 30/- illegally

I am a pre-paid customer of BSNL Haryana having Mobile No. [protected]. On receiving a message on my mobile from 55666 on[protected] contents of which are "Enjoy love shayari & gift to others. Once subscribed, you will get shayari for 30 days absolute free." I sent a message on 55666 to subscribe and the same was accepted and I was shocked to note the message which was subscribed and an amount of Rs. 30/- was charged from by balance credit amount. The further they also stated in the subscribed message that Rs. 30/- have been charged in lieu of subscription of shayari. Why?. It means the BSNL is making fool of their customers. However, immediately, I sent a message to 55666 to unsubscribe the 'shayari' and in turn it was unsubscribed but the amount charged to me i.e.Rs. 30/- has not far been refunded to me, which must be get back in my credit balance by the BSNL, because their message of[protected] late evening has unsubscribed shayari, then what is the idea of charging Rs. 30/-.

thanks

Two representatives carrying your company ID, Bill books, Plan Books cae to my house offering a change in plan. After having convinced us with a good deal, they received a cash of Rs 1400 form me and ensured another sim card to be sent the next day. Three weeks later, having received nothing, we went to the nearest dealer. A sales representative called Akash Shetty, seated at the borivali branch, told me that your company give out blank bill books to anybody and so they cannot be tracked. I am not worried about the money, but I am definately shocked at this kind o[censored]nprofessional approach of a company like Vodafone. More than a hundred people may have been chated this way, and they would be told the same thing. This is what your representative claims to say. Very soon, with all these things happening around, and with these kind of responses given by your people, Vodafone will soon be flashing in the news and eventually lose all existing as well as potential customers. This is something completely unacceptable by your company. It is a shame that this is the way you deal with people who come to you with serious reports as this. I would probably find another ervice provider whose keeps their documents and books with their logo in a well maintained and respectable manner and not chapen them out to any outsider they do not have track of. What a shame for Vodafone!

Vodafone has *automatically* activated Caller tune service for my connection. They said it was free for a month. Now after a month I am *automatically* charged 30 rs as rental though I didnt ask for it. The customer care is very rude. After 3 calls and waiting for 5 mins in each call, I am told it is my mistake.

The worst part is everyday I get atleast 6-10 spam messages (SMS) and also calls. This should also stop.

I plan to sue Vodafone in the consumer court for having charged me without my consent and also for spamming me.

Dear Sir,
With Lots of Due Respect.

I had recharged my number with just Rs 13 to reduce my call rates. I am busy in office so i planed to use Vodafone Internet recharge facility. My transaction was successful but I did not get any response from Vodafone regarding recharge. In evening I called customer care ( which is chargeable) , he told me wait for 24 hr. Even now after 28 hr I did not get any response from Vodafone . I called 198 for the same issue. After listing my whole problem Mr. Mahesh K Chudasama put my call on hold for TEN MINUTES and after that he told me wait for a week to get the benefit of my recharge. This is really a bed experience I ever faced with any service provider. I just changed my number due to poor services of that service provider to Vodafone. But now I am helpless. For your kind information Rs 13 is deducted from my account. I am sending you a screen shot with this mail containing Transaction ID and my number.
I hope you will take an appropriate action regarding it.
