Vijay from vodaphone called from [protected], hesaid, you're one of 3000 winners of a random lucky draw by vodaphone have won 10 lacs of Rupees, and to call back at [protected] and speak to Mr.Rehan patel for details.

when I called, i was asked to call back after a while etc, and then the so called Mr.Rehan patel wanted Home address where 3-member vodaphone team would come to verify and hand over the cheque (ICICI Dilli branch!).

I hope my number is not with wrong hand.

Vodafone — fake calls for lottery

Yesterday morning ( Nov 5,2011),I got a call from [protected] but as it was early in the morning so I didn't pick because I was sleeping. As it was appeared as missed called in my cell so later on I called on that number and came to know below mentioned things

1.That guy was claiming himself as vodaphone representative and told me that I won Rs 25 lac as vodaphone lucky lottery.
2.He was asking my account details but I found him as fraud so i cut that call.

I spoke on 111 and lodged a verbal complaint on 111.I visited vodaphone gallery and lodged written complaint .further vodaphone representative told me that many more people are getting these types of calls across India but still my concern is not resolved.

My concerns is -

considering all above number of complaints , Government /Trai should take some serious action,after all its matter of social security. Cellular companies should be penalized for number sharing.
