would like to inform all concerned that 3 persons, one young lady (she said her name was Shweta) and two young men (one called himself Nilesh Shah) met my brother in law on 26th April, 09 at our residence in Chembur. They said that they were from GlobalDirect (one of them showed an ID of GlobalDirect)and were acting on behalf of Vodafone. They said that Vodafone wants to prevent their customers from migrating to other providers, and hence are making a very limited offer for only 40 customers (their quota) and that we would be last two.
The offer was that against a cash payment of Rs 1200/ each, vodafone will bill us @ Rs.0.30 per minute for local calls. STD would be billed @ Rs1.00 per minute, and all ISD calls would be reduced by Rs. 1.99 per minute on the published ISD tariff. The amount of Rs 1200 paid as advance would be adjusted @ Rs 200/- per month in the bill
Accordingly they were paid Rs 2400/ for two of our vodafone nos.and a katcha receipt on our vodafone bill was given by them. This group said that we would be receiving a call from GlobalDirect or Vodafone the next day for confirmation and change of plan.
Subsequently we checked out this matter with Vodafone the next day, and found that they had no such scheme at present, and that this is a fraud and a scam.
In our opinion, this is being done by some ex-employees of GlobalDirect (Hopefully not by the company)
and if required we are prepared to identify these fraudsters, if GlobalDirect can send someone with photographs of their present employees, and or those that have left them (including any trainees).
This fraud will continue to be perpetrated by these youngsters, and they need to be arrested by the police, and stopped.
We would like GlobalDirect to clarify whether it is true that they are promoting this scheme or whether it is a fraud. If so they should immediately cooperate with us and other persons who have been conned in a similar manner and bring the culprits to book.
