[Resolved] Vodafone — Push message scam | |||||
Vodaphone is running one the biggest scams by sending unwanted push messages advertising their chargeable services which can be activated just by pressing the "OK" button on the message. Nowadays nearly everyone uses touchphones all u need to do to activate these chargeable services is just by slightly touching the Ok button .The biggest problem is that these messages keep flashing on the screen even when the phone is locked...... and you dont have to unlock the phone to press the buttons. Many times ive found that phone is in my pocket some serice or other has been activated and ive been charged for it. They also give you option to deactivate by sending sms etc. but why should these messages be forced on us in the first place....? Also i went on there website 2 days before and registered for DND but still i continue getting these messages. Vodaphone i surely earning crores of rupees by this scam and i think this needs to be looked into seriously..... Was this information helpful? | |||||
