We have been using Aquaguard Enhanced UV device for the past 8 years. Our AMC [2 years duration] expired last month]. We got a call for renewal and I had checked if it was from EF or any franchise agency. I was told it is from EF and they ahd correctly mentioned our date of expiry of existing AMC as well as the purchase details of the previous AMC accurately. Hence I asked them to come home for the last service as well as for renewal, Once I renewed it for 2 years [same as previous one], I was told that I will get the invoice via WhatsApp. When I got it, the company was 'Sureka Forbes' which raised suspicion. On contacting EF, I was told that Sureka Frobes is not their authorized company, hence we cannot give any free service. I informed them that Sureka Frobes gave all accurate information so there is no way I can suspect them, . I also asked how my personal data was known to an unauthorized company? IF this data breach had not happened, I would not have been fooled [I paid INR 4500 for AMC from Sureka Forbes]. Eureka Forbes is now washing their hands off and not giving be any answer for the data breach. It is clear that if the breach hadn't happened, a fraud company wouldn't have been able to steal my money as well as the AMC. Now if I have to get authorized service for my device, I have to again pay INR 4500 for no fault of mine.

Updated by kallynrk Hello,
It has been more than 2 moths since I posted the issue and I have not received any response. When I reached out to Eureka Forbes, they just washed their hands off saying its my mistake and they cant do anything. Could someone from the consumer forum help desk kindly hear me out?
