Dear Sir,
I wish to complain about the fake call received by me from the so called Termination department of HDFC Life Insurance, Delhi. The person told me that I had taken a policy in the year 2013 and paid a premium of Rs.30000/- towards the same, I was also given the policy number and told that since the policy has a lock in period of 3 years and I have paid the premium for only 1 year, my policy had gone to their department for termination. If I pay the premium for 2 more years that is Rs. 60000/- my policy would be regularised and I will be getting an amount of Rs. 147000/- within 90 days. Then I was directed to one Rajiv Saxena ( Mob No. [protected]) who was introduced as my Relationship Manager. He once again explained the procedure to me and also said that since I had crossed the entry age of 55 years, I could take the policy in the name of my wife ( who is 55 yrs) by paying Rs. 60000/- and the same would be merged with my terminated policy which would then be regularised and I will also get Rs. 40000/- commission on Rs. 60000/-.I will be getting Rs. 147000/- within 90 days.
Since the call was supposed to be from HDFC Life I fell into the trap and allowed him to send a person to collect the relevant papers. In the meanime I received a call from a broker from Noida. He too explained the entire policy details and arranged to send a representative to my house to pick up the documents. I handed over the required documents and filled up the form in the name of my wife and also handed over the cheque for Rs. 60000/-.
As an after thought I felt something fishy and in the morning I contacted the Customer Care Dept of HDFC Life, and was astonished to learn that the policy number given to me was allotted to someone else and was told to be beware of such fraudulent and fake calls. But since the mobile number showed HDFC Life Ins in my Truecaller, i was tricked.
I would like to make a complaint against the company whose officials are indulging in fraud and fake calls and misguiding the people for unscrupulous marketing with the connivance of the brokers. I was put to great inconvenience and lost my peace of mind due to this.
