Homeshop18 — fake message about winning a tata safari

Address:Patna, Bihar, 800013

Today morning i got a message on my number that i have recieved a tata safari worth rs.1260000 as lucky draw. I was asked to submit 8500 as registration service payment. The contact number given was[protected] and [protected].
I doubted the message and so confirmed it with homeshop 18 customer care. I was told that it was a fraud. I then decided to call on the number to know who it was. On calling the person on other side introduced himself as purshottam kumar, a sales executive at homeshop 18. I told him that i got the message and wanted to submit the money so that i could get my car. He then told me to go to any state bank of india branch and then call him on same number for account details. I told him i was unable to go so my brother was there instead. I then asked him for the details. He gave me the following account details:
Name of account holder: purshottam kumar
Account no. :[protected]
He told me to confirm him after submitting the money and then the car would be sent from the mumbai office within 2 days by transportation.
It is to bring to the notice of you people sitting in homeshop 18 that please wake up. People are being conned in your name. It is somewhere your responsibility to look into the matter. I was educated enough to see through it and get the details out of him but there are many others who are from rural background or are too simple to understand the matter.
I hope my plea doesn't fall on deaf ears. As a customer i have done more than i could but even now if you don't take any action then you are equally responsible.
And i request you to please update what was done in this matter from your side because if your customer is attentive, your company must be.
