[Resolved] ICICI Prudential — Fake calls for policy numbers | |||
I got a call from a company which mentioned I have a bonus of 83000 rupees and that is being credited to the agent who helped me get this policy. I received this call from the number [protected].<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> The name of the person was Avinash Sarpotdar. He mentioned he is an employee of ICICI prudential life insurance, Prabhadevi branch. He also mentioned that he needs to get a cheque of Rupees 20000 from me to relaease the bonus of 83000 rupees, which is locked by Agent id. He mentioned that I would get a token from ICICI prudential, which would be a number to release a letter from ICICI prudential. In all probability this is a fake call, but I would like ICICI to secure strict action is taken and no other policy holder is tricked in the same way. he mentioned this was a secret group within Icici prudential and no emails or documents were generated for the same. ICICI Prudential needs to ensure data privacy for Customers !!! Was this information helpful? | |||

I got call from [protected] and said that I am a nominee on a policy #11452528 which is about to lapse. I need to pay the defaulted payments to get the policy amount or else the policy will lapse and only ten percent of the premium paid will be refunded. After some argument he gave me another number [protected] of someone named GD Bakshi who he said is the CRM.

Dear Team,
Today, I got a call from [protected] (Shivani sharna) saying that she is a ICICIPru customer executive and claiming that I hold a "assured tax saving income plan" with policy number 17623548.
She said I opened this policy on 2013 with premium amount 50K/year. And, only one premium is paid till then. Also, the current value of the policy is 190812.90 INR .
There is no record of my email ID and registered mobile number with them. However, they are claiming that I should contact my CRM (Rohit Mehra - [protected]) to get the full details of Policy and to get help on how to withdraw money in case if I do not want to continue the policy.
""It goes without saying that above RM number and name given by them is fake "
I have called ICICIPru customer care no.[protected] to ensure about this fake call and got to know this policy belongs to someone else, and already been closed in 2013.
