[Resolved] Idea Cellular — unauthorized balance removal

Over some message sent by 51998, my mobile number has been charged 3 rupees, i've seen this complaint shared by another person as well but it should be noted that i haven't activated any value added services on my number. It's fine for telecom services to notify consumers when they have less balance or to even cajole them to try out such value added services but it's definitely an unfair trade practice to force money out of one's consumers for profit when they don't seek it. I've attached the screenshot herewith.

Updated by alwynleo If I may ask, why is the mobile number even required when the same messages are coming to all the other three Idea numbers I have on which DND has been activated as well?
Clearly the problem isn't persisting only on my mobile number so please stop spamming all Idea customers over offers and promotions when they have activated DND and their balance validity isn't ending.
