[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — unauthorized vas activation costing me 300+ rs

Hello,

I had recently topped up my balance to the number [protected] few weeks ago and then got charged to these vas services one after another.

"your rainbow": 150rs | 18/11/2017
"gamepind": 35 rs | 20/11/2017
"your combo plus": 150rs | 22/11/2017

Now i have 44 rs balance left. I barely used around 20rs on calls. This is blatant robbery and i want a refund to my balance.

Dear Customer,

Sorry for the trouble caused. As checked, the request was raised for the deduction towards the value added services and the same has been closed and communicated to you that the charges are correct for your number. Also, checked the concern raised for other service activation & deduction is post 24 hours. Hence, we express our inability to provide you the refund for the same. We would like to inform you, that you've been charged while using WAP service. However, you can dial *121*46# or send and an SMS as STOP to 593350 to stop the flash SMS. For further assistance, kindly contact us on 12345 or 198.
