Dear madam/ sir,
I purchased a tata-docomo data-pack for rs99/- (Stv recharge trans id[protected] dtd. Nov 7 2018 at 10.01am). Since i did not have any talk time balance (Without which the data-pack does not work!) i also purchased a top up for rs.20/- (Tt rs.14.94/-) immediately thereafter.
At 5.45pm the same day i received a message (Attached: 2. Screenshot) stating that i had subscribed to something called 'musicslate45' for 5 days and rs.13.94 had been deducted leaving me with a balance of just re.1/-!.
Since i was positive i had subscribed to no such thing, in fact never heard of or seen any such thing, i looked at the previous message and realized i had been scammed exactly the same way the last time as well, with something called 'chitchat' (Attached: 1. Screenshot) on that occasion, i thought i might have accidentally clicked on something and promptly canceled the so called 'subscription' (Which required at least 3 confirmations, while none at all while surreptitiously subscribing!)
Now that it had occurred twice, i tried to look into the source of this scam and was shocked to discover that the sender 'contnt' (Attached: 4. Subscription screenshot) and docomo (Attached: 3. Docomo screenshot) came from the same service center number[protected]!
I'm not sure how many times this had gone unnoticed in the past and for how many customers!
I'm also concerned that this will continue in the future, each time with a new flavor of subscription, every time i top up my talk time.
Is tata-docomo really pulling this scam on unsuspecting customers?
I request the consumer forum to look into and remedy this matter at the earliest. It is possible that this illegal activity has been going on unnoticed and is affecting thousands of customers.
I'm available for any further clarification if required and i look up to the consumer forum to investigate/ intervene and stop this illegal act.
Sincere regards
