Tata Docomo — Forcing to pay the wrong bill.

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Hello, I used to own a postpaid mobile connection from TATA Docomo when I was in Hyderabad a year ago. I must have missed to pay the final bill of Rs. 1682 as I urgently had to move to Mumbai. I had stopped using the number. After almost a year, today I got a call to the alternate number I had given while getting the connection. It was from someone claiming to be from Delhi ([protected]) saying that there was a legal action on me since I hadn't paid the bill and I am expected to talk to "Mr Jaswant Rana (Self claimed advocate) ([protected])" and pay the amount within next half an hour. I agreed to pay. But the problem was that the person (Mr Jaswant Rana) gave me a account number[protected] for which I had to pay. The amount mentioned there was Rs.5331. I argued with him since I never had used this number to get a bill to that extent. He was being too arrogant and was forcing me to pay the bill immediately and give him the "Transaction Reference Number", so he could close the case. I told him I would call him back and give him the details once the payment was done. I went to check my mail to see if I had got any intimation regarding this. I actually had got few mails from TATA Docomo regarding payment of bill, but the mails had moved to "Junk" so I could not find them. I got my actual account number[protected] and my then used mobile number ([protected]) and using these credentials I checked my bill from www.tatadocomo.com, the bill was Rs 1682. I made this payment (proof attached) and called Mr Rana back and gave him the Transaction Number. He said I have not paid the amount. I told him I checked the mobile number and account number and paid the right amount. He then cut the call. And after that I called him several times and he is not receiving the call. I however was lucky to not be fooled. This is a pure case of fraud, and I request others to be aware of those above mentioned numbers. Also if TATA Docomo has any role to play in this, then its a shame to the company. Regards, Rohan Damodar.
