[Resolved]  Vodafone — Deduction of amount from main balance

An amount of Rs 22/- has been deducted from the main balance of my account. When I checked my Message Inbox, I noticed that I have received an SMS from VZ-ViCMS regarding the download of FUN PORTAL from CARBUN8. PLease note that I have not downloaded any application from the said page or website.
I spoke to the Customer Care executive, but they were telling that this was a third party application and not the problem of Idea. In spite of informing them that such a complaint was raised by many Vodafone Idea customers they were adamant saying that it is the mistake of the customers and not the company. The executive mentioned that all those customers whose money was debited might have downloaded some application and also to contact the handset customer care number.

Vodafone India Customer Care's response
Dear Customer,

As per our records the deduction was done for a PPU i.e, pay per use service which is only deducted when some kind of services is used by customer on their consent. Hence, We are unable to provide refund for the used service. If you are not satisfied with the response you can write us on [protected]@vodafoneidea.com for further assistance.

Regards,
Snehal

Please reply to the above complaint
VODAFONE Team,

Your reliability is coming DOWN day-by-day.

I had already complained previously of amount getting deducted, without any transaction / sms / app download.

Now, VZ-Vicms have deducted amount from my main balance.
What's happening Vodafone team?

I also have faced the same issue. Did a recharge of 50 rupees for straight balance and got this msg within hours of recharging. At this point I think there is no point in fighting for the refund and just avoid using Vodafone for outgoing services. The repo that vodafone had 3 years ago has turned on itself and become a stealer from a begger. That's what JIO has made Vodafone. I don't care much about the money but watching the industry leaders of one era stealing money from customers for survival just cracks me up. Kudos to JIO and keep demolishing theif like vodafone.

I use nokia small set and not use internet or any game...in it i used it for ony calling ...when i used this vodafone number in my android its not deduct any kind of nonsense and unnessory charge sudden its start when voda and idea became vi...its ###...and when we call custmor care they said its third party...how any third party stole your custmor number and without permission of provider and custmor ...they activate ...this kind of service...it is voda and idea's compony which stole our data and money ...

Sorry...last line is my personal thought...
Yes. It's true yesterday my balance 20cut in my main account. Because I didn't activate funportal. Pls refund my money. This is nt right to the company also

I have same kind of experience. Just matter of setting volume they charge me around 49 rupee same message as below.

Hello!
Thank you for choosing to access startalk, you have been charged Rs. 49

This is really a stupid ...
Aah! Same for me today. Got message from VICMS "Thank you for choosing to access Tambola, you have been charged Rs. 49". What the hell is this, can any one help here?
They took Rs.99 from main balance for 3rd time. It is irritating.

VZ-ViCMS deducting money out of my vodafone sim for some service . i didn't ask for. This is fraud.. and theft ...

I am facing the similar issue. Balance deductions without subscribing to any or all of the services in these texts. What’s going on Vodafone? Too many people now; this cannot be a coincidence. Please do something about this or I will have to move to another mobile service provider

Money is deducted from a missed call
Poor problem solving
