I received my mobile billref[protected] dated 28 jul 2014 for the period of 28 june to 27 jul 2014 from vodafone for my postpaid mobile [protected]. I received this bill on 30 July 2014 through email. My relationship id is
1.12073905.The problem is that the bill showed an ISD charge of Rs. 540 which would be Rs. 607 including service tax charged on this. I had a credit balance with Vodafone and they recovered these wrong charges from my credit
balance. I immediately sent a mail to vodafone customer care Mumbai requesting for details regarding this billed
amount. Two days later they replied to me on 30 july, that the charges are towards ISD call made on 25 jul 14 at 1402 hours which lasted for 12 minutes, has been charged at a rate of Rs. 45 per min for the International destination Liberia Code 231. I replied to this email again on 1 Aug with copy to the nodal officer and appellate authority email ids of Mumbai explaining to them that I had not made such a call at all. However, a representative of the Appellate Authority again sent me a mail on 4 Aug that they had checked my bill and that I had indeed made this call and there is no error in their billing systems. I replied to the appellate authority again on 5 Aug trying to explain them that this is a fraud and I have not made such a call. However, another representative of the appellate authority has responded on 5 Aug stating the same thing and reconfirming that they have checked and the call has been made to Liberia from my number. This correspondence has been continuing with the Appellate authority of Vodafone
till now as they are not providing any resolution and trying to justify that it is a correct billing on their part. I am fed up with the inaction and insensitive approach of Vodafone on this matter. They do not seem to bother to understand that this is a fraud which is affecting their customers who are at no fault, but they still choose to penalize them. I have researched regarding this scam on the internet and have seen that there are numerous similar complaints by many Vodafone mobile customers who are equally fed up and frustrated with Vodafone redressal mechanisms which do not provide any satisfactory resolution to their complaints. The Service Request Numbers
provided by Vodafone to me are[protected],[protected], 283398,[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected]I,[protected],[protected]
If vodafone does a simple search on the Liberia fone number which they are claiming as the number I have called, they will find out that the number is a fraudulent number used repeatedly for this scam and this is an evidence in itself for them to understand that I have not called any such number.
kindly request your able assistance and help in securing my right as a consumer who has been wrongly billed by Vodafone without any reason and created a nuisance for me thereby causing disturbance to my peace of mind. I would require your help to fight this out with Vodafone and make them return my money back as soon as possible.I would appreciate that all correspondence with me on this matter be done through my email address only which has been recorded with this complaint...Thanks and Regards
