[Resolved]  Airtel Digital Dish TV — Someone is cheating people in the name of Airtel

Address:

Tamil Nadu

I am Prabha Khimsura residing in Chennai. I am writing to you today in regards to what has happened to me in the name of Airtel. I got an sms on my mobile on 26/07/2010, stating that my mobile number has won an Airtel Dish TV settop box and a DVD player and asking me to log on to www.airteldigitaldish.com and register my name and address. Once I had done that, I received another sms the next day confirming my registration and asking me to login again before 12.30 p.m. When I did, I was asked to deposit Rs. 440 in Punjab National Bank with the account holder's name as Mr. Swapan Das, Senior Executive From Mumbai, along with his account number [protected], and to fax the receipt to this number[protected]. It also said that once I fax them the copy of the receipt one representative will contact me within 4 hours and that my gift will be delivered at my door step with no extra cost on 29/07/2010. I had done things as instructed, but no one has called me yet with regards to the gift. I also tried to log on to the site but it seems to have been suspended or blocked now.

I am really shocked to realize that I have been cheated. I would like to ask you if this whole thing was indeed related to Airtel India, that for publicity they are doing such things or its someone else who is doing such things in the name of Airtel???? In both cases your company loses the credibility it has. It concerns me as how easily people get cheated..

Please look into this matter and take action against the wrongdoers. I also would like you to inform people about such fraudulent things happening and if possible please do add this in the commercials so that the public is aware and no one else is cheated. I would like to hear from you regarding what action has been taken against the fraudsters.
