I would like to draw your attention regarding the fraud call which came to my airtel number. It was from Dubai and they said they are from international office of AIRTEL. Their number was [protected] and they informed about a lottery which I won worth 10 lakhs.The person tried to ask me my PNB account number and further my address.It was really shocking for me when the customer care executive of AIRTEL told me that there is no such office of AIRTEL in Dubai.

This is a shameful act done .I as user of AIRTEL request you to take some action against this so that in future this happens to nobody else

hi!
i also had gone trough the same process mention above, i got calls from the following number[protected]suil prasad) and[protected]sanjay karma) they said all the same story which are mentioned above.but thing is that the said they are calling from mumbai.
i don, t no who is responsible to take action for this ...
I received a call from a no. [protected] at 10.20 AM on 05.12.2009. That time I couldnt pick up, seeing a new no., I called back. The person on the other hand introduced himself as some Mr. Ramesh from Airtel Headoffice mumbai and told me that I have won Rs. 25 Lakhs prize and also gave me a no. [protected] to contact one supervisor named Ram Singh for claiming the prize. I contacted on the no. but it was one lady from calcutta. Once again I called on the first no, this time he started his conversation with "Salam Walekum". I got suspicious and then I called customer care executive of airtel at 11:11 A.M and registered my complaint there. The Customer Care executive told me that if I got any call of this type, i should lodge a complaint to the Local Police as well. I request the telecommunication communication companies particularly Airtel to restrict these kind of fraud calls as it troubles the people a lot and it should not happen to anybody else further.
i got similar cal from a man called ravi verma who told me to cal vijay kumar sr supervisor [protected]. 25lacs is a joke but am sure mad at airtel and how they are letting phöney people disturb and spoil their customers peace on a sunday afternoon. Someone wake up. Please.

nothing — fraud call from dubai

my no. is [protected], i have a call from dubai ,the person saying that i have been selected as a grand winner of Rs. 10 lacs in a lucky draw by shahrukh khan in dubai,
This is comletely true...
I lost Rs. 5000 to these culprits. Was about to loose another Rs 10, 000 but all thanks to the shopkeeper who informed me about this fraud.
As soon as the shopkeeper told me i rushed to the police station and loged a complaint. The only thing that concerns me is the misuse of my voters id no. that i provided them as an identity proof. they are so convincing that you dont get to know anything and moreover they tell you to maintain full secrecy so that noone comes to know about your lottery. its bad.I've had a very bad experience and i hope that they get caught as soon as possible.
Its just a disgrace on how stupid we become by someone who is more stupid than us.
Airtel must take an action or else people will loose on their hard earned money to such convincing frauds.

please "BEWARE"!
A similar incident occured with me today. Around 15min back i got a missed call. It was a no. starting with[protected] so without thinking much i made a call back expecting someone known to me. The caller however said that he was from Dubai and I have won a prize of 25lac from airtel lucky draw. He gave me another number [protected] of Mr Raj Singhania, the senior supervisor out there and to collect the details where to recieve the money. However on my friends suggestion i called the airtel customer care where i was told to contact the airtel office nearby to validate the no. Then i searched for the country code of 92 and it was of Pakistan. Then I came of this website & i was saved although i lost 30 Rs of my balance for this stupid call.

fraud call from dubai

I would like to draw your attention regarding the fraud call which came to my airtel number. It was from Dubai and they said they are from international office of AIRTEL. Their number was [protected] and they informed about a lottery which I won worth 80 lakhs.The person tried to ask me my account number and further my address.It was really shocking for me when the customer care executive of AIRTEL told me that there is no such office of AIRTEL in Dubai.

I got a call from a number saying that he is calling from Airtel head Office and I have won sum of Rs 25 lakhs, the person told me his identity as Kiran Kumar and his Number was - [protected]. He asked me to call Mr. Sanjay Verma (as MD of Bharti Airtel ) and his number is [protected]. I called at the no. of Mr. Sanjay Verma. He told me that i have won Rs. 25 Lakhs asking me details of my account no. in which i want the amount. I told him the account no. and then he asked me the Identity Card no. I provided him with the same.
Then he provided me with the Lottery No. as 444000. and asked me to purchase DISHTV Vouchers worth Rs 15700, only those which Have SHARUKH KHAN Photo on it, and saying that i have to give him the voucher No. right now on the phone Call. I Refused that its not possible for me to give you the no. right now and it will take me half and hour.

Then he asked me to switch off my Phone for half an hour and donot disclose this matter to anyone because of secrecy.

I called up the Customer Care of Airtel and asked them whether such gifts are really being given to customers. They refused and said these are Fake calls Coming from Pakistan and Dubai.

Then again i got a call from the Number saying that you talked to Mr Sanjay Verma and he asked you to switch off your phone and then I screwed him up over the phone.

I have blocked my debit card of the same account no. and also logged a complaint at 100.

The Police officials are saying that there are lot of such cases coming to them and government is not able to trace them because they are ISD numbers.

All I Would request to the concerned authorities is that PLEASE transfer this information on News Channels, so that many o[censored]s can be saved from becoming fools..

please ailrtel take some action against these calls as it is causing hindrance to your goodwill.
Hi All,

I am an IDEA post paid user. I too got a call from a number starting +92. I did not pick up the call as I felt it strange that the number was starting with +92. I know India's country code is 91. Later I came to know that +92 is Pakistan's country code. I did a google search and found this blog on consumer complaints website. Like one of you mentioned, we should not ignore such calls. We all know what Pakistan is. I also agree that we should not at all respond to such calls. It could be dangerous. IDEA also should take up stringent action against such anonymous calls. How can they leak out our phone numbers to Pakistan. This is neither FUNNY nor a JOKE. If they do not take up actions against these calls and If I get another call from such number/s, then I will also lodge an Police FIR against IDEA.
