[Resolved]  Airtel — fraud call from dubai

I got a similar call, there should be some action taken against this one.

I got the same call and when i trued to find the number given by him on google to have some idea, i got ur complaint.

They are making people fool. Steps should be taken or people should know about all these fraud calls.

Around half an hour back today (jan 16, 2010), I got missed call from the number [protected].

When I called back at this number, I came to that It was from Dubai and the
caller said that he is calling from Dubai AIRTEL office. They informed about the lottery which I won worth 10 lakhs.
I aske the name - it wa some Mr. Vijay Kumar(probably fake)
The person asked me to give my account number so as to transfer money of Rs.10 lakhs.

He also said that around 130 Airtel number won this lottery.

This call deducted huge amount from my balance in mobile.When I called to
Airtel Customer Care, they said there is no such office in Dubai.I
was shocked that how someone got my Airtel number and trying to get information like this.
I request Airtel to take strict action against this number - or the series of numbers as mentioned above by other users.

Airtel is a brand, and I've been its customer for around 10 years - it should should consider this kind of complaints pretty seriously.
Any amount of money deducted may be re-imbursed back - thats a suggestion.
I hope Airtel keeps up to their brnd vlue and not let it get tarnished like this.
SIncerely

Dear Concern,

I got a missed call from [protected] t/w lottery winner of Airtel mumbai.
When i called back he (Ravi saxena) was talking in urdu and saying about the lottery winner of Rs. 2500000/-. he was also talking about that, u will get a call from mr. Ravi Singh agst. the same. but when i treshed out this number the number belongs from Dubai. Now i am confused about the same.
Please do the needfull for the above mentioned.

This is regarding the above posts by all the above people... i would like to first thank all of them for their bravery and for posting the nuissance and loss that they have gone through... i too would like to bring to notice for people across india- who are using airtel no's and also others... i too got a call from dubai by the no[protected] and he also told me that u have won a prize money ( lottery of 25 lakhs ) and also asked me to further contact on this no[protected] ... this is utter fraud... people please dont believe in them... they are just trying to fraud you and trying to earn ur hard earned money... beware of such calls...

thanks... to all and of course this site...airtel is a much known and trusted brand ... take some action so that no such calls can ruin its name and the confidence of airtel users...a big thanks to this site.

I also got 2-3 miss calls from numbers starting +9230 at different time and fortunately couldn't receive them. I was confused who is calling me from a strange number. today I was tring to locate this number on internet and luckily found this forum which has resolved my confusion and tension. I want to thank all these people who have shown the courage to bring this fraud to our notice and saved my people from this fruad...Thanks a lot to all of you from all those people who are saved because of your comments...

My parents received a call from a person named "Vijay" from calcutta. He told them that we have won 25 lakhs in a lottery. He asked to call this 092 prefixed #. My parents called back and then, realized that it was fake. Unfortunately before realizing, they shared some of the information like residence address etc.
After the call got over, we received sms from airtel telling to execise caution while calling unknown number and sharing personal details as it can be misused.

I believe airtel should proactively speard this awareness among people. Many people in remote areas may not know such gimmicks played by these bluffmasters.

I am still not sure if we need to register a complaint regarding this incidence, would somebody advise me please?

I also received a similar call from the number [protected], they told me that i have won a cah prize of Rs 15 Lakh and they told me to call other number which is [protected].I called this number and the person addressed himself as Ram Singh speaking from AIRTEL MUMBAI..He asked me to purchase Dish TV Coupons worth Rs 7000, after that they will release the amount of Rs 15 Lakh...This is an absolute Fraud, pls ignore such calls...

I also got a same kind of call on my Vodafone number, but i am lucky that i have less balance in my phone so call disconnect in between before i give him my account number, and after that i read this blog which told me the whole story.
The number from where i received miss call was :[protected]

Hey i too got a miss call from [protected]. Luckily i was aware of this fraud n i didnt pick it up...But i seriously believe a reputed company like Airtel should take this into serious consideration and take a remedial action as no of people have suffer bcoz of this.

I got this call on 07/02/2010 at 7:55 AM all this pakis r tryin to make us fools they didnt knw whos the baap...

While making further inquiry Rahul saxena told that purchase Dish TV coupen of 11000 from your nearest dealer and search the no of that coupen tell them...wecall them and again they say to purchase dish tv coupen of 28000 search no of them and told them the no and 10/02/2010 we call them rahul saxena told me that u late now u have pay other 21000 then u would get price money...we said we do not want price money and we said we want our money back 11000+28000+3000 of telophone bill which we called to mumbai.plz tell me what should i do . shall i register any complain aginst this no.[protected] and other no is[protected].Airtel is big brand in India but do not seem to take strict action against these cheaters.Sooner or later Aritel is going down. I'm going to throw this airtel Sim away outta my mobile.i want my back as iam unemployed person...This is such a ridiculous things, people have touched the baseness, they making fool of innocent people. be careful every one. AIRTEL please take some necessary actions against them

This morning I too received 2 missed calls from +[protected]. I dialed and they say its a lottery win. If a person is given me a lottery amount then won't he has enough money to do an ISD call. Why is a pakistani calling indian numbers? there are many more unanswered questions in my mind. When i received a SMS in afternoon from AD-SERVICE from airtel saying that 'you have made an ISD call to 0092 and make sure you don't disclose your details. What is the use of sending such a message and that too after 5 hrs.

This SMS should be rotating to all customers. If you cannot control and public has to bring this to police's notice.

Please do something soon

Well I have got the same call dear at around 10:30 AM today.
Just after that call I had gone thru the google website and got to know about this fraud calls.
I got the call from this no.[protected].
So friends...be careful

Today 21st Feb 2010, I got a missed call from number[protected]. I didn't recognize it so called back. Some who said his name is Vijay Kumar(probably fake) said i won a award of Rs 10 lakh from Airtel and he is calling from airtel head office. He asked me to call [protected] and talk to Raj Verma(probably fake) to claim the money.

I didn't believe it, once i reached back home i checked online for such frauds and found above link. I called airtel and informed them about it.

I as an individual cannot followup with these frauds, however Airtel can and should followup and these people are defaming airtel's name.

Regards
