[Resolved]  Irda — Fake bonus calls

Address: Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Hi,

Received a call from a number [protected] saying that he is from IRDA and I will get a bonus of atleast Rs. 65200/- for the insurance policy that I had taken few years back from Birla Sun Life Insurance. However, I will have to make an investment of Rs. 20,000/- for showing off. I got skeptical and asked him to send me an email using his official email id with the details of the documents required and the person I needed to contact. He said that today is the last day or else I will lose the bonus.

I turned him down saying that I don't need the bonus. But thought to alert you before someone else gets trapped in this.

Thanks,
Naresh.

I a getting the same call from one Mr. Rahul Khanna, he introduces as he is calling from IRDA, Cannaught Place, New Delhi. His personal mobile No. has given as [protected]. He was telling that I am going to get a bonus amount of Rs. 1, 28, 432/- if i invest Rs.30, 000/- in Birla Sunllife Insurance. If any agent from Birlasunlife aware this details, he will get 45% from the said bonus amount. So don't reveal all the details to them. I agreed and thereafter a call received from Birla Sunlife ins. They asked me that i[censored] have any doubt of this policy ? I replied that if any bonus amount is paying by your insurance company ? they said no bonus is paying. Then he asked what amount is offered the person ? I replied one lac something.(not revealed the actual amount he offered because of his advise). Then, I called the IRDA person and asked the details given by the Insurance person. But he wondered, and insisted me that don't disclose anything to them and if any person come to collect the cheque, you fill up the form yourself and note the application number and informed me, so that you will get the bonus money without any deduction. He also gave me my File No. as 000421 and Security code as BSLIUIN273578. He told his IRDA Employ Code as C84228 (Rahul Khanna). Then again i got a call from birla sulife on yester (07.07.12) and i agreed to pay the cheque. In between I searched on google about its genuinity, I undestand that it is totally fake and I didn't allow the insurance person to collect my cheque. I strongly asking that who is the actual villain in this. is it IRDA or the Insurance Companies??? On seeing this letter I request to the Insuracne company as well as IRDA to please take against such Rackets immediately.
Similar is the case to me...

I have received calls on 07.07.2012 from the numbers, [protected], +[protected], [protected] and [protected]. The callers posing themselves as IRDA personnel asked me any policy from any insurance co. which is lapsed. They assured me that the my lapsed amount shall be refunded and further a 150% bonous per annum on my regular premiums shall be paid to me, though my policy has been closed by my insurance company (Aviva LIC in my case).

After convincing me of their authenticity a person, namely Rakesh Sharma, posing himself Sr. Fund Manager from customer relationship deptt. of IRDA assured me that he has received my complaint file and today (that day) is the last day for me to claim the refund. For that I have to reactivate my agency code and a fee of Rs.19312/- in the shape of a cheque has to be given by me.

Sensing some foul play I inquired for other formalities and the name on which I have to draw a chq. He said that our person will come to you to collect the formalities and chq which I should write in the name of 'Aegon Religare Life Insurance' along with my pan card, voter id and one pp photograph.

When I asked why the chq is drawn in favour of Aegon Religare Life Insurance, why not to IRDA itslef ? then his reply was, "IRDA has appointed Aegon Religare a fund managing co. to issue all bonuses and refunds to all the customers and I am the nodal officer to handle all the cases for Jammu. He also warned me not to disclose this to anybody otherwise my claim would be forfeited.

At that time I understood the nefarious designs of the caller and asked him give me 2-3 days to think over it. He also gave me his personal number, [protected], on which I can call for any queries.

By this, I want to make people and IRDA aware regarding such fake persons and want that IRDA should act immediately and book these cheaters under law.
Simillar in our case.

These are the companies, who are fraud, and train their people on this. We recieved a call from DA VISION, who provide davis club cards. This company is fake and fraud. People from top management to low management, all are corrupt. They train their people on all this. They call, and talk about Bonuses and refunds, they they come to that card. After taking that money, they don't even provide u with that call. No one should ever purchase the product from DA VISION. Blodly corrupts.
[protected] another number from mr X from noida office
[protected] calling from Insurance verification Department Delhi. Was asking about my insurance policy of LIC. Was not ready to share his name or Employee ID. was saying his office is located in connaught place.
After reading above fake bonus calls, i got similar call from "[protected]- Rahul Kapoor" posing himself as a IRDA official from Mumbai.
He told me that i've a bonus to claim for Rs 47, 000 but i'll have to purchase a policy from Reliance Insurance to settle the bonus claim.
But i got suspicious and searched google for similar type of calls that i got from the peson who's posing an official from IRDA, and my doubts got cleared when i found the similar bonus fake call page on this websites. Pls be aware IRDA never sells or asks a person to purchase a policy on the behalf of the insurance compenies. This is the cheap practice adopted by several cunning agents who wants to sell polices for a small commissions and try to trap the innocent people by telling fake bonus claims.

It is high time that IRDA should speard a message about these fake bonus call publicly and take strict actions against those who're looting people by posing official from IRDA.
Absolutely Agree with all o[censored]...

Yesterday I picked my landline phone, the call is from IRDA - BMD department, Mr Sameer Khanna from this no.[protected], and his personal number is [protected], told me that u are selected for the selected bonus of RS. 1, 57, 990, but first u have to pay an amount of 40, 000 to start the D2C service, after that u can recieve ur cheque before 15-dec-2012...

all fake Man... And when i asked him for the documentation, he said ur father have to deposit photocopies of ID Proof, Pan Card, photos and Driving License for address Proof... And I caught him...I also inquired about the BMD department but there is no information about this department from IRDA SIte...

Please Beware of such type calls...

Girls call from Insurance Policy Confirmation Department which is connected with IRDA as Different no land-line no's:
[protected],
[protected],
[protected]. etc

They always ask
"Is there any policy you have?",
"From which Insurance Company?"
"How many years you pay premium of which amount?",
"Ok, sir you got Bonus Amt [XXX] of it, would you like to get it?" [amt on the bases of our premium pay]

They told it's generating every year as your Insurance Co. investing in the Fund.
"You haven't got any time before..., You wan't it?"
"Bcz, of your agent code is there so you can't get it. Are you interested get that bonus money?" " They don't tell ever."
"Is there any savings investment in any Firm you have, like HDFC/Ril/Birla's Saving Fund ? If "yes" then you have to spent this much of amount as per this information "[protected]", if not then you have to Invest this much of amount as per this information "[protected]" "

If we ask : "Is there any information regarding the Bonus available on particular Insu.Co."
"No, Only our Confirmation department can give you that information."


{{{ they make us fool, use IRDA rights, send Mail to your Insurance Co. regarding that information, CC to IRDA and keep copy with you..? }}}

they have to give information bcz of IRDA, else Consumer Rights/Court is there..!


Thanks...!

I got a call today from a Priyanka Chauhan ([protected]) who told me that I am to receive Rs 3, 25, 000 and somebody else called Neeraj Mishra is claiming the money on my behalf. She directed me to her boss Rakesh Bajaj ([protected]). Mr. Bajaj spun a very convincing yarn and gave me a lot of information about IRDA. He finally told me that I have to take a D2C policy from one of the four companies in Thane, where I live, for precisely 62, 500. Once that is done he asked me to call him and confirm and gave his mobile number. I would have been fooled but for the fact that Priyanka called again to make sure I had talked to her boss. The so-called Rakesh Bajaj also called again to check whether I had got a call from Reliance Insurance. Now, tell me which Government or any other Organization provides this sort of service? I got suspicious and called IRDA office in Hyderabad and New Delhi. They confirmed that the calls I had got were frauds and not to believe them. IRDA indeed have a Rakesh Bajaj in IRDA and these fraudsters are misusing his name.
Got a call earlier this morning from one X, who wanted to speak to Kaporji as Kaporji's policy bonus was waiting for him. Upon being asked who he was and where he was calling from the caller identified himself as Manish from Life Insurance. Upon being further asked which LI company he was calling from, Manish said: "no Company, I am calling from IRDA". Unfortunately for Mr. Manish, I am very well aware of what the IRDA is, its purpose and what it does and doesn't do. But I played along and asked which Kaporji did he want? The answer: K Narayan Kaporji. I told him no such person existed. At this point, Mr. Manish wanted to know in whose name the said landline was since there was a bonus waiting payout. I asked him, given that he was the person calling, did he not know. I refused to give him any information and told him it would be better for him if he did not try to use the regulator's name for such calls, or I might file charges against him. That led him to terminate the call in a hurry.
My request to everybody out there: Your insurance and other policies are confidential, do not share information with anyone who calls, SMS-es or emails you without verifying. These are just ways to get their hands on bonafide investors and insurance holders. Please exercise care. Please be very suspicious of such calls.
I am getting similar calls from "IRDA". And the height is they make such calls on holidays too.
