[Resolved]  PLAT-5 — Cheating by PLAT-5

Address: West Bengal

Hi ,
On 27-Aug I received a call from number [protected],they told me they are from PLAT-5 company and they are offering a free discount card on a promotional basis.For this I do not have to pay a single paise.They told me for verification I have to get one time IVR password for that I need to send a SMS as IOTP <last 4 digits credit card> and in turn I received a SMS having the password.They again called me after few moments and told me that they are going to connect to the ICICI IVR systems and I need to punch in the password and my credit card number and CVS ,all through this time they told me I do not have to pay a single paise.
I believed them the moment from my mobile I punched in the IVR password, credit card and cvs number,then to my shock I received a SMS that my credit card has been charged 4964.

This is cheating as this was without my knowledge and approval.
I will do everything in my capacity against this corrupt practice.

Thank You
Jaydeep Mitra

plat5 — Grievance

I got a call from a company- plat 5.comwhich offeredme a "free" card-which was told tome over a "recorded" line 5 times. After I verified all my details which was required, and which included verifying details of my existing credit card, I was informed that I had a free card, but then I got a confirmation call that I had been charged almost 5000 for the card! And I would be charged no matter what. Still trying to figure where I can go for justice!

Hey Guys,
I just now recieved a call from them [protected]. I am on the 7th or may be 8th Cloud. This discount card is so amazing and wonderful that i will just dream of it. Means, i will only keep it as a dream an not a Nightmare. I agree that they are pretty sarcastic comments but sorry.

I only got these details from them and may be they help you all.

She knew my Name (may be by some companies who provide them Mobile Numbers with Owner Names) so dont be excited that she knows your name and your number is the Lucky Number (I hope that it will be for Giving you lots of money in return of some work you do and not taking away)
Send SMS as - IOTP [last for digits at back of creditcard]
Here the first thing i know, is never disclose your CVV Number to any DAMN guy. Even i played with the lady after asking all the details and showing that i am really interested then later i said ohh! i dont have the Credit Card with me and i can only give the details for my Debit card (its not easy for them to take out the money out of a Debit Card but still dont underestimate them, Crooks are everywhere n can apply any means !! However, in Debit card she was not interested. ** but if they are then again be cautious.)
5676766 - This Number send SMS, may be it can be traced out. Help yourself guys

OTP will be generated with 6 digits - 3/4 Battle u already lost with these crooks, even if you gave them CVV still dont go ahead with this step as she will give a call again in 5 min when u already sent the above message. As i got the information from you guys. Great Thanks to All of You.

Plat5 discount card - A display card for discounts that you will already pay as the forceful fees of 4-5 K. I appreciate there crooked ways that they have the septup of swiping your card instantantly in... 5 min u said. BIG [censored]S

There Partner Company Heritage Holiday Private Ltd [HHPL] - God knows who they are.

So finally guys learn some golden rules of banks. And if possible dont use Credit Cards as they are not useful and open the gates for these PLAT5 kind of crooks.

Remeber there are no free lunches...actual work that you do will pay you back.
appreciate the comments posted by Jaydeep., i too got a call now and checked online and blasted them for cheating., they hung up and am sure will never call me again
not sure, as to how the banks have permitted them to allow the banks IVR. there is an agreement which each bank has to sign post thorough verifications of the dealer, if its not a fraud. not sure, if the banks are doing the scrutinty on this or they are hand in glove in such fraud.
