Dear Sir,
I received a call from ********2047 on 04-10-2010. The person named Akash told me that my airtel mobile number ********70 has won a lottery of 10 lakhs from Airtel and asked me to call 00********2899. When we called this number, the person named Vijay Kumar also confirmed us by saying that our no. has been selected by Airtel and has won 10 Lakh Rupees and asked me to recharge my mobile with an amount of Rs.300/- and to call him. When I called him he said that I have to buy Dish TV ITZ coupon worth Rs.14,000/- from any dealer. I went to Jayanti Market and purchased the same and confirmed him. Then he said that my lottery no. is ********7180 and asked us the account no. of our bank. We gave him the same information. Then he gave us their cheque no. which ********750007 and told us that it will be only transfered if we pay the charges by again purchasing Dish TV ITZ coupons of Rs19,000 or 25,000. For a payment of Rs. 19,000/- cheque will be deposited in our account in 4 days and for Rs. 25,000/- it will be transfered in 2 days. After hearing this i declined and asked him to return back the amount of Rs.14,000/-, for which he said only half will be paid on Monday (8-11-2010). I contacted him on Monday to which he said that the amount will be paid on Tuesday by 11:00 a.m. So I called the person today to which he said check your account the amount is already transfered. When I checked there was no amount credited in our account. When I called him back informing this, then again he told me to purchase Dish TV ITZ coupons worth Rs.2500/-. This ultimately means that the person and the organization is a fraud and dosn't intend to return any amount or give the lottery amount. I don't know how many more peoples are being victimised by Airtel's lottery system.This is a mental harrasment which happened because we trusted AIRTEL Company. I request that if my mobile number has won 10 lac Rs. I should be payed the same without any condition as I have already paid Rs.14,000/- through coupon or else I should be paid back my Rs.14,000/-. No terms and conditions have been conveyed to us before the transaction. I request this forum to do justice.
Waiting for justice.
