Calling all CITIZENS OF INDIA WHO ARE CHEATED/DEFRAUDED BY AIRTEL
Dear Bretheren,
Kindly view 15th April Indian Express and The Hindu (Both Chennai edition)
http://expressbuzz.com/cities/chennai/customer-files-complaint-against-airtel/165478.html and
http://www.hindu.com/2010/04/15/stories/2010041559660300.htm
While we applaud Mr.Infant Dinesh for his bold initiative, my heart goes out to the rural folks AND other lesser mortals who otherwise won’t have any clue to the “gullible” marketing techniques of Private operators like Airtel. The sections in which the cases are registered by the Chennai Suburban Police shows the seriousness of the case, as I whistle-blowed couple of weeks ago, after hearing the language against Airtel, posted in various online forums by all of you.
Can we do together and make Airtel kneel-down and pay-up? Shall we have people volunteering from each state to file a police case and others following up with their complaints based on the Infant Dinesh model? Concentrate on VAS related frauds, they are huge, we found after a research. It’s against the LAW, charging without customer’ consent. Hence the police are taking it seriously and are looking at more evidence.
To start with Kindly email your complaint against Airtel to infantdinesh@gmail.com or gatesandwindows@gmail.com with subject Airtel. Write in brief a) Your basic details-Account or phone no, b) Your complaint c)Response from Airtel d) Quantify the tangible losses e) What are the intangible losses – Like losing connection, time waste, mental torture etc.,, if possible quantify that as well.
People in Chennai please contact Mr.Infant Dinesh @ 98413 14812(Folks, he’s an advocate as well) or myself @ 98410 47174 RIGHT NOW. With you, together, we’ll be meeting the Police Commissioner next week as per plan for the next steps.
Please pass on this message to your near and dear as well so as they can share their experiences as well.
Look forward to everyone’s support.
Good day!
Warm Rgds

Airtel is always like this… It is not going to change… Further it is not interested in Indian Telecom Industry with low margins… So it is looking for opportunities in other countries, first South Africa and now Bangladesh… (It is already operating in Pakistan…)
