Reliance is doing fraud business

I have one CDMA Prepaid number which was in my name name and was being used by my father. Due to the sad demise of my father in September 2010, that number was mostly unused and also most of the time off. It had a prepaid balance in excess of 500Rs (recharged on 08-08-2010), at the that time. Recently I checked that no. and saw that the balance had almost vanished. Feeling I might be mistaken, I recharged that no. on 10-05-2011 with 150Rs. as i wanted to keep that no. alive (emotional thing you can say). I checked the balance yesterday and was shocked to see that nearly half the balance had vanished. I checked the messages and found out a message stating that I had been subscribed to Callertunes service without my ever making any such request. They were cutting Rs1/2 days and were sending message to that effect and asking me to sms so and so number to unsubscribe. They ate up dont know how many 100's of rupees by these unethical tactics and donno what the overall impact of the loot must have been on all india basis.

FRAUD Balance deductions for Value Added Services by Reliance Mobile

<sub>My name is Naresh, I am the user of Reliance GSM number #######. Due to some reasons, I did not use the Reliance GSM sim in the month of October and last 3 weeks of September 2011. I remember the balance in the SIM was around Rs. 80 (I am not sure, but it was definitely above 50) in the first week of September. The SIM was not inserted in any mobile from 10th Sep to 31st October, even then when I checked the balance it showed Rs. 0.2.

I never thought there can be balance deductions without using the SIM automatically. I think Reliance has automatically activated some VAS like caller tune, etc and deducted charges for that.

Since I have never requested any VAS on this number as of now, these charges should be refunded back. There are so many complaints against Reliance GSM deducting charges for unwanted VAS. Proper action should be taken against Reliance so that such instances are not repeated.
