Scam by the company to reduce your balance , increase your bills etc . Will give miss call from a unknown number and expect you to call back and then slap you with hundreds of rupees for calling ISD , or someone else might tell you to do things like press hash etc to steal your IMEI number , so that they can misuse it in other place , all firms use their own database , there should be a universal database which puts an entry of an IMEI number so that no one else in the world can use it , dreaming :bleh:. Both ways our loss . You might be charged for even picking up the call . So beware .
One guy called me from such a number and asking to press hash , I said no , then he was like I ll cut your phone , this is a criminal offense . I told him to stop watching movies , they way he was talking made me fall out of my seat laughing . I was thinking I foiled the guy's plan but then on my next bill there was a Rs 100 for one single ISD call .
Had to give an ultimatum of porting out for which they later agreed it was me who received a call , and talked less than 2 minutes . For 2 minutes Rs 100 . Which country is so expensive to call ? .
I have even received call showing " unknown number " , obviously I cut it .
