Spam Call From Airtel Broadband

Written by Anurag Bhateja on April 27, 2009 – 11:52 am -

I recieved another Spam Call from Airtel Broadband/Landline people today. Before I could say anything bad they cut the phone after hearing my angry voice.

Spammer’s Number: 0172-4650748 :: Called to sell Airtel broadband Connection on Monday 27th April 2009 at 11:29 AM. These are my office hours and I am quite busy these days in completing my clients’ projects. Such calls really make me feel bad on part of Airtel and forcing me to surrender the connection I already have.

I wonder why these telecallers do not understand the fact that we are working class and we work hell lot to get everything sorted out in our life. Their call not only give us tension but the time spent in complaining against them is also very long.

Can TRAI only make rules and can not apply them? This is getting really a waste of time in mailing and telling the companies that this is not good to call me. I think from now on I will not say anything to them but will immediately post their name and number on my blog so that more and more people will know about these spammers.

If any official from the company come across my blog and have a small brain in their head to think over it please think and take some action before its too late for you people to handle the situation.

Monday Update: SMS Spamming

Written by Anurag Bhateja on April 20, 2009 – 7:22 pm -

Those who read my article on spam SMS marketing which is undertaken by many people in India must be aware how angry I was on that day. Although I am not feeling that bad today as I have to think on other things also as of working day. Now as the day is off, I can post the numbers and SMS right here on my blog.

1. Number: +919357896958 : TEXT MESSAGE: Get Reliance unlimited broadband + 75rs calls free in just Rs 499 monthly rental. Call- 9357896958. (Directly Reliance head office. Chd ). (Message received on 20th April 2009 at 01:33:32 PM. That working hours and he disturbed me during working hours.)

Now if I believe Mr.9357896958 than he is an employee at Reliance Head Office Chandigarh. Being an employee at Reliance he must be aware of TRAI rules and regulations over SMS marketing and knows that he can not send spam messages to anyone like this. If he is not aware than I reliance should feel ashamed of not training their employees properly. THEY DO NOT HAVE RIGHT TO SMS.

2. Number: +919888009998: TEXT MESSAGE: Advertisement in all News Papers, Siti Cable, My FM, Internet(WWW), Industrial Projects etc. at WAHDERA Advertising, Sec 42-B, Tel.5034563, Mob: 98887-10554. (Message received on 20th April 2009 at 04:01:05 PM. Again disturbed during working hours. I was in a meeting at that time grr.)

Now people who are advertising via WADHERA ADVERISING please note that they are spammers and can build a wrong impression of your business. They spammed my message box and that can also be your advertisment if you opt for SMS marketing. Horreble! right?

TRAI? DND? Who care!!

Written by Anurag Bhateja on April 18, 2009 – 10:20 pm -

First let me make myself very clear that I am not the one who do not obey the orders of TRAI under which bulk SMS, SMS marketing and calling for marketing should not be practiced if the subscriber has registered for DO NOT CALL REGISTRY.

Now from last few weeks I am continuously giving my advertisement in newspapers’ classified section so that I can get a boom in my business but unfortunately many unwanted SMS and calls come after such ads. Big names lik ICICI, Reliance, Airtel, etc and a bit small groups which claim to be BIG like Indo Global Consultants etc. are doing this INTENTIONALLY and disturbing people in between their working hours.

Now I am so pissed off by the at of such companies that I have decided to put everything on my blog with their numbers and if possible names of the person who called/messaged me as I do not think they will stop spamming as they think this is their BIRTH RIGHT.

Today is 19 April 2009 and the following is the list of numbers and messages which I received today.
1. Phone number : +91-9988136702 : TEXT MESSAGE received on 18th April 2009 at 03:03:14 PM IST.
Text message goes like: Personal Loan, Home Loan, Plot purchasing, Construction, Take over, Lap, Business Loan. All loans from Nationalized / PVT banks. Call me.

2. Phone number: +91-9878722933 : TEXT MESSAGE received on 18th April 2009 at 6:37:51 PM IST.
Text message goes like: Earn Rs 1000 to 35000 Per case. Become associate & refer students for MBBS courses in Russia, Europe, China. Courses very economical & recognized by MCI. for more info call us. Indo Global Consultants P. Ltd. Mohali.
>> My reply: Who allowed you to spam? (Sent around 20 minutes after receiving the massage)
>> Reply from Indo number: This s nt spam. This is a business proposal. If u r not interested simply delete the msg. Thank u. (Received at 8:15:55 PM)
>> My reply: Yes it is spam. The mail/sms which is unwanted is spam. (Sent immediately after the message)
>> Reply from Indo number: We send more than 1000 msg daily and more than 50 associates r working wid Indo Global. This is our job and also in benefit of students. Ok. Gud nite. (Received at 08:21:59 PM)
>> My reply: Read rules of TRAI. You can be in trouble 4 unauthorized telemarketing. Better delete my number frm your list. (Sent immediately after the message is received)
>> Reply from Indo Number: There is no list containing ur number.. And u kn there cn be a legal action to disturb persons after job hrs. Read labour laws carefully. Never send me msg again. This is nt my job timing.

Now this message really pissed me off. The person who sms me sent the message after 6:00 PM. SATURDAY IS MY OFFICIAL OFF DAY. I DO NOT WORK AFTER 5 PM IN ANY CASE!! He is tell me that I messaged him after working hours lolz. Now lets get the list of telecallers.

Oh! Airtel is getting on my nerves because they are calling me every day non stop at least twice a day to sell me AIRTEL BROADBAND though I am using THEIR internet connection from last 4 years!!! I have requested them not to call, scolded them not to call and then even abused them on calling me again and again for same stupid reason but they do not have self respect at all.

1. Number: 01724608066 :: Claimed to be calling from AIRTEL HEAD OFFICE PH 1 INDUSTRIAL AREA CHANDIGARH. Called me at 03:45 PM when I was watching a movie with my friend as it was my off day and I was trying to relieve my tensions by enjoying the movie. But that bloody stupid girl called and messed up with my day. OOO I AM IN BIG TIME ANGRY MOOD. They think I can not say anything wrong to a girl as this is against ethics but they do not know I CAN BLOG ABOUT THEM.

My intensions are very clear. From now on every SPAM CALL OR SPAM SMS will be blogged. I will teach them a lesson. Sooner or later they will relaize that spamming is not accepted in any case at all.
