Incorrect, unexplained charges from Vodafone

I am using vodafone Postpaid plan which has unlimited data bandwidth. Suddenly I found last two months I have been charged for some download. When I inquired customer care they replied you downloaded “shotformat_dwnlp”. I tried to convey that my plan says I have unlimited data bandwidth, for which I pay more rental already. But the guy in CC was repeating statement like you have charged because you have downloaded some short format content, It was quite high charge of 99/- this time. I don’t understand how I can be charged when already I already paying for unlimited data. this is complete fraud from vodafone to cut the pocket of customer from backdoor. How I can identify the shotformat_dwnlp? We just browse the website, use emails with attachment.
I completely shocked for such charges and also more shocked to hear reply from customer care executive where he could not justify the charges but was insisting you downloaded, you pay!

  1. I am using vodafone Postpaid plan which has unlimited data bandwidth(E_Connect_499). Suddenly I found last two months I have been charged for some download. When I inquired customer care they replied you downloaded “shotformat_dwnlp”. I tried to convey that my plan says I have unlimited data bandwidth, for which I pay more rental already. But the guy in CC was repeating statement like you have charged because you have downloaded some short format content, It was quite high charge of 99/- this time(Totaly 333 rs this month). I don’t understand how I can be charged when already I already paying for unlimited data. this is complete fraud from vodafone to cut the pocket of customer from backdoor.
