Vodafone bill charged for d2c_mgossip_pack49

I am a Vodafone Postpaid Customer in Mumbai using 3G data plan.
Vodafone has charged me RS 49/- including in bill for downloading d2c_mgossip_pack49, a stuff which I had never downloaded. When I called their Customer Forum for explanation, they had no proper explanation. My contact no. is +919930995366
I saw lot of complaints regarding this. I hope Vodafone is lloking at Root cause & addressing it.

    Hello Bhushan,

    Thanks for talking to us. As conveyed, the charges for downloads are accurate. However, as a special gesture we’ve reversed Rs.49 & the same will reflect in the forthcoming bills.

    I was also duped like this…. four times in last 2 months….vodafone has charged me D2C_MGOSSIP_PACK49. I would request Vodasfone to shed light on wat actually was downloaded. because when we speak to the customer care executives. they do not have any reasonable explanation and are really arrogant.

    Dear Vodafone team,
    I wonder what’s this strategy of making money from customers.
    I was charged Rs 49 twice last month for d2c_mgossip49 and another Rs 15 for animation download, in the Month of March.
    When I called up CC, they didn’t give any proper expplation on it.
    This month (April ) again there is additional Bill for, mobilart_valuepack Rs 30, and twice the animation download , chagrin Rs 15 each..
    This is rediculous.
    Please reimburse the money and help us know where these charges are coming from, so that we can avoid these unexpected charges.

    Hello Anil Thakur,

    Thanks for talking to us. As conveyed, the charges of Rs.60 has been accurately levied towards the downloads in the bill dated 5 May 2014 since the same has been made via premium website. Further, the charges for downloads will be based on the content.

    Hello Vodafone,

    I have the same problem. I have been charged 30Rs twice under the category “Downloads” “mobilart_valuepack”. Please explain what these charges are ?
    I have been using data pack for over 2 years now and never had this extra charge for any downloads. Your customer service representative is unable to explain it to me.

    Hi,
    I am Mayur Bhanushali and my mobile no is 9986827907. Even I am facing the same problem for the current bill. Vodafone has charged me Rs. 218 for 6 downloads which I have not done. See the list below
    mobilart_valuepack Rs. 30
    wapvilla_ppd Rs. 4 6
    hello1_tvallsouth Rs. 30
    hello1_tvallsouth Rs. 30
    mobilart_valuepack Rs. 30
    wapvilla_ppd Rs. 49
    I called up customer care and they are not even ready to take a complaint on this. They are saying these are valid charges and they do not have any explanation on this. They have confirmed that these are not vodafone services.
    Kindly help to resolve this.
    Thanks,

    Even I am facing the same issue. According to my bill for June, I was charged Rs. 30 for hello1_tvallsouth download.
    I didn’t download any such thing!
    Vodafone care was not of any help. They just said that I had downloaded it and I had to pay for it. Funny thing is they didn’t reply about what hello1_tvallsouth was. So I did some googling on my own and I found that there’s a website called hello1.in which provide live TV services. Hello1.in is a 3rd party VAS content provider for Vodafone! The VAS link is https://www.vodafone.in/vas/pages/hello1_tv.aspx.
    So I want to ask Vodafone – if you charged me for downloading (which I didn’t) a VAS, why is the VAS not active against my number?

    Now a days it has become a practice to charge anything to customer.

    One simpe question: Vodafone says, i have clicked some link which was paid and that is why they are charging me for the amount. What i dont understand, if i have not authorised the payment, and by chance the link was clicked, even though u click back, the charge has been deducted. Ideally they should ask me for the payment, and once approved, they should proceed. These links can claim to charge any dam amount (Clearly visible in so many above posts). By this, vodafone is simply promoting fraud sites and links to fool people.

    My Vodafone number is 9873508307. I have been charged Rs.30 for downloads in june month.

    Code: hello1_tvallsouth
    Amount: Rs. 30

    Hi Vodafone Team,

    I have received my latest month and after checking the same i have found that the amount of Rs. 49 is wrongly deducted under section Download (d2c_mgossip_pack49), as i don’t make such downloads during mobile browsing. I have called your customer support 198 number but they were unable to provide me the details if the same.
    Please check at your end and let me know why this amount has been deducted. Also, request you to make necessary adjustment in this latest bill only.

    Hello,

    Even i have been looted by Vodafone for Downloads or Services that i have never used. I have been charged close to 300/- in the past 2 months on 2 Mobile Numbers for Hello1_tvallsouth, Mobileart_valuepack, Wapvill_ppd, Animation_download which i have never downloaded. As usual, Vodafone Customer Care is of no help. The Number of people Complaints for this Issue is becoming ridiculous. Vodafone is clearly looting everyone. We need to approach Consumer Court and stop this fraud.
    Vodafone, Stop this malpractice and Refund my Money.

    I have received your latest bill dated 25/5/2014 to 24/6/2014 for Rs.1,338.07. This includes a charge of VF mobile connect for Rs.899/-. I have never requested for a mobile connect and I don’t understand how you can give me a mobile connect to me or anybody without their consent. In fact I have been very upset with a free mobile connection that was bundled with a SONY mobile phone that I had purchased and I had complained about the same. So I definitely did not want a mobile connection from Vodafone and have been using a internet connection from my home wi fi. Please deduct the amount from my bill. I believe this is cramming and is a matter for TRAI to look into.

    Hi,
    Vodafone has charged me Rs. 99 for hello1_tvallsouth. This happened twice and I am afraid this is going to continue for next month too.
    On contacting CC they are are not having information on this anonymous charge.
    As for security reason, Vodafone must be able to at least track it, Otherwise how do we prevent any fraud.
    I got no choice but to port.

    Hi All,

    I sent a request for converting my Vodafone number to TCS corporate on 3 June 2014 but unfortunately only my tariff plan got changed to the one provided by TCS but my organisation was still IBM Daksh (As per my last bill I received on 5th July). I again sent a request for conversion to TCS corporate on 08 July 2014 (ignoring the mistake by vodafone) but still it is not active.

    As a result, I am being billed for all CUG calls made within TCS network. Now why should I pay for these extra charges due to Vodafone’s mistake.

Twice in last months bill and also, once in earlier bill.….vodafone has charged me D2C_MGOSSIP_PACK49. I would request Vodasfone to shed light on what actually was downloaded. because when we speak to the customer care executives. they do not have any reasonable explanation and are really arrogant.

    I tried writing an email and talking to customer care. I have not downloaded any such content, however I am still getting charged. When I was charged earlier, I had mentioned to CustomerCare, to stop any such services from my mobile / my number. However, I still got charged twice in my bill for June 2014.
    More to this, Vodafone has disabled my outgoing calls / SMSs without any appropriate reply.

    This is ridiculous.
    Please reimburse the money and help us know where these charges are coming from, so that we can avoid these unexpected charges.

    But I haven’t downloaded anything from any such sites.
    Vodafone using cheap tricks to increase their profit.
    How can they just allow to deduct their customers money by just clicking on any such websites without customers permission.
    Just by clicking any websites why should our money should deducted.If they are billing then their should propery gateway or something.

    Vodafone just earning money from backgroung by doing this cheap tricks.

    I am not a child who doesn’t know where to click, where not.
    I want my money back, otherwise I am not going to pay respective month’s bill.
    Kindly look in to this and resolve the same.

  76. My Name is Jatin Soni. My number is +91 99*****122. I am from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I have received charges for downloading which i never attempted. I have received Rs 110 odd for the month of June and Rs 826 for the month of July. This is unfair practice to collect money from your postpaid customer. It seems as if Vodafone could not collect money from Government of India for their dispute over transaction tax, they are adopting such unfair means to collect money from the citizens of India. I guess, you should start one HAFTA VASULI KENDRA instead of using such means to collect money and fooling people like this.

    They have charged me Rs. 826 for following

    dwap_wal_0049_ppu_fut00130 – Rs. 637 (13 times)
    hello1_tvallsouth_30 – Rs. 90 (3 times)
    hello1_tvallsouth_99 – Rs. 99

    I wont pay the bill untill this is sort out.

    Hi,

    My vodafone number is 9620788350. I would be able to see the extra charges for downloading the application for hello1_tvallsouth Rs. 30 in June2014 bill.
    After communicating with Vodafone Customer care they had waived off these charges immediately but again they reverted waived off charges and added in July 14 Bill along with one more download application which is for hello1_movies_10 10/- and pko_h1tvw_w_35 35/-. So totally they have added 45/- extra plus tax on this amount. But i never downloaded any application .

    I requested number of times to the vodafone customer care to waived off these charges from my bill, But they are not responding properly. Seems to be it is time to move on to the other network otherwise may keep on add these charges in our bills.

    Kindly revert the charges which was charged extra i n July 14 Bill.

    Thanks,
    Srinivas.

  79. My name is Amit from Pune, and Vodafone is charging Rs 30 from past 2 months for hello1_tvallsouth pack which is not downloaded by me, contacted the customer care and they dont have any reasonable answer to my queries also dropped a mail to Vodafone corporate email-id but didnt received any convincing answer from them too. It seem that Vodafone is doing the looting business of charging customer without there knowledge. Very bad experience.

    I am requesting vodafone to refund this amount from my bill asap.

  85. Hi,
    Vodafone has charged me Rs. 196 for d2c_mgossip_pack49, on contacting CC they are are not having information of what this is about, how come any third party vendor if any charge something from my account and vodafone having no information of it, vodafone itself must me making payment to it, we pay for any paid services online by making payment, how come vodafone does not even have source of it.
    Very disappointed by vodafone service

  86. Today the Customer Care executive called me up and asked to send the message ‘CAN TVALL’ to 111 to check if any TV packages are subscribed. In reply to the SMS I received the SMS saying “You have not subscribed for any pacakages!”, It means that Im not using any such services. Vodafone is not looking seriously into this matter, where lot of people are suffering from this extra charges. It affecting people mentally aswell as monetarily.

  87. Vodafone Customer Care is not giving proper justification they are just blaming the user saying that your handset is downloading the pack and its not their fault. If I’m downloading pack it should be displayed on my handset.

    Very disappointed by Vodafone service.

    I wonder what’s this strategy of making money from customers.
    I was charged Rs 49 last month for d2c_mgossip, in the Month of August .
    When I mail up Customer Care, they didn’t give any proper expplation on it.
    Please reimburse the money and help us know where these charges are coming from, and please clear that is this a service or any type of apps or any thing else.

    Vodafone has charged me RS 253 extra for my last month postpaid bill. Its showing i have downloaded something from HELLO1_TVALLSOUTH , handygo_javagame_2,dittotv_w_35 & vuclipindia_pack99 with date and time but not showing how much data I have downloaded.But I have activated 2g unlimited plan even though they are deducting the money. But I haven’t downloaded anything from any such sites. Vodafone using cheap tricks to increase their profit. How can they just allow to deduct their customers money by just clicking on any such websites without customers permission. Just by clicking any websites why should our money should deducted.If they are billing then their should proper gateway or something. Vodafone just earning money from background by doing this cheap tricks. All scams to increase their profit some should complaint this issues with consumer court.

  95. I am Vodafone Postpaid customer from Rajasthan. I have also been charged 178 Rs. for the same kind of downloads. I called customer care but did not get good response. I also contacted [email protected] (interaction no. 82369050 ) but every time i send them an email, i get some automatic kind of response which only talks about their system, not a reply of my questions. Really pissed off with Vodafone service. We have 5 numbers under CUG plan, planning to PORT to some other provider.

  96. Hi ,
    I all i am a vodafone user in AP with number 9885293181 and i have an issue with the billing towards downloads.

    I was charged with an amout of Rs 129 and Rs 377 in my Post Paid bill towards downloads and this is since i started using 3G services for the first 2 months( Need to look for 3 month bill if they do the same thing)
    Please check the below downloads which are funny and it makes no sense if one can download such things.
    The below is for previous i.e. June-July bill period ( first month since i started using 3G)
    1.hello1_tvallsouth_ – Rs 99
    2.hello1_tvallsouth_ – Rs 30
    3.hello1_tvallsouth_ – Rs30
    4. d2c_ndtc_valuepk_99 – Rs 99
    5. deals_mydala_99 Rs 99

    The below is for last month i.e. July-August bill period ( second month since i started using 3G)

    1. d2c_ndtc_valuepk_30 – Rs 30
    2. shotformat_dwnlp_99 – Rs 99

    The above items were never seen in my last 1 years bill period since i started using 2G and as soon as i started using the 3G services this kind of charges are been included in the bill.

  98. Hi,

    My vodafone number is 9620788350. I would be able to see the extra charges for downloading the application for wapvilla_ppd: Rs. 49 in Aug2014 bill.
    But i never downloaded any application .

    Extra charges got reversed in June14 and July14 bills. Thanks.

    Kindly revert the charges which was charged extra(49/-) i n Aug 14 Bill.

    Thanks,
    Srinivas.

  99. Vodafone is clearly indulging in fraud.

    It’s amazing that they have gotten away with it for so long!! Just think about it; the vodafone customer service representative answering on this forum has never once attempted to explain what’s going on. They are simply letting people know that they ‘tried to get in touch’. Clearly there is a problem and by now it is no longer sufficient to resolve this on a case by case basis. Vodafone needs to act unilaterally at their end, investigate the matter (if they are genuinely in the dark on this matter, which I highly doubt) and deliver a solution. This will mean that they will need to refund everyone that they have incorrectly charged, but if they don’t get to this soon, they will be in serious trouble. There is no way what they are doing can be legal. Think about it, Uber cabs are leaving India because the government is not allowing them to bill customers without double verification of the credit card at the time to service/transaction is completed. So no way Vodafone can justify what they are trying to pull off here.

    Going to pursue this to the bitter end…

    My mobile number is 9999340427. I have been charged last month I have been charged for hello1_tvallsouth. Only Vodafone team and God can say what are these charges for. Tried to call the customer care but they are unable to provide any satisfactory solution.

    Further i am unable to understand how vodafone is authorised to pay to any third party on my behalf without any authorization and confirmation from my side.

    Requesting the concerned authority to look into the matter and stop any such payment in future and also to refund the amount charged to my account.

    Further requesting the authorities to kindly take the matter seriously and stop such payments where the customer is unaware of such charges. These might be the sites which try to fool the customer and without there information charging the customers.

  104. Hi Vodafone,

    I am from Mumbai and my number is 9820101596 having a 1GB 3g plan active. I saw Rs. 30 being charged in my mobile bill with below given description.
    “hello1_tvallsouth_ – Rs 30”
    When I checked with the customer care they are saying I downloaded something due to which the charge has come in the bill whereas I remember very well that I never download anything related to TV or SOUTH. When asked for more details on this, the customer care says this is the only info they have. I feel cheated by the Vodafone company for charging me for something I never used or downloaded. Please reverse this ASAP and avoid this from appearing in my further bills.
    Also please stop fooling your own customers by adding such unknown charges in their bills.

    Vodafone charges me RS 99 under downloads for my postpaid number 9711494558.
    On contacting CC they say hello1_**** caused the charge. No further details. I never used any such service. Please resolve this issue, cant continue with vodafone postpaid if it keeps adding hidden costs like this.

  107. Dear Vodafone, I received a call from one of your executive today morning and he said you can reverse the charges now. when I asked him if you have more details of what I had downloaded as per you he said Vodafone isnt liable to maintain such details. So for me now its seems like someone comes up to Vodafone and tell him to beat up a person and vodafone goes on to beat him up without getting and maintaining details of why vodafone has been asked to beat that particular person which makes no sense to me. If any website tell Vodafone to charge a particular amount to its customer then Vodafone is liable to get the details of why the customer needs to be charged this Rs. 30. The Vodafone executive who called me was so arrogant and rude and insisted they cant reverse it and the company wont maintain any such details. I asked him if such unwanted charges are going to come in the bill then why should we stay with Vodafone so he said that is upto you yo decide whether to stay or not… which means they are not bothered about customer’s problems and arent interested in retaining the customers. The “We are happy to help” tagline of Vodafone is all fake. I also told him that on this site VOdafone has confirmed that they have reverse the chanrges for many of the customer then why cant they reverse it for me to which he said they cant reverse then he arrogantly hung up on the call. I am shocked to hell with such a behaviour of the company’e executive. Rs 30 is not a problem but the fact that company isnt bothered about customer’s problem is a big shock. I am going to take this up with TRAI now.

  111. There is some unwanted pack (d2c_mgossip_pack49) activated on my mobile no 9673890900 for bill cycle (5-8-14 to 4-9-14) and I have been charged for INR 49/- for same. I have not requested for any pack activation and didn’t get any confirmation from your side regarding the same so I request you to kindly rectify the bill and revert the unwanted charges for the same.

    I got reply from vodafone on 19 Sep 2104 10:53 AM (Morning)

    We tried to call you on 19/09/2014 at 9:53pm, 10:17pm, but number found unanswered

    Whether they do future calling OR sent this fake email 1 day earlier.

    I received my ebill today for cycle 21.08.2014 to 20.09.2014 and could see that i was charged 49rs for downloading “dwap_wal_0049_ppu_fut******” whereas i have not downloaded any such file.
    After this the support representative said it is because you might have went on this website, when inquired about which website, there was no revert at all and said it was chargeable.
    When i have an active internet plan why am i being charged for this even though im sure i never downloaded or visited any such link?
    The Support Representative “Somanth” was constantly giving non-factual explanations and was of no help.
    This is preposterous and shows your competency, i would like for Vodafone to address this issue immediately as this is simple robbing customers without any explanation.

    see this, same usages, if i m fool or illiterate than whynot i had done mistakes as ur vodafone people have been saying me that i may have clicked some link, so far i m using same thing which i had from when i started 2G services, but now from last 3 months its worse now, going over head,
    well if vodafone people have tied up with the 3rd party services why not u informed the peoples who r using vodafone service, and why those are hidden, wedont need such 3rd party charges,,

  119. Dear Vodafone

    It is sad to see that this is happening to you.
    Let me tell you, I also faced the same situation for my this month bill.
    I have been charged Rs. 50 for Hangama.com which I never even knew what is it.
    The tried googling this & landed to this site.
    Vodafone is doing this Fraud & trying to make money out of it!!
    I had complained in the customer care but these people are pathetic. They said the charges are legitimate & I had downloaded this. Which I never actually downloaded. My interaction number is 1017556548 .
    People like me who are educated & rational will have to do something about this to stop all this malpractices by an MNC.
    I will be escalating this matter to the Regional Head & also file a case in consumer court about this.

    Hi Guys,

    Go to simtool setting option on your phone and disable Flash !
    This will stop such a deduction from any of the service providers(vodophone,Airtel,Idea………………etc)
    This is one type of business for this people…………….to steal money form the customers.
    For who raise a complaint they replay you used this service so they charged and we are not responsible and wont return you a penny.
    So be aware and turn of FLASH on your device.
    Spread the words to your friends and family.

    Dear Vodafone,
    In my bill, Rs 360 has been charged for downloads even when I was having free 3G data available in my account. Charges are as benlow:
    hello1_tvallsouth Rs46
    d2c_mgossip_pack Rs49
    d2c_mgossip_pack Rs49
    wapvilla_ppd Rs 3 5
    d2c_ndtv_valuepk_ Rs 9 9
    d2c_mgossip_pack49 Rs4 9
    wapvilla_ppd Rs 4 9

    On getting in touch with CCE, even they are not able to give any proper reply, jst saying that I might have clicked on paid website. CC executive is not evn able to reply that what exactly I have downloaded and how much amount of data has been downloaded. Its really too much weird.
    If any website services paid downloads, that amount is charged from credit card or net banking whatever. Its not like that the amount of data being downloaded like 2MB or 5 MB will be charged from operator especially when customer is having pool of free data available.
    I am not a illiterate person that I dont understand these things. Even I am involved in telecommunication sector as a manager in Tech Mahindra.
    On seeing above got-getters, I realized the reality of vodafone that how they are robbing the money from customer.

  125. Hi,
    Vodafone has charged me Rs. 99 for my_dallas%. This happened twice and I am afraid this is going to continue for next month too.
    I am sure of not clicking any website, even my FLASH services are off (as suggested by vodafone).
    On contacting CC they are are not having information on this anonymous charge.
    As for security reason, Vodafone must be able to at least track it, Otherwise how do we prevent any fraud.
    I got no choice but to port.
    Very disappointed by vodafone service.

  126. I am vijay…My number is 9962979063…Why have I been charged for download charges apart from monthly rental plan. what is that

  127. Dear Vodafone

    I am thoroughly disappointed in you.
    Having ignored the deductions of INR 49.00 thrice last month, this time I m shocked and disgusted to see that INR 99.00 has been deducted from my account yesterday for some ” DNLD-DEALS-MYDALA_99-MYDALA”. Having called the CCE, they told me it was due to a download of MY DELIGHTS, which I have NOT even downloaded. and with my ongoing 2G data pack of 6rs which gives 30mb of GPRS, How is it even possible for me to download it? And I am not an ignorant customer or someone who doesn’t know to handle phones, to pass this off as a mishandling issue.
    They told me they would refund 99rs in the next 2 hours, but there has been NO sign of refund till now. Pathetic.
    This has gone too far. I had been a happy Vodafone customer for 6 years now, but now i am a pissed off and angry one. I will discontinue using Vodafone, and advise everyone else to do the same. Educated and rational people like us will have to do something about this as our tolerance level has been crossed by Vodafone.
    I will be reporting this matter to the Regional Head & also file a case in consumer court.

    Vodafone has again deducted 99/- for a Download while i have never done. This is happening the 3rd time now. The previous 2 times, i had escalated it to the Nodal Office and i was ensured it will not happen again. But this is getting Ridiculous now. Vodafone is looting money from people by performing such cheap malpractices. Shame on you Vodafone. I need my Money Refunded.

    Now this is frustrating, my complaint for last month was never addressed to by Vodafone. On the other hand, in this month bill they have charged me Rs. 30 for download hello1_TVallsouth_ which I never downloaded. 🙁

    This is too much.
    I think i will discontinue the service of vodafone ultimately.

    If you see in “usage section” on page 3 of my bill you charged Rs 148 in downloads, since i am using the internet package and any downloads must come under the usage of my data package then for what reason you charged for downloads.

    Please specify the reason for charging Rs 148 separately.

    Dear Sir,
    My Vodafone no. 8141236372 I also have a similar complaint. There was a similar deduction from my main balance towards ‘DNLD-DWAP-WAL-0049-PPU-FUT00130 for Rs 49 on 15.11.2014
    Customer care executive (on 198) told that they didn’t disclose information about such sites.
    Please refund

    Really unhappy with the Vodafone service. I was charged as per below and when contacted call center, none of the executives give me consistant reply else they hang up the call. And I dont even remember receiving any message regarding these services. I am currently using unlimited 3G pack.

    Vodafone has been charging me for the past 3 months. I need to know what that is? I had called Vodafone care and also asked in stores but they are not able to tell the reason. They are saying those are download charges and I am quite sure I have not downloaded anything paid. They saying they do not have a track of the websites. Please address this issue asap. Thank you.

  163. Hi,

    I have been charged Rs. 49 thrice for the following downloads which I am sure I have not subscribed to:

    Downloads
    17/11/14-19:51:55 d2c_mgossip_pack49
    19/11/14-11:23:22 d2c_mgossip_pack49
    24/11/14-18:49:13 d2c_mgossip_pack49

    I would really appreciate if someone from Vodafone would help me understand the cause of these charges and prove what service has been provided to me for the same.

    I see a lot of customers have had similar complaints in the past and it has still not been rectified.

    Hi,

    I was charged Rs 49/- by Vodafone for downloading or subscribing ‘DNLD-D2C_SALPARNI_LOOKATIT_PPU_49-SALPARNI’ which I didn’t. There is no proper response from Customer Service when contacted. I am expecting a genuine reply of what exactly it is and refund of the mentioned amount as I am sure of not downloading or subscribing for the service. My mobile no: 9032468648

    Thanks,

  167. i also have been looted by Vodafone for Downloads or Services that i have never used. I have been charged close to 75/- in the last months bill for hell Mobileart_valuepack99 download which i have never downloaded. As usual, Vodafone Customer Care is of no help. The Number of people Complaints for this Issue is becoming ridiculous. Vodafone is clearly looting everyone. We need to approach Consumer Court and stop this fraud. Surprisingly i am advocate also
    Vodafone, Stop this malpractice and Refund my Money.

    Hi,

    Even i was charged with Rs 98/- in the downloads for d2c_mgossip_pack49 and wapvilla_ppd , though i have never downloaded anything. When contacted you customer care no concrete information was given to me.

    The interesting part is both the download charges were levied at almost same time on different time which clearly indicates that these charges are something which are not true. This fraudulent activity on postpaid bills is really very unfortunate.

    And looking at the posts above i can clearly figure out its not just me who is facing this issue, many more customers are facing this as well. But what is more disappointing is vodafone has done nothing to stop this fraudulent usage.

    Expecting a resolution soon from your side.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have been charged for the same things. “d2c_mgossip_pack49” “hello1_tvallsouth_” “wapvilla_ppd”

    Also to say I have been charged twice for the same thing in a month on separate days isn’t that COOL, check the unnecessary download charges even though I have active data plan.

    I had been charged similarly in the Oct 2014 month which was revoked after emails written to vodafone care however this time they are saying it is accurately checked & billed. Last time when I spoke to the Vodafone executive they informed me that the download charges occur when the ADs are clicked & to solve the issue they asked me to remove the Vodafone live & MMS & some other APN leaving the only Vodafone Connect which is required for data plan. I had done the same & to take extra prevention I also installed ADBLOCK PLUS which has filtered all the ads still I have been charged unnecessarily. This is completely not accepted from the brand like VODAFONE.

    If someone is hearing, request you to get this sorted out. Find the charges applied on my current bill.

    Vodafone person called but was really rude & not ready to accept that they have charged me unnecessary for what I have not done.

    BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE

    STRAIGHT AWAY SAID WE CANNOT STOP SUCH CHARGES TO OCCUR.

    MEANS THEY WANT TO MAKE MONEY OTHER WAY ROUND LIKE THIS.

  176. I was charged over Rs.170 within 2 days in the last week. When I called customercare, they said i accessed a chargeable website hello1_tvallsouth multiple times and that is why i lost the cash. I haven’t consciously used the said website ever. I haven’t subscribed to any such service also. I request vodafone to please help me here as a loss of Rs.170 is not something I can ignore.

    I am surprised to see that the same website has been reported in many of the comments above. And all the users deny using it knowingly. So is this some pop-up ad website?

    If the problem is so common, there really should be some solution. Before such large amounts are deducted from our accounts, we should be notified. There should be some clear double-checking. Without that, how will any user know whether a single click can lose him his entire balance?!

    So please address this issue asap. Thank you.

    they have charged me 326 rps for downloading some vauge content like

    wapvilla_ppd Rs. 49
    hello1_tvallsouth Rs. 30
    mgossip pack Rs. 49
    ndtv_valuepack Rs. 99
    d2c short form Rs 99
    wapvilla_ppd Rs. 49
    I called up customer care and they are not even ready to take a complaint on this. They are saying these are valid charges and they do not have any explanation on this. They have confirmed that these are not vodafone services.

    I have looked at this forum 99% customers are charged by this service. how can everybody be so dump to download it
    this is a trap from Vodafone

    This are making cheap money from their customer.
    I have also used airtel Internet since 2012 and never faced this problem

    I am a prepaid user and I was charged around Rs.40 on something called chargeable websites. Plz do clarify on what is chargeable websites, and why was not there a prompt from Vodafone before I unassumingly clicked on the chargeable website. Do give a detailed clarification and how to avoid these in the future and also if u have any solution to block the chargeable websites, do guide us on it. tx.

    Dear vodafone, if you really want to lose your customers, you may continue this HELLO TV SCAM as people call it. I have been connected to vodafone since 8 years but since the last 6 months these download charges have really been looking like a fraudulent way to earn.

    Since last 2 months i have been charged 49 and 99 rupees in the name of hello tv.

    You can understand that these are FAKE charges by just looking at the difference in the charges 49 and 99. Had it been a valid charge, the amount would have been same. But they are not valid as all these customers can not lie.

    Kindly stop leving extra charges. If you want to increase the rental just do it. Please dont charge like this.

  194. Hello fellow vodafone users

    Vodafone has replied to many in this forum as “We are here to help and will do our best to resolve your concerns. Please share your current and alternate contact numbers in the following link.” So how did they help you? By calling you again to repeat that they can do nothing about it? That is what they did for me..

    They refuse to refund the cash. The cash was taken from my account by some third-party websites and so they cannot get back the cash to me. Then i ask them, “Can I block these services to make sure something like this will not happen in the future?” Again, there is nothing they can do. Isn’t that great? Think about our banks telling us: “Yes, you can create accounts in our bank. You can put all your money into it. You can draw cash from it as you want. But any other third party also can draw cash from your account (without any authorization) and there is no way you or we can prevent that. You just have to live with that risk.” This is horrible.

    Dear Vodafone,
    You say I may have “accidentally” clicked on some link which led to this disaster. What if my balance was zero when i “accidentally” clicked on this link? The link would have blocked these services, right? I want the same to happen, even if I have any balance. I want to block strangers from looting my Vodafone account. Please make this possible. If not, we would love to know why. I donot want to keep my accounts with someone who cannot protect it from outsiders.

    Though your customer care was very polite when saying “we will consider your feedback”, i doubt it means anything, as this post is going on non-stop for over 8 months.

  195. Hello,

    We’ll call you back in a short while since we did not get any response when we called your number.

    My balance was deducted 49 rs twice on my Vodafone number 9442314411 once on last Friday night and again one just a few hours back . The deduction says some useless gossip pack has been activated ,for which I dint give My consent . I just want refund for the same . I.e. 98 rs . I have been following up with your Cc for the past one week and no proper response from your team .. They just keep the phone ringing while escalating the call to the floor manager . I have been trying to contact your chennai nodal officer mathan . His number is either busy or he never picks up the call

    I am not going to leave this as it is coz the response your Cc executives tell is so pathetic. How come you expose my balance to a third party website and without my consent how will you allow someone to deduct my balance . Moreover you never send me a message when balance gets deduced by these means .i have been a customer of BSNL for the last 8 years and I never had any bitter experience there all along . I migrated to Vodafone this March and right from that time I’m being facing these stupid issue
    This is my first step in resolving this issue . Make sure you do it here itself . I am planning to file a case in consumer court and this thread itself will serve as an evidence to sue you
    I will not rest until my issue is resolved

    I’m sure Vodafore either looting us or having technical problem. How can you charge for link download? I can see we have many such complaints and so far you are not clear on solution. Please fix this and refund money you charged so far.

    I hold unlimited data/ download plan, however I am charged with Rs: 147/- (for downloading d2c gossip)customer care advised, that it was downloaded by me. Its simply ridiculous and absurd to see such malpractices from vodafone. It is a fraud, I have no reason to visit those sites neither any pop up confirmed about the charges nor I agreed to any, how can vodafone charge me for this? Looking at the complaints it seems this fraud business is running from years. Wonder what Vodafone have to say.I will escalate to grivence need my money back and such sites should be block or should give a confirmation of the account holder before debiting any amount.

    Hello Vodafone team,
    I have been charged Rs. 99 for ‘hello1_tvallsouth_’ in current month bill. I never visited and downloaded this on my mobile. It seems that there may be some technical issue at Vodafone end. Please waive off the additional charges and resend the correct bill.

  207. My name is Syed Aman Ullah, my number is 7204433876. Vodafone has charged me with the same i.e d2c_mgossip_pack49 thrice in the same bill. I called up customer care & asked for a explanation. I told them that I dont even know what these charges are for because I havent activated any packs. Hypothetically speaking if I had(which I didnt) why would I activate 3 of the same packs in a month. They better have an explanation for this & get these charges reversed. I am on the verge of changing network.

    Hi,

    I’ve been continuously being charged by Vodafone for d2c_mgossip_pack49 as follows…

    Bill date – 11.06.2014 – INR 49
    Bill date – 11.07.2014 – INR 196
    Bill date – 11.08.2014 – INR 98
    Bill date – 11.9.2014 – INR 49
    Bill date – 11.10.2014 – INR 98
    Bill date – 11.11.2014 – INR 98
    Bill date – 11.12.2014 – INR 147

    Total – 735/-

    When i spoke to customer care team they have not been able to provide any justification for the above charges levied and have asked to send email to Vodafone for reversal.

    On searching the net came across this link https://consumerforums.in/fraud-vodafone-montly-billing where i released that i am not alone which is being treated with this by company of repute like Vodafone……

    If Vodafone guys are reading this, pl respect your credibility and reputation, else you’ll be losing for sure a customer with 10 years of loyalty and will make sure that all my friends and family using Vodafone will discontinue.

    Thanks,

    I am a Vodafone Postpaid Customer in Chennai using 3G data plan. Vodafone has charged me RS 49/- five times including in bill for downloading d2c_mgossip_pack49, a stuff which I had never downloaded. When I called their Customer Forum for explanation, they had no proper explanation. From past 3 months I am facing this issue. Every month I paid RS 200 /- extra money.It is not fare. Even the current bill they included Late Payment Charges. I paid all my bills. It is not at all fare. I saw lot of complaints regarding this. I hope Vodafone is looking at Root cause & addressing it.

    If I didn’t get proper response with in 24hrs, I am planning to switch Airtel network through MNP.

    Hello i’m sunil from bangalore, i have been charged for hello1_tvallsouth_ which i didnt opt. for and my number is 7829112346. i din’t get any proper explanation from the customer executives. please solve the problem.

  217. Hi,

    Even I am charged a strange amount of 276 for downloading following packs which I have never downloaded. As a matter of fact I never download anything on cellphone. I just use WhatsApp, GMail and sometimes access my Wipro mails. It is quite surprising that they have charged for these 5 packs (one has been charged twice!). I am not going to pay for something I never used and when I complaint to the customer care department they are telling me by mistake I might have clicked and downloaded something! As if I am a 4 years old child!

    My interaction number for the complaint is 1087716229.

    I suspect if Vodafone is doing this deliberately or their systems are out of whack. In my current bill, I have been charged a total of Rs. 228 extra for following downloads which I never made:
    29/11/14-19:54:11 wapvilla_ppd 0:00 99
    01/12/14-05:04:09 hello1_tvallsouth_ 0:00 30
    08/12/14-04:54:24 d2c_mydala_99 0:00 99

    I used to consider Vodafone as a consumer friendly brand but now they have started using cheap tricks to cheat their customers. This sort of mockery just taints your image and people will soon start turning to other MSPs.

    This happened in my last bill as well where Vodafone reimbursed the charges as a “service gesture”. What the hell! How is charging your customers wrongly in the first place and then reimbursing the amount a service gesture? Kindly get your act together Vodafone!

    another customer with same complaint and even I did ask for refund what I ask is please provide the site for which I have been charged but vodafone can not provide details but I need to make a payment. Worst thing customer care, they dnt have answer but a attitude

    Called customer care, guy who responded has a big attitude, per him charges are right and he can not provide details but I need to make payment as charges are always right. dnt know why he had so big attitude and does not understand that because of customer like me he has this job, if there is no answer atleast be courteous

    thereafter I wrote to corporate care to provide a response but its really hard for them to respond, can someone from vodafone let me know how to request for details for which I have been charged, my mail is pasted below

    after that I used the link (http://bit.ly/1rclSJ3) available on this forum to register compliant but no response in last 4 days.

    can someone from vodafone care to response

    After this exp and based upon various complaints on this forum, its does not seem to me that I can rely on 3G services provide by vodafone and would love to switch service provider,can someone suggest which service provider should I choose, I am in Delhi -NCR

    Hi Bibhuti,

    I am really disappointed to see that even you did not understand the question but was in so hurry to respond.
    My question is to provide details for what Rs 49 have been charged as bill does not provide any details for that, not for refund.
    in case you still do not understand, please call again and be flexible to call someone twice atleast when you do not pre-intimate for call time and also fail to provide a call back number.

    I have tried to call back couple of times on +91 2071003101 and this number does not work from vodafone SIM so I am not sure what do you expect from me when you dnt have time to call back.

    After looking at my bill details, i observed that rs. 49/- has been charged for d2c_mgossip_pack49, which i never downloaded and in fact i don’t even know what it is.
    Would appreciate the timely reply on this and same if for refund else i will think discontinuing the service.

  225. Hi,
    This time again the Vodafone has charged me with Rs 99 for the new package now
    “d2c_ndtv_valuepk_9”

    This is very frustating from Vodafone that everytime they are charging with some or the other package. Calling customer care is also frustating as they dont have proper justification of what the package is and how it is downloaded.

    As a matter of fact I never download anything on cellphone. I just use WhatsApp, Facebook, GMail and sometimes access my company emails. It is quite surprising that they have charged for the pack. I am not going to pay for something I never used.

    Kindly look into the matter. You can contact me on my cell number: 9922077445.

    Can you explain why?
    I have not initiated any download, also i have a active data pack. How can you cheat us with these cheap tricks.

    Without my authorization who can you deduct my money for some stupid site mobilart?

    I want my money back.. You cant charge me for this. I have seen many people having same issue and money have been reverted.

    I have been using vodafone no snce 5 years and my no is 9923600984.

    I have been charged Rs. 245 for downloading d2c_mgossip_pack49, 5 times in a month. also I have been getting charged since last 2 months for downloading same pack. after speaking to customer care getting answer as we are downloading chargeable content. I want to ask the question that If I am downloading any chargeable content then how come with out my authentication or asking me vodafone is charging for this…I even don’t know what kind of pack it is. I think vodafone is making fool to people by charging such kind of things. I have walked through vodafone shops and they are not even entertaining with out listing my complain they are saying call to customer care and customer care is also not giving proper explanation.

    I asked them that at least provide me website from which I have downloaded this content. but they are not able to provide.

    I am using this number since 5 years but I think it not worth of showing any loyalty with vodafone now..

    Now I am suggesting all my friends that don’t go for vodafone

    I have been charged with 99 rs. again for the application i have never downloaded.
    I am fed up calling customer care for the issue but they just know what to say what is written on their screen. This type of issue cant be seen in other operators like airtel, reliance. Do they have the option to not show chargeable links when doing browsing over the Internet o.O
    This happened in my last bill as well where Vodafone reimbursed the charges as a “service gesture”. How is charging your customers wrongly in the first place and then reimbursing the amount a service gesture?
    If it will go on like this i am not left with any choice except porting to other operator.
    I do not want this headache each and every month with customer care people.

    I also charged for some bloddy hello1_tv and d2c sites from last 3 months.. Just came into my knowledge after analyzing my bill because i was on roaming 149 Rs. plan with one 2g data pack and one 3g pack after it. So 1530/- Rs. is more than i expected for this months bill.

    I am a corporate Vodafone user having mobile no 8879787930. In my 1.1.15 bill(Bill no- 405116012015) vodafone charged Rs 392 towards 7 packs of d2c_mgossip_pack49 and 1 videos_sbits_2 pack. when i corresponded with customer care they are not agreeing and saying these are charged as actual. However I have never used such pack.
    kindly look into it pls.

    I am varun gagneja using mobile no. 9899185161

    Previous month i changed my category from individual to corporate, in process of changing in lieu of request i made, i received a message that your plan has been changed and after that i confirm by calling to customer care regarding the using the benefits, they said you can use the benefits of plan after 12 in midnight, in the plan it also have internet benefits, so i start using Internet benefits and also i started calling to CUG numbers. After 2 days when i self checked my plan by calling *111# the plan was not changed, and i again confirm with customer care he replied that your plan was not changed, because of misguide by your vodafone executive, i used internet and CUG calls in that period for which i was not in need.
    I request you to kindly waive of excess amount charged in the bill.

    Also about that misguidance one of  your vodafone executive accepts that your category was not changed at that time and it was all because of our mistake, so i request you take needful and reverse the excess amount charged in my bill

    Thanks

  247. Hi Vodafone,
    There is something very serious from your server end. this is continuous 4th Month I am getting ‘Fake download charges’ and this time also i got 3 d2c_mgossip_pack49 charges (Total 147/-).
    I’ve been calling customer care but there is no proper communication and clarification of the charges. as i can see this is not only happening with me rather thousands of other customers are facing this issue.
    Kindly look into this and wave off all charges.
    Thanks

    Kindly revert the charges which was charged extra(80/-) in Dec 2014 Bill.

    I am wondering why Vodafone is repeating this even after so many complaints listed here from years.
    You are absolutely wrong if you believe people blindly follow like “PUG”

    In my current bill for jan 2015, I could see charges of Rs.345 for no reason quoting some bulls**t names for downloads.

    Hello Vodafone team,
    I have been charged Rs. 297 for ‘some sort of downloads’ in my current monthly bill. I never visited and downloaded any chargeable content , moreover popups are also blocked in my browser. It seems that there may be some technical issue at Vodafone end. Please waive off the additional charges and resend the correct bill.
    Kindly revert back.

    Hi,

    IMy vodafone number is 9874055155. Ia m customer of vodafone since 2011. I havenot faced such kind of problem before, but last month statement I have charged for 99 rs in Dowload Usage section for downloading “d2c_ndtv_valuepk_9 “. Let me clarify that I havent downloaded any such thing and also it has charged on last day of my billing cycle. More than that in 6 days of my billing cycle I got unused bill of about 1600 Rs. This is not joke anymore. Kindly do something otherwise I have to use number portability service of any other operator.

    This is one kind of fraud and customer care are very rude as well as senior reprensentives. Please solve this ASAP.

    Vodafone is doing fraud month after month. This is the 3rd continuous month the Vodafone has charged me with Rs 49 for the package “d2c_mgossip_pack49″ twice. This is fraud on part of Vodafone. I have never authorized Vodafone for any such services. The customer care executive told me to google about this pack to know more and deactivate from my end only.

    It seems porting out is the only way out but would like to spread the message about Vodafone fraud.

    I have been charged errorneouly by vodafone for this code “Rs. 99.00 : DNLD D2C_MOBC_GANAK_PPU_99-MOBCLIXS”. Even the customer care reps are horrible and giving lame and un professional excuses of the deduction.
    Please refund my amount.

    Hello
    as im postpaid customer of vodafone postpaid mobile no. 9687960007, and im very happy with the vodafone services, but today i recive vodafond postpaid bill of 540,it show the downloads of 198 rs for paid services, i only download from the free site and never from paid one and it shows below download detail
    d2c ndtv valuepk_99
    d2c salparni lookatit ppu 99
    and i never activate that service and also not receive message of subsricption on my mobile. on complain sites many users complain about this services activate auto on their device also.so pls do the needful or im not gonna waste my money on that type of service and stop this connection.

  258. After reading all the complaints and what happened to me I wonder why such a company is allowed to operate in India.

    I have a deduction of Rs 75 for – DNLD-D2C_MOBC_GANAK_PPU_75_MOBCLIXS. I know neither Vodafone nor me and neither any of its customer know such a service.Still like others I have also been charged. And like others this time also the customer care didn’t know anything about this service.

    The customer care executive named Raj Dey was such a fool that he iignorantly or as directed by Vodafone replied to my query that I have downloaded from a paid site. How funny of Vodafone.

    My appeal to Vodafone is stop stealing customers penny and rrefund the deduction. To the customer care executive- stop being such an arrogant because u are getting salaries out of such stolen money. And to the common man and vodafone customers- stop using Vodafone network or services. They will learn the lesson only then.

    Hi All,

    I recently got my bill for January month and saw a download charge applied in it i.e. Rs. 49 even though I have not downloaded any such thing. I even don’t remember clicking any such paid links.
    Also, there is one GPRS charge (Rs. 43.10) added in my bill. What is that? Note, I hold unlimited internet plan as per TCS corporate.

    Kindly Look into this matter.

    My number is 9962518771… Please call and resolve asap…

    What we fail to understand is that inspire of so many complaints, the company doesn’t seem to be bothered to address this issue

  268. Hello vodafone users,
    Charging Download charges are 2nd income source for vodafone. So using vodafone & complaining is waste of time & waste of money also. Go ahead and port it.

    In my jan2015 bill i have been charged for d2c_mydala_99 4 times. I asked customer care, the said i would clicked some popup. I am asking without getting my conformation how com you can detect the amount. It is surly cheating, and vodafone allowing that cheating by detecting money from me. I going to change the service provider.
    You are playing according to mydala commission or this may be your back door for money looting. I telling you Vodafone High officials, One day Court going to slap you with huge fine. All your customers will move away eventually. When you realize about this cheating/mistake, you wont have any customers to ask sorry.

  270. Hi Vodafone Team,
    Its been understood based on the above complains that you have tieups with few website, who duped your customer based on their tricks and you charged exorbitant price to customer and divert (after keeping your share) the charges with them, otherwise how can any website opening will be chargeable to Vodafone billing. If you have tieups with certain website on charges for premium, then its your duty to be transparent with your customer.
    Even I have seen specific popups coming to Vodafone internet packs and there is no option to close the popup, then if you click there is charges on your bill. But if you access same site with another operator internet connection you will not get same chargeable popups. This is one example of cheating !!
    Just look at the complaints, are these people didn’t know how to surf on net or they are being duped by your malpractice and “behind the scene” arrange with some fraud kind of website to get hefty charges. Till now what kind of action you have taken for customer benefit? I am very much sure, on paper you can claim that you have taken several action but its not visible as per above customer complaints.

    FYI- I have already surrendered the Vodafone net connection, Guys just put the complain with TRAI also.

  271. Dear Friends,
    It is my experiance i am charged for last 3 months for unknown downloads.
    Surprisingly in Jan bill i am chagred Rs. 99 and Rs. 89 for down load of d2c_mydala_99 .
    One will be more surprised to know, the above charges are on same data/same time. i don’t know how is it possible.
    So it is sure they are cheating customers.
    I have writen to customer care, but no reply.

    I have been charged Rs. 149 for DNLD-WAP_ANIO149_PPU, ON 10-03-2015 This month . After speaking to customer care getting answer as we are downloading chargeable content. I want to ask the question that If I am downloading any chargeable content then how come with out my authentication or asking me vodafone is charging for this…I even don’t know what kind of pack it is . I call to customer care and they also not giving proper explanation.

    I asked them that at least provide me website from which I have downloaded this content. but they are not able to provide.
    But I searched in my browse history and finally got that web site name is
    “http://mazaa.mobi/s/home.php ”
    Block is site, in future
    I am using this number since 10 years
    How can I suggest to my friends to go for vodafone?

  273. Hi

    Despite of having my 3G plan activated; Vodafone charged me Rs.49 for activating Vvidia Plan where I did never opt for the said plan.
    May be after all this time Vodafone has finally found a new way to cheat customers.
    May be its time to change the network if this problem is not fixed n we are not refunded.

    Hi,

    My ac balance (rs 75) is deducted from 7407014748 number. The cause of deduction the balance is saying the customer care executives is download charge from a chargeable website. So I want the clarification about chargeable website. A foreign website how can be deduct money from mobile ac balance without user concern?

    What you guys are think we customers are fool?

    customer care executive does not have proper explanation but statement like “this is internet download charges and they do not have details for that”.
    When i asked about my current usage he said i have not even used half of my quota so;
    1. Without my permission how do i get subscribed.
    2. When i have free usage availability why additional charges for internet download
    3. What does it mean “monthly 1gb data download” pack.

    Can anyone from vodafone explain me.

    I am also facing the same issue.
    Vodafone has charged me a total of 80/- as Content Downloads for Value Added Services. And they have mentioned some download files which I never downloaded.
    When I called up the Customer Care, they said I might have clicked any link unknowingly hence it caused an extra charge.
    But I never did any download. Also they dont have a proper explanation to what they say.

    Please look into the issue.

    I am a Vodafone Postpaid Customer in Bangalore using New Talk Corporate 249 – STD Plan.
    Vodafone has charged me RS 150/- including in bill for downloading ‘d2c_acl_pchamp_store_ppu_150’, a stuff which I had never downloaded. When I called Customer Forum for explanation, they had no proper explanation. My contact no. is +919886313611
    I saw lot of complaints regarding this. I hope Vodafone is looking at Root cause & addressing it. Please revert back ASAP, since i need to pay the bill as today is due.
