Vodafone charging fake download charges

Hi,

My name is Balamurugan and my vodafone number is 9176731991. I have been charged an additional download charges of 99 Rs. for the month of September towards downloading some fake application called shotformat_dwnlp_9 by Vodafone on 7th September. I have already raised a case with Vodafone customer care regarding this – Case number: 868833360. But they have told me that I have indeed downloaded an application which costs 99 Rs. This seems to be absolute bull shit from Vodafone. I know for sure that I didn’t download the application and also I am a tech savvy person and I also know for sure that my smart phone did not download anything in the background without my knowledge.

Every month I am having problems with these stupid Vodafone billing application and it kept charging me even 1000 rs a couple of months back. I have to fight with these brainless customer care agents every month to revert the charges. I am fed up with the service of Vodafone as it seems to be simply generating fake bills without any care for their customers. I have been using this connection for more than 3 years now and have emailed them more than 5 or 6 times to close this connection, after which they revert the charges and beg me to use their connection.

If this charge of 99 rs. + Taxes is not reverted withing 24 hours, I request you guys to close my connection immediately. I won’t be paying the fake bill that you have generated.

Thanks,
Balamurugan

    see this from that time when i started till today i using same see my usages,

    25/08/14-23:54:14 hungama.com_value_ 0:00 50,

    i have never ever started a caller tune srvices also in my whole 13 years of use of this service, from max to orange, orange to hutch and now hutch to vodafone, i have never started any service which i have to pay or i have been in any kind trouble so far, but now this is going over my head, now i think vodafone is just trying to make their tax money to pay by looting us in name of 3rd party service,
    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,,

  4. I was being charged for Vvidea video show pack for Rs.49 last night. .

    I didn’t activate that pack and Vodafone customer care are not giving refund. .
    They automatically activates services on your number and neglects they did it…

    Hate Vodafone for that. .
    Broke my sim card for Vodafone customer care being so rude to me when I called. .
