A press note from Vodafone,India says, people get missed calls
from international numbers and out of curiosity, they calls back. Then
you are charged a huge amount in your account. Telecom operator Vodafone has
warned its customers to think twice before responding to such “missed
calls.’
The operator has been witnessing cases wherein people get missed
calls from international numbers and when the user calls back they are
charged a huge amount for the call. A Vodafone representative said people
in Uttar Pradesh were getting such calls yesterday and today people in
Tamil Nadu are receiving these unsolicited calls on mobile phones.
Vodafone said it is investigating the matter.
"Some Vodafone customers in Tamil Nadu have been receiving missed
calls from international numbers lately. We would like to inform all our
customers in Tamil Nadu that this issue has been brought to our notice
and we are currently investigating the same," Vodafone India said in a
statement.
The company has also asked its over 140 million subscribers in the
country to ignore such calls. "We would like to urge our customers to
kindly ignore such calls and not call back on those numbers. In case a
customer gets such a call, we request them to call the customer care and
report the number to us," it said.
"We want to assure our customers that security is our highest
priority. Vodafone takes the safety and security very seriously and we
have invested considerable resources to continually evolve our system
and improve security," the statement added.
Note: Some Airtel custumors too received such calls!
