How Airtel Scammer deal with Customers

On 21th, April, 2018,

I charged 500 Rs. successfully by cash at shop in front of railway station Pune、India.

Because I wanted to use this amount for 499 Rs plan, 2GB/day 82days from MyAirtel apri.

But it was not possible to pay for it.

Charged money can be used only through Airtel money.

It was not possible to use Airtel Money for foreigner.

Airtel Money function is disable for foreigner.

So I claimed to Airtel shop in Pune.

Airtel shop in Pune

They said that Registering on Airtel money is not possible by Foreign Passport.

They did not allow this 500 Rs to use for buying 499 Rs service.

I asked them to refund this 500 Rs.

They run away.

In few days later, I claimed about it through twitter Airtel customer support.

Bellow is how Airtel responded, and finally run away.

I tried to use this amount for buying 499Rs plan, 2GB/day 82days from MyAirtel. But it failed. Because Airtel Money is blocking foreigner to register. This 500Rs is now frozen. Please refund this money, if not scammer.

You can not force customer to spend money for your profitable selected services. Customers have right to use recharged money for their own choice of Airtel services.

Airtel must provide some way to spend charged amount freely for every users including foreigner without discrimination.

As mentioned earlier, the combo recharges can not be done through main account balance. Further, usage of foreign cards/bank account is currently not available on the airtel payment bank. I'm still here, if you need further assistance. Thank you, Devashish
