Hi Buddy is a cheating service and Airtel is a party to it. They advertised in the Times of India asking us if we will vote against corruption and for Anna Hazare" We were supposed to sms a certain number which i did. Immediately i got an sms saying that Rs. 15/- is being deducted because i "subscribed to Hi Buddy" to it. Later I saw the fine print --very tiny at the bottom of the ad mentioning the Rs. 15 and the deductable subscription. The ad was deliberately mischievous and misleading because apparently we were just supposed to vote for Lokpal Bill and against corruption. This was last month. Now again this month they have deducted Rs. 15/----it has become a monthly feature now. I am sure a Public Interest Litigation should be filed against Hi Buddy for cheating people; misusing and sabotaging a great cause. Airtel/ Hi Buddy, unsubscribe immediately!
