I am Airtel retailer from Tamil Nadu. Today morning I have received a call from 9939923407 airtel number and that person claimed that he is calling from Airtel Mumbai office, asked about my e-recharge balance initially and told that I am eligible for Rs.2500 e-recharge bonus which will credited by Airtel Mumbai and this has no connection Airtel Tamilnadu. Then he had asked me to do a test transaction the below way to get my number registered with them.

I should go to e-recharge menu and easy charge -> Recharge -> customer number to be 9955742542 -> Amount has to be "01000", he mentioned by putting "0" before will not deduct any money from my e-recharge balance.

I have done the transaction (ID: 224815075) and 1000 rupees gone from my e-recharge account. He disconnected the call immediately.

Then I contacted retailer helpdesk 404 and registered a complaint with them and they told they will get back to me in a while but I haven't received any response so far. I even tried to get my money back through Wrong EC retrieval but 404 CC told it is not possible for other state numbers!

I want to take my hard earned money back some how from that fraud airtel number, could you please help me in this regard?

My details:
Name: Karthik Raja
Number: 9894880662 (Sim is registered in my dad's name P.Subramaniam)
