Nice Trick to Cheat you into buying a New Modem
Last month I got a call in my home landline phone, there was a lady at the other end who told me “we are talking from BSNL, can you please check whether your broadband is working correctly?” So immediately went to my computer room, switch on my computer and checked for the internet connection, it was working fine.
I told her the internet is working fine, there is no problem with the connection. She then continued “Your modem is really slow, we are getting a lot of complaint lately from our customers, so we got an order recently to replace the modems of our clients, this new modem will be three times faster than your old one, so you will get amazing download speeds, price of this new modem is Rs.2,900, we can exchange it for your existing modem with price reduction of Rs.300, so you just need to pay Rs.2,600″
I got a little suspicious, so I asked her “Usually BSNL deducts these expenses from their bills is it not?” She answered “Yes, it was before, now we have changed this method, you can pay our representative via cash or check whichever is convenient for you”
After a while I got a call from someone claiming to be a representative of BSNL, he asked for directions to our home, I told him to bring BSNL ID card with him before visiting my home, he told me that he is a new employee and ID card would be issued to him only after three months, then I told him send someone with an ID card, he immediately hung up on me.
Then I went to my nearby BSNL office and inquired about this new modem scheme, they told me, they do not have such schemes and the call must have been from someone trying to cheat me.
If you ever get such calls from internet providers, kindly double check the authenticity of these calls, before proceeding any further.
