BEWARE OF THESE BANKS
Looking at the rising complaints against ICICI Bank, Citibank, SBI Cards, and ABN Amro Bank, we request consumers to properly read their documents and keep a record when dealing with these banks, especially regarding credit card and housing loan. These banks are biggest defaulters and do not resolve consumer problems easily. Be aware of their terms in writing. Keep a perfect record of all correspondence with them. If they do not agree to written communication, immediately stop their services.

BEWARE OF NOKIA
Nokia assures that their handset is covered under insurance. They even provide a certificate of insurance. But the condition is that if the handset is lost/stolen, you have to lodge an FIR to seek claims. The catch here is that the police station does not lodge FIR for loss of handsets, they only register NC. So you will never get insurance claims on basis of NC.
Nokia is selling some of its degraded products that have software problems. If you come across such problem in a new set, do not waste your time in running around service centres as it is not going to help much, ask for a replacement with a new set.
DO NOT BUY NOKIA 6260
.
BEWARE OF
AIR DECCAN Their confirmed bookings are highly unreliable and of no guarantee that u will be allowed to fly. The booked tickets get cancelled without intimation to consumer only to be known by him when he goes to the airport to catch his flight.
.
BEWARE OF
COUNTRY CLUB, BANGALORE They advertise that if you take their membership, a plot of land will be given free of cost near Golden Spa at Coconut Grove. Please note Golden Spa is 35 Kns from Bangalore and the said plot of land is over 100 Kms from Bangalore. Based on false promises and with arrangement with Citibank and ICICI Bank, this team cheats the consumers of his money by asking payments through credit card.
.
BEWARE OF KENYA STAR TEA
They advertise in Economic Times and local newspapers luring people to start TEA business by investing Rs. 10,000. Once you invest Rs. 10,000, you will be asked another 7,000. Then you will be asked to make 4-5 agents and collect Rs. 5,000 from each of them and send to to the Kenya Star Tea. Their people operate in various cities for few days, and then immediately change cities and telephone numbers. File a police complaint as soon as you locate any Kenya Star Tea agent or inform us. Contact Mr. G. Sitaraman on 059-26585709 for his experience with these people.
.
BOOK TELESALES & RECOVERY AGENTS If you receive unwanted advertisement / telemarketing call from any company or recovery agents. Ask their telephone number and report to the police. File a police complaint against the Chairman of the company.
.
BEWARE OF
TATAINDICOM BROADBAND Their promises to get you a broadband connection within a week is not to be relied upon. Once your money is stuck (about Rs. 2000), it takes lot of pains to recover it back.
