Airtel Scam : Paid ₹1,500 for Airtel Xstream Fiber, KYC completed, DAF generated, OTP verified... now the sales representative has been avoiding us for over 24 hours. Need help
Please please help!!
Please please help!!
Hi everyone,
I'm posting this because my wife and I have had an extremely frustrating experience while applying for a new Airtel Xstream Fiber connection.
We registered for a new Wi-Fi connection using my wife's phone number. Shortly after, a local Airtel sales representative contacted us, collected all our KYC documents, and asked us to pay **₹1,500** towards the new connection.
After making the payment:
* We received an Airtel SMS confirming the **Digital Application Form (DAF)** had been created.
* We received an **OTP to activate the connection**, which the sales representative asked us to share, saying it was required to proceed with the installation.
* We shared the OTP, trusting that it was part of the normal activation process.
* We also received confirmation that our Wi-Fi ID had been created.
However, after some time, we received **another message asking us to pay ₹1,500 again**, which immediately raised concerns.
We tried calling the sales representative repeatedly, but he completely stopped responding.
It's now been **more than 24 hours**, and we have been continuously trying to reach him.
What's even more frustrating is that **when we call from our registered number, he doesn't answer. But when we call from a different number, he picks up immediately and keeps giving false assurances like:**
> "The engineer has already been assigned."
> "He'll reach your doorstep within one hour."
These promises have been repeated multiple times, yet **no engineer has ever arrived**, and nothing has happened.
At this point, we feel completely helpless. We depend on Wi-Fi for our daily work, and because of these repeated false commitments, we've wasted an entire day waiting.
I'm **not accusing Airtel as a company**, but this has been our experience with this particular sales representative, and it has seriously affected our trust in the process.
I have:
* ✅ Payment proof
* ✅ Airtel SMS confirming the DAF and activation
* ✅ Wi-Fi ID confirmation
* ✅ Screenshots of the sales representative's contact details
* ✅ Call history showing repeated attempts to contact him
Has anyone faced something similar?
* How did you get it resolved?
* Should I demand a refund?
* Is there any Airtel escalation team that actually responds?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Note: I've already tried contacting the representative multiple times without success.
