A new pack of’new BRU instant with a slogan that sip and sms to get assured talktime upto Rs.50/- will be luring you in the racks of malls of Hyderabad. Even salesmen for this product lure you pin pointing this’free recharge upto 50/-’ and if your’destiny’ demands you may win a nice scooty pep absolutely FREE.
The procedure to be followed as per their canvassing is that-
on buying the pack(I brought a new BRU instant 100 gms.in a conical container at Big bazar of Ameerpet, Hyderabad on 26.7.09 for Rs.105/-Jar packed on 29/06/09 code B.M. with a bar code no.8 901030274152).
1.The sales people say there it is Rs.100/- only for this mrp of 105/-
2.When you shop some more items and pick this item to the counter for payment they say its rate is 105/- only and when asked their reply is that who fool told it is 100/-.
3.On buying this, as per the offer, you have to sms some bloody damn easy question like’what is better about new bru?" and what ever of A, B, C of the answers given there would be correct the fact of which you have to sms to them.
4.You will be receiving a reply sms THAN U FOR PARTICIPATING.PLS;SMS BRU AND THE UCN PRINTED ON UR BRU PACK TO 9731888888.E.G.-BRU 598732146 TO GET FREE MOBILE RECHARGE. ENJOY NEW BRU//SENDER TA-BRU"
Your will do accordingly by posting a9 digit ugly printed number on the slip kept in the bru pack.
Instantly a reply sms comes into your mobile. It is not a recharge as you expect, BUT like this:
"THANK YOU, BUT UCN IS INCORRECT. PLS SEND THE CORRECT 9 DIGIT UCN ON UR BRU PACK IN THIS FORMAT BRU 598732146, TO GET ASSURED RECHARGE.//SENDER: TA-BRU"
7.You will innocently resend an sms by cutting your pocket umpteen times.
- Their reply will be the same again and again goading you to send number of sms by ur mobile and you will be winding up in dissipation knowing that you lost around 50/- as sms charges instead of getting "upto 50/-" from BRU.
THIS IS REALLY AN UNETHICAL PRACTICE STOOPED TO UGLY LEVELS BY BRU AND IF ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO IS HAVING TIME AND MONEY CAN COMPLAIN AGAINST THIS PRACTICE UNDER MRTP ACT. SUCH FELLOWS SHOULD BE BANNED OUT OF THE CONSUMER INDUSTRY.
