Dell India sends me a spammy SMS
The content:
Dear Cust, your system’s warranty is expires on 24-Oct-09. Kindly contact Dell @ 18004259047, Mon-Fri , with the S.Tag:B2CJ2BS for more information.
Well, I do own this laptop. Warranty has indeed expired. But that was way back in 2009. The laptop is currently lying useless at my place because of some issues in the display. I am not getting it fixed because of the high costs involved when you have to go through the official channel.
The problems with these SMS messages are several:
1. I never subscribed for such alerts from Dell.
2. The message does not really say what it is for.
3. The language is messy and has grammatical errors.
4. They want me to call them! I mean wtf.
5. And so on…
The message originated from LM-Dell. So I assume that they are sending it through Loop Mobile in Mumbai.
PS. I am facing some issues with the ultra expensive Dell LCD Monitor I have. But looking at the mess they have created in India, I am avoiding contacting them for this too.
