A message claiming Airtel, Jio, Vi free recharge for 3 months to celebrate 90-crore vaccinations is fake and a way for scammers to steal money from telecom customers.
Will you really be getting a free 3-month recharge from Jio, Airtel, and Vi because of record vaccinations in India? Despite the Omicron variant spreading fast and COVID infections each day crossing new highs in the third wave, the outbreak is still pretty much being kept under control with few deaths. The credit for this largely goes to the record vaccination figures the country has achieved lately. So far, about 90 crore people in India have got the COVID vaccine and more than 64 crore have received both doses of the vaccine. To “celebrate” this achievement, private telcos like Airtel, Vi, and Reliance Jio are said to be offering their users a free 3-month recharge. Sounds lucrative right? It sure does but it’s not true. Turns out the viral WhatsApp message claiming this free recharge is completely fake and a way to scam telecom subscribers.
