Looks like @SonyElectronics @Sony are running a Ponzi Scheme selling defective products. Purchased a sound bar last year for 40K, it conked off in 7 months. Sony service repaired it, now it's conked off again with same fault. Now Sony expects me to pay 20K for repair. #fraud

@Cleartrip You had asked for 24-48 hours to resolve my query. It has now been over 86 hours and there is no response. What's happening @ayyappsraj ?

[Kapil @Kapilkaul]

Serious trouble with @Cleartrip. Asked them to cancel my ticket. They are offering a refund of 2K for a ticket that I paid 13.5K. Looks like they are running a #scam. What's happening @ayyappsraj ?

[Kapil @Kapilkaul]

@Cleartrip You are already past the deadline shared by you.
