Upstox is a privacy nightmare

[afin]

Dont ever trust anything with Upstox. I am planning to now shut my account down and also lodge a formal complaint.

I took a dedicated sim for trading only because i get too many calls on my regular num.

I updated my phone number in upstox records accordingly and ever since then I am swamped with calls and smses from "research" and "advisory" companies.

Pretty pretty sure there has been a leak and that too from upstox side. I am getting super pissed at these morons for trusting them with my info. There was no way my num should be leaked to any advisory. I hate those buggers and do all I can to avoid them like the bubonic plague.

This is a rant but it can't get my privacy back. Shame on you!

Lol. Google is ubiquitous but atleast they do it with some decorum. These buggers are blatant and without shame.

i was viewing rummy tamil movie scenes on youtube. then i started getting ads for playrummyonline. i will still give the benefit of doubt to upstox. what is the point in giving your number to competition or rather to companies in affiliated trades.

i did not mean any offence, the minute i started using google services, i should forget the word called privacy, IMHO.

No offence taken at all

The companies in question are dubious "assured 100% jackpot" companies that promise 100% return.

I am 100% sure it was leaked from broker's side , not google or any other service. Me too regularly get phone calls and 2-3 SMS ( jackpot call or penny stocks) on daily basis on my number registered with broker but not on my other numbers. all these calls are from indore. There is already a similar thread opened by some dukhi member.

Relax people.....
why should you feel hurt....when a husky voice enquires your financial well being.
My trading account is funded with Rs.4000, I always worry how can I pay them Rs.10000 per month.
They advice you to increase your fund. Who can think better of you than them? Has anyone from your near and dear ones asked you about your losses or profits. Can you atleast openly discussed these issues with them.
Here comes Indore people handy to share your true results with them. You can discuss with them freely and let your vaccum clear up.

Now, I find a relaxing technique. I tell them call me after 5 PM as I am busy trading.
When I get call at 5 PM, I engage them to their satisfaction for about an hour.
Finally I tell them I would have subscribed had it not been for unemployment or misery.
