I reported these messages to TRAI through TRAI DND app and i got the reply from airtel that no action have been taken as these messages are not promotional messages
Same. I too had reported to TRAI and SEBI. Received the same response from TRAI. Haven’t heard from SEBI yet. Blocking on Truecaller is the only rescue so far.
Hi ,
Today i got call from a company and lady asked me , " are you trading ?" when i said ,“no” she specifically told me that i have data that you traded with these these shares few days back . When i asked how did she get this data then immediatly she disconnected it .
I dont have any account in any other demant account and only trade with zerodha . i am suprized how did this info reached to them ?
After opening my account at Zerodha I’m constantly getting promotional emails and calls especially from Bangalore location.
Its has nothing to do with Zerodha.
The more you Goes in to digital world it’s start.
On an Average I get 30-40 Promotional E-mails.

FIRSTLY, At the right price everything is for sale.
SECONDLY, Have you signed up for free news letters, webinars, trade signals, tips, strategies etc etc ?

People do all silly things and blame it on the Broker.
Also, allegedly all the Aadhar details were sold at discount rates of 500 Rupees at Chandhi Chowk, Khan Market and Burma Bazar. With just the email address available publicly on Forums and YouTube comments, its easy for unregulated marketing companies to do a reverse search and get your mobile number , DOB etc attached to this email address.
Still a Trader keeps wondering how they get these messages and calls.
BE WISE and TRADE WISE.
Here’s the solution that worked for me.
I am with AirTel, and started receiving 6-7 messages each day with such stock tips.
Being on DND registry, I raised a (written) complain to [email protected]. They asked for screenshots which I promptly provided. Took 3 follow-ups over 13 days, and a warning to escalate it to Nodal officer and to TRAI which solved the problem.
Try it if you are with AirTel.
Hope this helps.

The same thing on Forceful Advisory started with me just after I opened my account with Zerodha. Definitely there is some one in Zerodha who has been leaking customers’ data.
Nitin Bro- You should take utmost care to protect the interest of your customers otherwise time will come many or all of your customers will start leaving you. Hope a reaction from NITIN Bro in this regard.

Zerodha has nothing to do with this. I am receiving these sms way before opening an a/c with zerodha. I strongly believe the data is leaked from exchanges and not brokers.
How to stop the unsolicited stock tips SMSes? well, Bro, it can stop if somehow FM Arun Jaitley’s mobile number get into their database! 
Even I am also getting flood of SMS for investment…we do agree Zeroadd can’t leak.but at the same time you can’t wash your hands saying that’s not your responsibility…why don’t you take this issue with nsel , saying your customers are complaining about leakage of there contact number which you have submitted to NSEL.
Looks like the entire Stock Market Operators in India are after you money.
Keep tying this solution, It worked for me after about a month. No SPAM messages since last 2 months.
Update, The regulators have now taken this issue seriously.

The best way to stop this is by reporting this to TRAI and NSE.

DND registration (now NCPR) helps you to stop receiving unsolicited/ unwanted commercial and promotional calls and messages on your phone. Even if you registered for DND, sometimes you will receive commercial / unwanted calls and messages on your phone. If so, you can register a complaint with your mobile operator.
Important note before compliant
You have to register a compliant from the mobile or land-line number; you received unwanted / unsolicited calls or message.
Within three days of receipt of the unwanted / unsolicited commercial or promotional calls or messages, you should give a compliant.
Registration of DND complaint by SMS to 1909
To register a complaint for receiving an unwanted / unsolicited communication, send SMS to 1909 in the below format:-
COMP TEL NO XXXXXXXXXX, dd/mm/yy, Time hh:mm
XXXXXXXXXX should be replaced by the telephone number or message header of the unsolicited call or message you received on your phone. You will be receiving an SMS confirming your complaint registration with unique compliant number and within 7 days of the complaint, you will be informed of the action taken on your complaint.
Check the below two examples:-
Example 1): You have received an SMS from DM-IAMU on 30th Sep’11 at 2pm. Then your complaint SMS will be “COMP TEL NO DM-IAMU, 30/09/11, Time 14:00” and send it to 1909.
Example 2): You have received an SMS / call from 9123456789 on 1st Oct’11 at 11.35am. Then your complaint SMS will be “COMP TEL NO 9123456789, 01/10/11, Time 11:35” and send it to 1909.
Registration of DND complaint through voice call to 1909
Dial 1909 from your mobile and choose to speak with customer care executive to register a complaint for receiving unwanted /unsolicited commercial SMS or call on your phone, even you registered for DND (now NCPR).
Provide the below details of the unsolicited call or message to customer care executive:-
Company / Brand / Telemarketer details
Telephone number or the SMS header of the call / message you received
The date and time of the call
And, description of the call or the message
Then the customer care executive will register a complaint and provide a unique compliant number, keep the number for future reference. Within 7 days of the compliant, you will be informed about the action taken.
NSE has launched a new number to report SMS tips. Report via SMS on 91-8291833676.
Bro i have solution i also irritating. and find this trick. dont forgot to say thanks
Even i used to get daily 5-10 sms only after opening account with zerodha . And there was even no number in the messages. So i called my mobile operators and told him the whole incident. I don’t know how but he blocked all the marketing messages so i recommend you call your mobile operator.
lots of spam sms coming… my shit… dont you have blocked sms features on your i-phones … who cares zerodha is selling clients details or not… just i am concerned about bracket order in MCX.
if you want profit just do opposite of what tip provider tells you
indore based stock tip advisors have been harrassing me.Is there a way to stop them from contacting me? I am fed up of their calls and sms’es-totally unwanted.
