[Resolved]  India Today Book Club — Non receipt of free gifts

I have paid in full the amount Rs. 1099 in cash for which I was supposed to have been given 8 Music CDs produced by Music India, one Reebok T-shirt and One Bag. I received the Cds on 27th March. I tried to log on to the website intimated by India Today group www.bookstoday.in/promos.htm, but could not. I tried calling teh land line number[protected] and was told the website is out of order and till the website is restored nothing can be done about the free gifts. I have been given a number but if the claim is not made within two months the claim is automatically invalidated. What can I do?

Living Media India Ltd — non receipt of books

Dear,

I had ordered a set of books on 16/07/08. The pymnts was of rs 574/- through credit card.

My Name - Chinar Redkar
Credit card - HSBC
Address - Sovereign, 502, Rd4, central Avenue, Kalyaninagar, Pune -06.

It has been a month but I have no communication from the co. regarding the delivery of my books with a free gift of 3 CD's, a set of tupperware & a diamond set.

It is extremely shameful that the such marketing strtegies which dupe people of their money are carried out.

I think The co should refund my money or just give me the delivery of my books.

Thanks & regards
Chinar redkar
This is the third time I am complaining regarding the non receipt of CD's & the gifts. I have been robbed of Rs 574/-
You all are making lot of money duping people of their money.

For having purchased books/CDs I was offered free gifts and was advised to log on to the web sites http://offers.indiatodaybookclub.com/greatoffers.htm
& http://offers.indiatodaybookclub.com/offers.htm wherein I was directed to furnish requested details viz.Unique Code, ITBC Membership No, Invoice No & Email.
Despite of furnishing all details( Unique Code:[protected]A[protected], ITBC Membership No:.0GA[protected], Invoice No: ORA[protected], Email :[protected]@canbank.co.in) the site is throwing the error please fill in correct details. The same was brought to their notice and I was advised to log in after 48 hours. Even after 48 hours despite of several attempts the result was the same. I sent several mails to them including to their executives in this regard but I didn't hear any response from them. They are deceiving the members by prompting gifts offers.

Once they come to know of your credit card details they are debiting your card without your consent for the books/CDs which we have not purchased/received and duping the members.

Please any body can guide me/public how to prevent such acts and expose them for their dubious acts and punish for cheating the public.

I had registered for Rs.60 lacs sweepstake entry on the mail received from [protected]@irctc.co.in. Thereafter I got a mail from India Today Book Club (ITBC) for successful registration in the sweepstake entry with passcode.

Thereafter I got a phone call from ITBC offering 20 devotional CD's @Rs.2249. In return they have informed the following freebies worth Rs.14000/- would be provided alogwith the CD's :

1. Reebok Shoes (they have taken my shoe size)
2. Voucher worth Rs.7000 for air travel in India.
3. Holiday voucher for Rs.5000
4. 1 key chain
5. 1 leather purse.

Today I have received vide their invoice no.ORA[protected] only the CD's, key cahin and purse whereas all other things as above have not been received.

On speaking to them they have informed to log on their website bookstoday.in/promos.htm and claim free gifts by mentioning the unique identification number.

Unfortunately after trying several times it is not being logged and shows error in the identification number.

ITBC have failed in their commitments and have failed to deliver the freebies and now are giving excuse of logging on their sites for claiming the gifts. It is misleading and people are fooled after they have made the payment.

The matter is to be taken up seriously with them and ensure they fulfil their committments or pay the money back to me alonwith penalty and fine so that such things are not repeated in future.
