[Resolved]  India Today Book Club — fraud

Sir/Madam,

I have ordered for one the scheam from tis site and upto now I didn't get my product. It is more than 50 days. No one is replying the phone or mails.

So, please do do the need full to stop this forgery.

Thanks

fraud they use the india today name and it seems that they are not from india today

This book club sends fraud tempting offers, e.g. discount on purchase of Swatch watch and free UCB watch with the same offer, through reputed email id like [protected]@irctc.co.in, its completely fraud and falls in the ambit of cuber crime. Kindly take some action in this case, anyways I m reporting this Hyderabad Cyber Crime Cell.

I got a call from INDIA TODAY BOOK CLUB saying that i had won lottery of Rs.3.75 lakhs. As i have done purchases from this company earlier i came into their words. So, to claim those amount they asked my to make a purchase of Rs.29000/-
And for that 29000/- they said that i'll be recieving watches-2 no.s, dinner set -1 no. and one diamond gift voucher. But i only got the 2 watches not any other things. When i called them back they are saying that my order was of 2 watches one diamond gift voucher and one holiday voucher. And they are not providing the address of the office to visit personally, just hanging up the call.
My BILL NO: ORA[protected]TS

I do not wish to address this mail with any salutaion and hence pls excuse me for being curt, rude and straight

This is shameless and completely unacceptable that a book club of your repute and stature is employing qualified thieves, liars and .
I wish to place on record the conversation that happened with my husband Mr Sanjeev Kumar Julka on 02.03.10, the call came from the number 45188600 informing him about his being selected as one of the top 15 names who are being rewarded by the book club. Upon detailed disucssion it came to light that if the customer buys any two products he would be ASSURED OF A CHEQUE WORTH RS1 LAC from the club. To this the customer asked as to how come the company is offering such a big amount without any reason and the girl on the other side promptly and confidently replied that pls don't doubt or worry it is actually true. She also confirmed that after placing the order my husband would be receiving a confirmation mail on his mail id regarding the same which obviously did not arrive even the next day. To this my husband callend on the call c entre number PH No 40502424 and naratted the whole incident and a staff confirmed that there is no such scheme going on and this is a lie. Please note that the order nos given were[protected] amd[protected]. My husband was totally shocked and horrified that the amount had been debited from his credit card and he had been duped he immediately placed the cancellation on 03.03.10 and the nos given were 392083 and 392067. The call centre informed that the money would be returned after 21 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. It took two seconds to debit the amount and is taking 21 days for you to return a money that was taken by your fraud employee.

I am not writing anything else but a copy of this is being sent to the crime branch of CBI to investigate and round up the fraudster calling. I will make sure that the guilty are punished and dragged to the court of law for making a fool out of people who trust and are loyal customers. Pls do not try to send me any free gifts to close this call since this matter is going to be brought to the notice of many such authorities including the consurmer forum. I am agitated and aggrevied at this and demand immediate return of my money and the organisation must deal with such employees very stirctly and harshly.


Thanks and Regards,
Rupali Julka

i was a member of india today chor club, i kept ordering reebok kits and other small items from their website. one day i received a call from them, they telling me tht i have won 3.5 lakhs in their sweepstakes and made me transact over 80000 in 3 different ivr transactions.. then they shifted the date of sweepstakes from may to june, so i called up customer care and they told me tht no winners have been decided, whtever the sales agent are saying is wrong.. i cancelled all my porders number of times on phone as well as email, yet i had to refuse the delivery at my doorstep.. its been 4 months since i have been waiting for my refund and despite my numerous calls, i have recieved nothing.. i am making calls to numbers i am finding from internet to people like me who have been duped by living media to start an agitation on a wider scale and take them to court as well as various media channels so people can understand wht malpractices they are doing.. at the time when i am writing this article.. i have found 6 people who are willing to join hand.

Yes I agree Nishant...Thay are really a bunch of ras.als out there..People easily get duped by the brand name. By the time we realise its too late...Greediness is human tendency and we easily fall prey to the gimmics these guys play...I am not sure ..unless we get help from a strong media support to educate pople I am not sure how to stop these guys...( by the by I am one of the victims ). - Mukund.

Dear Sir, I am requesting your intervention in one of the frauds from India Today Book Club which has resulted me in spending @30K for purchasing some items after which I will be getting the winning amount of @3.75 Lacs. I havent received any amount and the product received is of very bad quality. After repeated enquiries and emails, I have not received any satisfactory response even after informing them about me going to consumer forum. They are not even giving me the contact information of person who has given me these promises of wining amount nor anyone calling me to discuss.

Here is the excert from my communication with the India Today Book Club representatives.

Dear Sir,

Pls find the details as requested.

1. Order No. - OGA[protected] Philips Portable DVD Player - Rs. 7498/-
2. Order No. - OGA[protected] Aiptech Camcorder DVT9 - Rs. 7498/-
3. Order No. - OGA[protected] Whirlpool Microwave 25L Grill - Rs. 7098/-
4. Order No. - 0GA[protected] Philips Home Theater & DVD Player - Rs. 7598/-

Commitment given by Sweepstakes Team from India Today Book Club Mr. Mohit Kumar was that I am the winner & winning amount is Rs. 3,75,000/-. To avoid paying for the tax on winning amount I had to procure items worth Rs. 29,000/- plus and once the transactions are completed I would be receiving the email from India Today Book Club on 23rd June with some attachment which I need to fill and send back. Post which they will dispatch the cheque for the winning amount to my residence address (can expect this around 30th June) and I can then deposit that cheque with the bank along with the document that India Today Book Club will send to avoid tax on the winning amount.


After much discussions/arguments and later considering the Brand name of India Today Book Club, I decided to go for transactions as per requirements. After all the transactions he has confirmed that my profile is all complete now and he personally will process this for next actions and I should wait for the email from your team and act on the email once received, which I can expect to receive on my email address by 23rd June.
