[Resolved]  India Today Book Club Sweepstakes Offer — Is it reliable

Hi

I got a mail IRCTC and India Today Book Club (ITBC) stating that there's gonna be a draw which will win me prizes if luck clicks.

I've signed in and ordered the offers (which includes a tour package, an adidas bag and few books) worth 500.

I would like to if there's something like "ITBC" really exists and is the lucky draw gonna happen for sure?

The doubt arouse cos the prize amount were a little high.

Cheers
Eddy

Hi,

I have received a similar mail from 123Greetings and I am even not willing to click on any link as it might have a virus embedded with it... But it would be great if someone can confirm if it is fake or not. If it is fake, I am not surprised. If it is not, I am and I dont want to lose a chance like this... ;o)

Please let me know.

India Today sunscription offers are bogus. 5yr ago I subscribed for India Today magazine with assued gifts of a camera anda telephone.

They send a camera and a Telephone. Both of which did not work for a single day.
I sent complain but in vein.
So i think this swapstake offers are bogus.
India Today is a very good magazine. I donot know why are they are taking such wrong way to increase subscription.
Thanking you

money is very much sought after these days and this the traders/business/market [censored]hs seem to take advantage whatsoever. there must be a law to catch them too an to be enforced too. especially through e-mails
Hiii

my email id chandru.[protected]@gmail.com
I received a SMS in my mobile stated that "U r declared Winner for Free Gift Voucher of Rs. 3301 Reserved for u at www.bookstoday.in/win/SUJA or check ur email. Limited Validity!" from Book Club. After visiting the said address I saw this - "Rs 3301 off on Swatch Irony Chrono Black Watch
worth Rs 6300 for the winners only" IS IT FAKE OR TRUE
Subject: Highly Unprofessional attitude of India Today Book Club.

Just to give a brief anout my membership:
a) ITBC Membership No. - ITBC08601595
b) Invoice No. - ORA[protected]

To update till date I haven't received the "Free Adidas Bag" that was there in the offer. On calling the Cust care, they stated that it was out of stock and so the delay. Such a big company and sort of comments from Cust care is not expected at all. I hope my VOC would certainly help the top managment get an air of the things happening.

Moreover in the offer there was a CD "ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA STUDENT LIBRARY'. It was not opening. I was told by Cust Care to return the same so that it can replaced. But till date there is no response.

Please take it very seriously.

India Today — India Today Book Club Sweepstakes

As per the offer flashed on irctc.com, I opted for India Today bookclub offer relying on the India Today brand. I received the set of encyclopaedia towards the payment of Rs. 574/-.

Further, I've been receiving only SMS's about the privilege voucher number and related things but I haven't received any of the free prizes or vouchers till date. The URL path mentioned in the SMS is invalid as well.

Pls do the needful and take immediate action
Why i should not be going for fraud case against ITBC incourt of law?
