[Resolved]  Reader's Digest — sweepstakes readers digest lottery gifts

i recieved a letter telling abt that i hv won a toyota corolla car and i want to know what i hv to do with these posts and should i send the money to subscribe for the book how to write and speak better

i received a letter as you have a chance to win gifts as per the instructions i sent the letter with positive reply and when will be the draw date...

For about a year and a half i am hearing about the sweepstakes.Is it only a advertising gimmick.even i was cheated out of a free travel bag along with the book.

For about a year and a more I was receiving documents as winner and getting monthly books, the sweepstakes.I was declared supreme winner and I dont find any more documents when I didnot accept books worth more than 500Rs - 1000Rs which is sent as free.Is it only a advertising gimmick.Even i was cheated out of a free travel bag along with the book.

A second subscription was requested to be delivered to our daughter at the following address, is being delivered at the original subscriber, that ids, at my address - thus making it useless. This is to please despatch it to her address s follows:
Gayathri S. Anchan, C-15, Anjana Building, Mahal;axmi Housing Society, Off Veeradesai Road, Andheri(W), Mumbai- 40058.
It is indeed a surprise how this company could repeatedly ignore the request of the subscriber for despatch of the gift subscription top thge to the subscriber himself, in repeat years at least since two years!
Solicit the favour of immediate corrective action with intimation to me via email.

Mr. Vikas Malhotra,
Sweepstakes Director.


I have been a subscriber for the past 4 years (ie., from 2005) in a row, only because the contents in the book are worthwhile reading and also gives good knowledge for elders as well as children.

From the last 4 years, I am getting these types of Certificate of Benefits, flyers etc., telling that you would be eligible for some prize or something if you would purchase some books or CD’s….… even you purchase or not. This looks something like cheating, as people who are in dire needs, though they need the book or not, subscribes and later repent.

Why does Readers Digest do these types of things????? Is it for publicity/fraud or is there some thing real? Readers Digest is supposed to be very authentic, but these types of things somehow dampen the good idea RD has in the minds of people.

As the book is good, people will subscribe automatically. Anyways, as I know the use of the book, I shall renew my subscription from July 2009.

Regards,

You people everybody getting lakhs of rupees even more than 1 crore and costly cars. So how many times Readers Digest company need to sell themselves?

i have been a reader of reader digest from 1985 onwards. i have spent nearly 30 to 40thousands rupees on your product over these years.i am also recieving the all sorts of benifits documents, flyers.cerificates of entry over the years promising prizes of various amount. and of various kinds, but not materializing.i hope that all this will not remain a distant dream and finally materilize.

Respected Sir,

I received a letter and printed cheques of Rs.11, 00, 00/-. and you told to send by return mail. I send by post. What about the status.

Thanking you sir,

Yours faithfully,
