[Resolved] 100Bestbuy.com — stay away from this misleading company | |||
Sir/Madam I joined 100 Best Buy on First week of August 2013 through a contest and deposited Rs.399/. On 7th Aug I received a call from 100 Best Buy executive, he told that I am amongst the shortlisted 15 winners of the contest; but only 13 will be given the prize. To be amongst 13 you have to choose a 100% free gift amongst four which can be seen at website immediately and convey your choice now. After asking my choice he told that you have to pay the price of the free gift but it will be just a deposit with 100 Best Buy and If you win the contest than only Rs 399/- contest money will be used with it you will owe the free gift of Rs 7999/ and your Rs. 7999/- will still be kept with us as credit points and any time you can use it for purchase any item of your choice. But if you are not a winner then your free gift will be still yours and your total points 8398/- (399+7999) could be used by you for any purchase of your choice. As it was suspected I was not amongst 13 winner out of 15 shortlisted. But no call was received from 100 Best Buy for this. After receiving free gift of 7999/- which was not of that worth i.e. 'Ambrane mini laptop' and combined with a useless keyboard and watch, not functioning, . I tried to purchase the item from the website on 2nd Oct than on Dussehra than on Diwali but of no use after several mails and unanswered (as promised that -- our executive will soon contact you) calls I came to know that there are some terms that I can not use my whole amount 1. with an item in offer, 2. I can not use my money kept with 100 Best Buy (They are using it since august 2013) since 4-5 months. Because It permits to use only10% i.e. Rs 840/ at maximum. Thus I found that How intelligently I am cheated by 100 Best Buy. My money (earned with honest hard work) Rs. 8398/- is in reserve for use but I can not use it as I wish and if I do than I have to spend Rs. 50000/- (Fifty Thousand) minimum and in several installments than I can get back my money. Now my request is:- 1. 100 Best Buy should give right to use my money as whole as I want in single purchase. Yet If my choice is beyond Rs. 8398/- than I will pay the excess over Rs. 8398/- through credit card. 2. There should not be any limitation on purchasing the items of my choice. Because items kept for selling are part of sale and any offer given on them is just a promotional step and of discount scheme again which is to increase sale and attract customer. It is not an mercy or free gift to customer. 3. The company 100 Best Buy should return my Money Rs. 8398/- competely. through money transfer/NEFT/Draft/Cheque etc. 4. Further I am not asking for compensation for the trouble, stress and suffering I had during September, October, November and December 2013. Where I wanted to gift some thing to my spouse on her Birth day (Oct) My Brothers B'day, (Oct)My Birthday (Nov), My Marriage anniversary and My Daughters Birthday(Dec) and Dussehra, Diwali. Further "the 100 best buy had responded on Complaints Forum that due to the courier problem the product is not delivered at me; is not true" Vinod KumarMishra Was this information helpful? | |||
