[Resolved]  BagItToday / Indiatodaybookclub — refund of money

Address:

Karnataka

I am furnishing below the details of e mail sent & received from indiatodaybookclub.
From the first day I have informed them that I have been foxed by them into booking a product & making payment for that & requested them to refund my money & then I will send back the parcel. But they are asking me to send the parcel now to process the refund claim. I have no faith in the company.I fear I send back the parcel I will left with nothing - neither the parcel nor money.

Please register my complaint & resolve.

Hello,
I had already informed in the first instance itself in my e mail dated
Tuesday, June 29, 2010 9:56 PM that I will send the parcel back after I receive the refund amount. When you expect your customers to pay the money first before receiving the parcel, is it not fair that I expect you to refund the money before I send back the parcel, especiaaly since the product was sent to me despite my requests to cancel the order. Moreover, I do not have faith in your organisation that once I return the parcel I will be refunded money, in which case I will lose both the product & my money. So, I request you kindly arrange for refund of money before I send back the parcel.
Thank you,
Sooryanarayana Rao

Hello,

I have already infomrd you over & over again that I do not want any offers/coupons from you. You please keep it for yourselves. I am reiterating what i have already informed over phone & over e mail that I have no faith whatsoever in your club. I was made to book a product which I did n't want to book in the first place. As you would have seen i had requested for cancellation of the booking & refund of money on the very same day by writing mail to [protected]@intoday.com; [protected]@intoday.com; sunil.[protected]@intoday.com; but nobody responded. I did not know the e amil address to which i should have requestd for cancellation. Later when Mr Bhupendra caled me again also i told him in clear terms to cancel my booking, then he told me to contact helpline number. When i contacted the helpline no. i was told that I can send mail after receiving the parcel ( as the same was already despatched)

please do not try to convince me to continue. Please understand that I have no time to waste writing to you & calllling you up again & again. So please do not waste my time & money. & arange to refund the money at the earliest.

Hello,

Thank you for responding to my mail. After what has happeaned ever since I ordered for a reebok sunglass in March 10, (after a lot of remainders and complaints including one to consumercomplaints.com, I received my money refunded on 17.6.10) and the way I was fooled by mr Bhupendra into beliving that no actual booking would be done (when i had actaully told him repeatedly that i don't want to pay any money or book any product,) I have lost faith in your club & just want to get my money back. I have cancelled my credit card also. Hence, please arrange to refund & credit it to my ICICI bank account at athe eearliest. aftere which i will send your product back to you( I have not opened the parcel)

Please let me know the details.

Thanking you

Dear Sir/Madam,



Iam a member of your bagit today club. I received a phone call on my mobile no.[protected] from indiatodaybook club on 15.06.2010. The person introduced himself as Bhupendra from indiatoday bookclub. The no from which i received the call is [protected].He was speaking in broken english. IHe told me that as a priviledged member i have been selected for gold box price wirth Rs, 1,10,000/-. He told me that I was one of the 3 selected from all over India for the prize. He then told me book for a product to get a booking ID which will be used fro reference when his senior calls for confirming my details. He told me that there are two products - one samsung comcorder worth some 11,000+ & one sony mobile camera worth Rs. 19,498/-. He told me that I need to give option to book one of these to generate a booking ID for which, I told him repeatedly that I don't want to receive any offer or book any product in order to receive any prize. He persisted and told me again and again that it is just to get a booking Id and there will not be any actual booking. He asked for credit card no.for which I told him that I will not divulge the same on phone. He informed that I needn not give the details orally but just need to feed it on my mobile which willl be recorded by a computer to generate a booking ID. On being assured that I will not be charged anything for the booking I was asked by a recorded system to feed the details of my credit card. I was given a booking no.-[protected] and was told that i will be contacted by his senior to verify my details.

To my uttter surprise I got a message from ICICI bank saying that I have been credited Rs.19,498/- on my card on the account of living media india ltd. I tried to contact the [protected] and ask why he had cheated me. But I couldnot. Later, i contacyted ICICI bank and informed them about the fraud by indiatodaybook club. They informed me to cancel the booking and when I told them that i was notr able to contact the phone no.of the person who played a trick on me I was told to cancel my credit card immediately so that the transaction does not materialise. i consented for that. But i later received a statement from the bank which shows a credit of Rs,19,498/- towards payment to living mediaindia ltd. Delhi . On contacting mthe ICICi bank they told me that as the transaction was already over they could not get it cancelled and asked me to contact living media india ltd. to cancel the booking and ask for refund.

The transaction Id is -380794. Merchant name - Living Media India Ltd. - merchant ID - 4519.



In view of the above facts, I request you to please llok into the matter and please cancel the booking and refund the amount of Rs. 19,498/-

hoping for a prompt respons from you
