[Resolved]  Gold Safe / NDTV Imagine — complete fraud programme

I completely agree...please stop airing this fake programme on TV. They make hell lot of money by cheating people. The strategy is to show a very well known face which even a child can recognize and then make their own people to call and tell some rubbish name. by doing this they attract innocent people to participate on this programme. General people have no idea how much money they are making by this fake programme. Just take an example..at any given point in time at least 5000 people (conservative figure) will be holding online and it takes almost one hour for them to reveal the actual picture…so 5000*12*60 mins = 36 lakhs. The Ministry of broadcasting should interfere in this case and make sure that all the people should be refunded with the money which they have lost by participating in this programme. I suggest all of you take couple of minutes and send a mail to [protected]@ndtvimagine.com to show that people have recognized the fakeness of this show

I agree with ankit..!! Its all crap..! They have their own few people who keeps on calling and keep on giving incorrect answers...! What a shame...!!

I really wonder why nothing has been done about it yet..!!

Its nothing but fooling innocent people...!!!

Its like a robbery...!!!

Kindly take some action and penalise them, so that it shouldnt be repeated in the future..!!!

Yes... i m also the victim of this fraud programme by NDTV...
its kareena kapoor but they are answering wrong & wrong & a dramma of diconnected calls... ...

Dear Sir,


Gold safe live show on ndtv imagine is a fraud show. Its a live game show where they will display a part of the pic on display and ask you to name the celebrity. For giving the answers viewers have to call on 5664464 from their mobile phones only and they will charge you 12 rs/min. That is not the problem, the call will always be on the waiting list and the people who are successful to make a call, are none other than the goldsafe people themselves. Here how it goes once the call is made they will answer your call live and will ask you your name and where are you from after that they will ask you the answer. If you hear the voice carefully you will find the same voice again and again with different identity and intentionally they will answer wrong.

Reasons which confirm this is a fraud-

1. Same voice as if the one who calls is paid to do so.
2. Every person has a different tone and pattern, though you will find it same.
3. Questions are so simple that a 3 year old kid can answer and you will be amused to know that most of the people answer it incorrect purposefully


None of the real callers get a chance to get their call through to the studio. The call charges also are not displayed properly and people are being fooled in a big manner. i feel its a big scam and immediate action should be taken so that innocent countrymen are not fooled.

You can easily verify the proceedings of such shows by seeing and making call on those numbers. These programs go on for hours and hours.

There have been a lot of complains on this matter like - https://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/spicenet-ltd-c292145.html

I am amazed that such a fraudulent program is aired on a channel like NDTV imagine and innocent people are fooled. I feel immediate action should be taken in this regard.

hi ye jo show chalarahain hain unko gand marna chahiya arur uski patni ko prostitude ke kam main laga kar sare logon ke paise ko nikalna chahiya

i am 100% agrre Its a complete fake show.they all are suck people on here...all fraud people on here...they all are f(__)king ...!!!NDTV plz stop this show...

I 100% agreed with this complaint. I have the same worst experience with this ridiculous show. Irritated hosts, top of that silly questions, very unfair system of receiving calls.

Yes...he is right...even i called up on this number and I was on hold about an hour but they did not connect my call...and how can so many people give incorrect answers at one period of time...This programme is and should not be telecasted on NDTV Imagine...I request everyone not to play this game and to earn money on this fake show...jitne paise hai wo bhi chale jayenge...SO DIRECTOR OF THIS SHOW AND WHOLE TEAM OF NDTV IMAGINE...CUT THIS CRAP AND STOP FOOLING PEOPLE...

I think this Indian Consumer complain forum also is part of the syndicate, ppl have wasted their time writing here, but nothing has been done, no results... this show is a cheater...

sorry friends, i can't disagree from all of you>...
I M Pulkit Goyal From Bathinda, Punjab...
I Also call On This number...And They Take My Call...
In 3 Minutes...
Yaar It's true show...
They Take Calls...

I am totally agree with all comments posted above. I myself has lost many bucks by calling these people. Moreover, I observed one intresting thing that the puzzle which they show and the people (fake ones) who called will never answer the correct name in the show, no matter how simple the puzzle would be. In the last there would be any one who ansers it correct. All this is money making activity and should get banned, not only on ndtv, but these sort of programmes are running on zee tv and its subsidiries channel along with the india tv the great news channel.

I totally agree with this, and they are such a fraud they just making fool of innocent peoples there channel should be banned in India what the hell is going on why the hell Indian goverment sleeping to this matter wake up please and save innocent peoples money I don't know when India gonna be shine and when this fraud peoe willbe caught, and how come they gonna be caught after all they are making this programme with co operation of our corrupt politician and the bloody swine capitalists... They just think for themselves they even can't think for there childrens...

Its with utter dissappointment i am writing this.I have always been a fan of NDTV 24/7 & NDTV India. But i guess NDTV Imagine should be renamed as unimaginable.NDTV. A quality channel like this has stooped down to this extent that you have to host a fraud programme. This is Heights of Robbery. Should be a lesson across B-School and on all Media courses on how to make money using all the possible resources that you have at disposible.
On a brand perspective this show will definetly effect the brand image of NDTV.
I hope the so called Flag Bearers of NDTV are hearing this. If you do not act now, it would be too late, because what you are today is only because I as a viewer trust in the kind of programmes that you deliver under the brand name of NDTV.There is a certian amount of quality that i am assured just like any other brand like Coca Cola, Pepsi or a Nike.
Ministry of Broadcasting again will sleep till it is pulled up by Media.You guys can pull up anything even remotely vulgar on the basis of Morality.Just like UTV Bindass show-Emotinal Attyachar. But will never pull up when a fraud show is being hosted and hard earned people's money is being 'looted'.
According to me the following parties should be repremanded because they are directly or indirectly related to a crime of looting money.
a) NDTV Imagine or NDTV-The parent company holding NDTV Imagine.
b) The Ministry of Broadcasting who has joined hands with the producer and the channel heads to allow such shows to be conducted.
c) The Telecom companies who are charging Rs 12 per min. Has Train given them the go ahead ? If yes on what basis and even if a go ahead has been given why has the public at large been not informed? No Press re;ease. An ISD call is cheaper that this. VAS calls are cheaper than this.
This very cleary shows a percentage of profits for all the parties involved.

I do agree this is a fraud program

Call will not be taken, they will keep only on hold. This is totally fraud show. I want to know whether I can file a complaint in consumer forum near my place?

Thanks in advance for all your responses.

Yesterday i want to test about how much time they will pickup call. i was in line around 51 min, but not luck. On 27-Feb-10, i will go to Police Station of Velachery and i will submit a fraud case againest Goldsafe and NDTV.

if they are going to continue to fool ppl and try to make mo0ney like this then a legal course of action will be taken

thik bola hai aapne. kal mainey 1400 lost kia. pura show ek bar bhi mera line nehi laga, pura show hold karti gaye. aap log bhi paisa barbad mat kijiya.

I GOT 1200 OF MY MOBILE BILL IN JUST ONE NIGHT.

Its really ridiculous. NDTV is a news company, supposed to bring truth and real happenings around the world. Playing such a fool game with its viewers is just spreading a HATE FEELING in everybodies heart. Lets make it reach everyone in this country. Lets spread the message by HATENDTV tagword.
