Sur, Saaz & Taal - 16 Cd pack — No Free Gifts & No Replacement CD

You sent me 16 Cd pack under your invoice no. ORA[protected]; dt 3/3/09. I am not able to claim the free air tickets and free holiday voucher promised by you because your website www. bookstoday.in/promos/htm does not exist. I have trie this for last 2 months. Your people can not answer beyond the stock reply of 'apologies' and 'try after a few days again'. Why can't you send the air ticket and holiday voucher by courier, I can not understand.
You sent me 2 identcal CD's of Zakir Hussain, so I sent back 1 CD at my cost with a request for replacemnet by Hari Prasad Chaurasia CD, which was promised but not sent. I have received no response except acknowledgement.
Can you give definite reply as to when can I expect positive action from your end? I have waited for 2 months very patiently. Don't you think we consumers deserve better treatment than this? Please, reply soonest and act fastest.

India Today Book Club — NO GENUINE BRAND

respected sir,
I ordered for a pair of BENETTON sunglasses from INDIA TODAY BOOK CLUB... I received my order today(16 jun 2009) but i feel a bit doubtful of the authenticity of the brand...and also i enquired it with the nearest UCB BENETTON outlet...they said that they didnt receive any such model at their store...and they didnt want to comment about the pair of glass u sent.. and also that the invoice says UCB SUNGLASSES60CCU3696-GREEN...i want know whether it is true or any kind of fraud is taking place...am expecting a mail from u as soon as possible...MY ORDER NUMBER IS 0GA[protected]
The 16 pack Cd is the big Fraud. After receiving the cds and the voucher, I received a courier from bigcity asking for 7000/- DD for air tickets taxes. Why was this not informed in any of the terms and conditions anywhere while making this offer. Dont fall for this scam
BHARTI AIRTEL HAS CHARGED WRONGLY RS 78 FROM MY PREPAID MOBILE NO [protected]. ON COMPLAINTING FOR THE SAME, THEY ARE SAYING THAT I HAVE DIALLED ANY SPECIAL NO FOR 15-20 MINTS, WHILE I NEVER DIALLED SUCH NO FROM THAT NO.NOW THEY ARE REFUSING TO REVERT THAT RS 78. CAN SOMEONE GUIDE ME HOW TO FIGHT AGAINST THIS KIND OF DADAGIRI ?
ITBC Is a cheating organisation, I have paid Rs.2598/- towards free gifts on 18-01-09 till date not recieved the gift, whenever contacted toll free line they tell that it was returned by me.

Its really cheating business.

Government should take appropriate action against such cheaters.

I have purchased Agatha Christie - set of 7 DVD'S - Vol. 1 (Book Code AI.629) and have received the same. I was told that I shall be entitled to receive (a) Air Ticket voucher worth RS. 7000 (b) Voucher worth RS. 5000 for staying in hotel at selected places. (c) Reebok shoe ( For which they have taken my foot size which is 7). For claiming gifts I have been asked to log on to www.bookstoday.in/promos.htm which I did. The site could be opened but could not find the place where I could post my e mail id and unique number to claim the special offer. Now what should I do for claiming the offers?

Similar thing for me. Got a Reebok track suit - it was obviously duplicate stuff - poor stitching - threads coming off - even the logo was wrong and poorly stitched on.

Just saw that there are more than 2000 complaints for India today book club - seven times more complaints than even Tata motors.

Something funny is going on here. the India today leadership might not even be aware of what happening in their book club division - and the division is very likey to be turning in a huge profit if they are selling duplicate stuff and all.

Such areputed company can play like this with masses is realy a matter of surprise.
dear sir,
i am very surprised to note that such a internationally known company can play around with the people .
i booked the reebok sunglasses for Rs 999/= on telephone which was a call from india today, i was offered the free gift for hotel stay and was told that your free gift shall be dispatched with order. after receiving i didnt find any thing apart form the sunglasses. upon calling up several times the reponse was please check the free gift site and claim your gift . the site is not working and secondly why people have to do so when the message is very clear on mail send to me and on telephone that every thing shall be dispatched . why ? is the company fooling around with the people or some body making fraud .
is there any one who can investigate this
