India Today Book Club — MONEY NOT RETURNED

Sir,
Like the others I was convinced by a telephonic conversation on 2nd aug 2010 by one of the sales man named Mr Ravi Das that I won 55,000 rupees gifts/cash . To claim the same I will have to purchase a product from them. By the brand name INDIA TODAY I was convinced and purchase a product bed sheet of rupees 5698 with delivery charge 598 on 4th august 2010, It was promised I will get product within 7 days. After 7-9 days I got a parcel of two reebok watches but not the main product. After that I called bag it today, they replied me that the product was not available and my money will be refunded. I said ok how long it will take time to get my money back? They said within 7 days. After a few days the so called RAVI DAS again called me saying that my earlier product was kept on hold as I my reward amount has been doubled to 1,10,000.00 for which I have to purchase one more product. As per the phone call I again purchased a sony erricson c903 mobile phone using my credit card. My transaction was of 8998+598 rupees on 25th august 2010 with ID s[protected] & 11084737 . He told me that I will get confirmation email but I did not get any mail. I have received two sms s of transactions made with LIVING MEDIA INDIA LTD. Again the next day the so called representative called me again telling that I hve to pay another 2000 rupees to fulfill the requirements. I have paid 2000 rupees. But after that neither I am getting any product except two reebok watches again. When I contacted them they told me that my transactions are not matching with the number and person. I have contacted with bank they told me that the LIVING MEDIA INDIA LTD has claimed all the money on 26th and 27th august.
Now I have the proofs of the payments in the form of credit card bill detail. And sms . I need my money back. I hope you will do a fever for me. I will publish it on all the main leading news channels and papers. INDIA TODAY IS A BIG BIG BIG BIG FRAUD. Bank is ready to help me because I have the proofs. Are Listening me THE INDIA TODAY BOOK CLUB?

India Today Book Club — not returning my money back

I ordered for the rebok fitness kit by seeing the mail received from promotional offers from irctc through india today book club.

I have ordered for one set of fitness kit and i paid through my credit card.The very next day i got a call from india today book club that my process in bill payment threw online has not completed and so they asked me to do the bill payment by IVR. So again i given my details in the IVR for making payment.

That day i noticed that the amount of rupees 3198 has been detected twice from my account for one single order. I received two orders instead of one.

After inquiry with your customer care i have sent back the extra order to India today book club, Delhi on 05/02/2009 .

I received confirmation message to my mobile from india today book club stating my order has returned back to india today book club.

Each and every time i call them they just manage to pass time saying they are checking that this etc...

they are trying to cheat ...

India Today Book Club — Not returning back the amount

Hi,

I have ordered for a Samsung Marine Phone and a Reebok kit from ITBC and paid the amount on 30th of August 2009. The details are as mentioned below -

Product Order No.
Samsung Marine Mobile 0GA[protected]
Reebok Kit 0GA[protected]

My membership no. is - ITBC09104168

Even after a month when I didnt recieved the products I have ordered I called up and checked and they said the product is not available so I asked to cancel the order.
They asked me to drop a mail to cancel which I did and since then I have sent them around 7-8 mails to cancel the order and refund back my amount of Rs 8796.

I am still awaiting a response from them and refund of the amount I have paid them.

If you want I can provide you the entire mail trail of the same as well.

Thanks,
Manish

Hi,

Neither the ITBC nor this site seems to be acting on the complaints put in.
There is no change in the status since the time I have registered the complaint and till today.
Could you people please help me get my money back from this fraud company India Today Book Club.

Thanks in advance.

Manish.
