[Resolved]  India Today Book Club Sweepstakes Offer — Is it reliable

Hi

I got a mail IRCTC and India Today Book Club (ITBC) stating that there's gonna be a draw which will win me prizes if luck clicks.

I've signed in and ordered the offers (which includes a tour package, an adidas bag and few books) worth 500.

I would like to if there's something like "ITBC" really exists and is the lucky draw gonna happen for sure?

The doubt arouse cos the prize amount were a little high.

Cheers
Eddy

Dear Sir,

Today 24/02/2010, morning at 11am i got a call from India Today, sales executive named Ranjan Kumar what he was saying, "Sir u have been shortlisted for the lucky draw for India Today Sweepstakes 60 lakhs which will be held on end of March 2010, for which what u need to do is the following :"

1. If, u purchase a Samsung Mobile - 13, 998/= (You r eligible for silver category & u will receive Rs.1Lakhs
Cheque as soon as u purchase & u will be eligible for
max.12 Lakhs lucky draw & all soft copy doc. will be
there in ur mail as u punch ur credit card.)

2.If, u purchase a Longue Watch - 29, 000/= (You r eligible for platinum category & will receive a cheque of
Rs.2 Lakhs & u will be eligible for 40 lakhs lucky draw)
3.If, u purchase a Playing box - 17, 500/= (You r eligible for gold category & will receive 1.5 Lakhs as soon
as u purchase)
Sir, after hearing these things from the executive i told him that the registration is in the name of my uncle Mr. Amarnath Chakraborty, so i need to consult with him & then proceed & told him to give me a call back at 6 pm, by the time i found some doubt & took the of help line frm him.
Inbetween what i did, i called up in this help line no. & asked that is there any offer for sweepstakes 60 lakhs going on for India today, they replied yes but there is no such assurance that after u purchase the above individual goods u will get the amount like 1 lakh or 1.5 or 2 lakhs.Moreover there was no such comparison of the words frm the help line, customer care & these sales executive team. And, at last the customer care Mr. Kapil said me that pls do not purchase any goods from these India Today people by credit card.

Sir, is India Today is doing the right thing towards the customer i dont believe so .If, possible please do take necessary action.

Thank you,
Shibnath Chakraborty.
Guys !
I too accepted the offer, got a call from India Today, the mobile phone discount offer, the sweepstakes via email, the books I bought for Rs.500/- and other exciting offers, like holidays and what not. But being myself a little less on cash, I didn't have much to buy, so the offers stop coming to me and today I still wonder whether it is just a profitable sale to mess with us or a real one.
-its a spam mail.

someone jus buys it once, it makes his whole life.

because of mans greedy nature, in this profession there are lots of dishonest proposals.
BERWARE.
