[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 Friends,

I also got a call telling me that I have won price of Rs.14000/- (rebok shoes and holiday package & air tickets he asked for my shoes number also) and for that I have to CD worth of Rs.2249/- Please tell me it is fake or real...
It is advised to general public that icici prudential and metlife agents are making fool to people.
I have been cheated twice once by axis/uti bank and icici bank.
I requested for depositing little sum of money in FD.
They sugested me for prulife and metlife for making more money.
Now I came to know that it was insurance scheme and not FD related scheme.
The agents are fooling people by promising FDs and giving insurance schemes.
I was not interested in insurance schemes.
I advice all to be careful before investing money through such agents.
Thanks.
Also I got a mail from IRCTC and India today group Book Club of Certificate of Eligiblity to Win Rs 6000000 thus I want to Confirm and Verify Whether this Real or a Fake One Like UK Lottery Mails.

And If False and Fake Why don't you People Take Action and If By any Chance Real then I may be by Chance Lucky Winner of the Same. Kindly Verify and Oblge.

Sir, I will be grateful and thankful for Verifying and revert back to me your feed back in this Regards

Thanks/Regards
