Dear Sir,

I had bought a Pen video camera from Indiatimes shopping vide my
Order no.[protected] dt. 11/3/2010.

The Pen Video Camera delivered to me was a defective piece and I
lodged complaint with Indiatimes and they told me to deliver the
defective material to their representative m/s TNT Courier, which I
did vide TNT Receipt No. DO[protected] WW DT. 05/05/2010., and I
will be sent the other defect less Pen Camera in a week’s time.

I called on Indiatimes phone no.[protected] on 18/05/2010 and after
holding on for more than 20 minutes some Mr. Sushil of Indiatimes
Call Centre gave Docket no 268059 and told that the New Pen Camera
will be delivered to me in 4 working days.

After waiting for many days I called again on phone no.[protected]
04/06/2010 and again waiting for more than 20 minutes I was told by
Mr.Vikas the delivery will be on 8/6/2010.

On 08/06/2010 when I did not receive the Pen Camera I called again the
same phone no. then the same person Mr.Vikas of India time gave me
new Complaint no. 289257 with new delivery date of 14/06/2010

Again on 14/6/2010, when I did not receive Pen Camera I called
Indiatimes phone I was assured by Mr.Vibhanshu that the Pen Camera
will be positively delivered on 15/06/2010

I called again on 16/6/2010 at 6.55 p.m., when I did not receive any
thing Mr.Sanjay of Indiatimes registered a new complasint no. 292165
and told me the delivery will take 4 days and now it will be delivered
on 20/06/2010.

Again when it was not delivered I called on 22/06/2010 the same
Mr.Sanjay gave me the same complaint no 292165 with new delivery date
26/06/2010.

I did not receive anything from Indiatimes and called again on
28/06/2010 and one Mr.Pankaj Kumar first told that he can give me
refund as they have no stock of Pen Camera, but when I insisted he
told me to wait till 1st July 2010. On the other side they still are
giving advertisements for the same product to lure public and
simultaneously saying it is out of stock. I donot know when I will
receive since I donot see positive intention of Indiatimes, this is
a daylight robbery and cheating Indiatimes is commiting..


Each time I called Indiatimes, they have kept me waiting for more than
20 minutes and perhaps I may have to spend more on phone calls
than the Pen Camera is worth, leave apart the time wasted on making
futile phone calls to Indiatimes.

I have read many complaints against Indiatimes Shopping on internet
regarding the befooling of innocent public who fall their prey with
their Advertising and waste their time and money.

Is there no law enforcing Agency or forum in India who can take to
task such inclandistine shopping shops .

I will like to lodge a Police Complaint against India shopping
chating, if my order is not accomplished in spite of so much follow
up.

I hope Indiatimes Shopping will wake up and stop cheating innocent Public.

Matters relating to Indiatimes Shopping be reported to Delhi Police and also to Economic Offense Wing.

Management of Indiatimes Shopping alongwith their Call Centre employees are soon going to be behind bars since they are the part and parcel of this Cheating company.

All victimes of Indiatimes Shopping, good news is their employees are leaving the company for fear of arrest.

Only their Managing Director alone will be running the company single handedly as in few days the company will be empty of manpower due to such cheating practices encouraged by the Managing Director.

I agree with Mr. Abhishek, I'm also one of the victim on the Pen video cam scam... They promised to refund the amount, it's been 2 months, no show from them.

i placed orders for a pencam after going through the newspaper. next day it came with some freebees. So, when i called up they said place the order for the second one and the money paid through credit card for the first order would be refunded. But it took some time to get the refund. Second time, i placed orders for the same thing, since i lost the one purchased. After placing the order over phone using credit card, i was told the transaction was declined and so placed orders on the4 same afternoon again through credit card. Then one person calls me from Indiatimes and says the first order is materialised. Therefore, i asked him to cancel the same. Instead of cancellilng oncew again another order was registered. Thus there were three orders. Finallly i got one order cancelled and got the refund after several weeks. one order materialised and i got the item. But, the one ordered first, which includes book club membership, has not been refunded so far and it is more than three months, nothing happened about the refund. but i feel they are taking advantage of the use of credit card in the transaction. No books were sent also, since they collected the book club membership amount of Rs.500/- in the first transaction. Now, i am thinking of going to the Consumer Forum. RAGHU P.S., MYSORE.

Thanking you.

Even I have a bad experience.I ordered Rakhi to be sent to US.Neither the rakhi got delivered nor I got any intimation.If I try calling up the customer care executives then noone picks up the call.No reply to mails as well as messeges.I really do not know what to do.

I ordered a mobile phone Eiroga E series phone.
However, they sent me some GilD chinese phone which is not same as Eiroga E series that i had paid for.
They asked for a Demand Draft in advance and cash on delivery option of payment is not provided for most of products so that consumers are looted in advance and they can send products which are not of same specifications as shown by their website.
please be aware of these scammers and fraud people.

As per advertized in Mumbai mirror paper in 20 april 2011 this HTC ozone is 3G enabled to confirm that phone is supporting GSM 3G services I called indiatimes customer care they also confirmed same, hence I purchased this mobile. took Vodafone 3G connection and it was not working, to verify I went vodafone gallery they told me that this phone is not 3G enable.
I again complaint in indiatimes shopping and i talk with Amit Kumar (Sr.Executive) and they refuse to take this product back. and when i told that i will complaint this matter in court he told me that do whatever you want to do i can’t help. So i need this indiatimes shopping close permanently otherwise they will do with other customer also.
