In the first week of August 09, on telephone offer to avail 2 days and 3 nights holiday in Rs2598/- was made by the company. On further inquiring it was mentioned that due to bulk purchase of Holiday Packages, the company is offering this scheme. The payment was made by credit card on IVR. To my surprise I recieved some books with a bill of Rs2598/- on 12th August 09. It should be noted that on telephone it was never mentioned that I have to purchase books. I have not ordered any books and instead of sending the voucher for Holiday the company has sent books. This is clear breach of contract and the company should be booked under sec 420 of IPC.
I received a call from the company and was told that if i paid Rs. 7590/- then i will get a 17 inches LCD Philips TV, a home theatre, a DVD player and also will get a travel voucher for 6 days and 7 nights anywhere within India. The transaction was done over IVR and the amount was deducted from my ICICI Bank credit card last month and i have not received the product yet. To my horror i even forgot where did i write down the reference number. So i have talked to ICICI bank and they have asked me to raise a dispute complaint. I have never come across such a cheat like this company. And i agree when someone mentioned that the company should be booked under section 420 of the IPC.

Dear Living Media Head,

I received a call from your Living Media India Ltd, India Today on 21.11.2009 from your sales person, Subhash Sony with an domestic tour package of Rs.3198.00 from the land line no.[protected]. They have given below details of the package: 1. Accommodation in their listed three/five star hotels for two nights and three days for two adults and one children with food and with round trip air tickets to any place with in India. I received such call for two times earlier and the call received on the above mentioned date was the third.
The salesman insisted us to take saying that this as last day of the offer. We asked him whether is it true and ethical offer ? then, he replied that it is of India Today's offer and what ever the above said facilities will be arranged if we inform them at least 10 days before the planned tour. Then, we replied him we have two kids and if he can provide total above package to all o[censored]s including the air ticket, we will purchase one package. Then, he has taken the details of our credit card and given one transaction ID, latter even he requested us that if we purchase two such packages he/his company would offer Philiphs DVD for it. Like that he encouraged us to purchase 4 domestic packages. And after this he requested me to purchase one more package of International and said indeed this package is of Rs.25, 000.00 but I would offer this for Rs.5, 943.
We were asking him again and again that it is not a bluff one no, because all my friends tickets and my ticket were purchased on my credit card only. Again he requested me that if we purchase two such packages they will offer one Home theater and Longiness wrist watch. He mentioned for two domestic packages they will offer one DVD as gift and for two international packages they will offer Home theater and Longiness wrist watch as gifts.
He mentioned the above as the gifts and they would provide round trip air tickets for two adults and two kids and they would provide two night and three days accommodation in hotel. He finally told that we would receive a verification call after ten hours, as the time lost uptill late night and next day is Sunday I received a call from[protected] on 23.11.20093 at 3 P.M and they denied of providing air tickets for 2+2 and there was a difference in the sales man information and verification people information and we told them we donot want anything and said to cancel all the packages. But, your people debited amount
of 4 domestic packages and one International package on one card and one International package with transaction id 288143 and an extra amount of Rs. 29, 348.00 has been debited with transaction id 698798 on another card.
As, we received this call from Living media india today ltd., and the information is not ethical we lost the hope on this and request you to credit total amount to my credit card accounts. Please kindly look in to this at the earliest time. We are writing to you because the bank and the details seen in the view credit card statement are with Living Media India Limited.

With Regards,
Bhuvaneshwar
