[Resolved]  RADIO ONE -94.3 FM BANGALORE — Prize not received after winning contest

I have won the IPL Phataphat quiz on Radio One, Bangalore (94.3FM ) on 15th May, 2008 .

Even after repeated emails to the company no one has contacted me on how to claim the prize .

I feel that the company is running a massive fraud wherein they encourage people to send them SMS with the correct answers . all correct SMS do not win a prize . Even if you win the contest, they do not give you the prize .

Pls take proper action against the company and make other listeners aware of this Scam so that no one spends money on sending them SMS.

Regards
Sancharan Roy

Hi listeners
It is nice to know that there are so many along with me enjoying & listening Prithvi's show early morning. I didn't get one thing, when u people have the patience to make sms & call early morning only in the idea to win or get something, why don't u also have the patience to go through actual procedure which they might have. So next time when u win, ask them the procedure or time duration to receive the same u r expecting or else simply enjoy by listening like me I say!!!:>) *****

HI Prithvi,


I want to Make my Wife As Birthday Bakra. Her birthday is on 11th September 2009. She is Very Craze About Foriegn Trips.


Tahnk you
I know there would be formalities for distribution of prizes when such contests are announced, but what's wrong with the Radio One system that no one picks up our call and explains us how to go about in Claiming the prize.

Prithvi has mentioned in the blog to contact a particular number for claiming the prizes. I have continously tried calling on that number. Either my call goes unanswered or some other unconnected person picks the call.

The other day some stupid called me up from the same number and started talking like a mad cap saying that even he had won a wrist watch from Radio one and is not a position to claim his prize.

I have started feeling that these contests are just a humbug.

I hope Radio one proves me wrong and gives me my prize.

Even I feel that the winners are their own fake people..as its been so many times that I have sent them correct answers via sms infact as soon as they have asked the very question I have sent the correct answer but its strange I never won.
Another thing is that while commutiong to office in morning I usually listen to 94.3 and everyday there is some contest going around..I have tried many a times to answer them but no one ever picks the phone on the number prithavi announces on the show.
Its all a strategy for the radio station to announce so many contests to keep listeners glued to their station.
