I have also fell into readers' digest sweepstakes scam and subscribed for a year last year 2010. I asked to cancel this year's subscription and they say that my subscription "has been terminated as per requested". BUT... they didn't cancel my bill of SGD99.00!!!
They still ask a "Active Debt Collections Service" to ask for payment from me and say in bold that "We are instructed that this letter is a FINAL DEMAND."

What the [censored]??? I don't owe them anything anymore!! Stop asking me for payment!!! I sent another letter to them already. Will update here when they reply...
Reader digest is cheating everyone with the prize letters.
Anyone replying to the prize mails will have to buy books which are useless. The prize letters will have one line mentioned in somewhere in the pile of pages received. Once you reply to any of the letters you will get a gift of some useless object and a book. You will continue to receive these kind of gifts for many months and there will be follow up letter which says you have to pay the due amount. The money will gradually raise and they will respond with harsh followup letters if you don't pay the amount. In the end you will end up paying a huge sum of money over months and you will know that you will never get the lakhs or cars

Never fall for readers digest and I suggest you go for better magazines with good standards.
In my experience Reader digest follows a third rate business tactics which is not even followed by telemarketers.
